True Person Zhenjun Jiaxi was an existence who was rational to the point of freezing.

Almost the moment he saw the light of the teleportation array soaring into the sky, he issued the order to retreat, and at the same time exploded with full force, forcing back Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Su Shize who was entangling him to the death.

Su Shize also knew that reinforcements had arrived; if he could entangle him for another two or three breaths, he could leave behind a True Person from the Jin Peng Star Realm.

That would be a sky-high merit and harvest.

In the past hundred years, the number of True Persons slain could be counted on one's fingers.

But the problem is that a True Person is a True Person; even if it's a First-Tribulation True Person, it's still a True Person who has integrated the Laws and refined the Star Tribulation, especially the one in front of him, who should be of the royal bloodline of the Jin Peng clan; he had been able to entangle him for so long, and he had already been injured repeatedly; the opponent wanted to escape at this time, and he really couldn't keep him.

A group of alien Star Lords from the Jin Peng Star Realm only heard the word "retreat" and one after another exploded regardless of the cost; the moment they forced back or severely wounded their powerful enemies, one after another they soared into the sky.

And the moment they soared into the sky, True Person Zhenjun Jiaxi, who had forced back Su Shize, had a golden roc phantom appear behind him; with a sharp cry, the golden light circled in the sky, and after leaving behind long afterimages, he turned and charged toward the Star River.

Where the golden light passed, all the alien Star Lords who had managed to soar into the sky vanished, and then were taken along as they charged into the Star River.

It was also at this time that the light of the teleportation array reached its peak and began to decline rapidly, which also represented that the teleportation was successful.

Xu Jin sensed the terrifying pressure at the first moment!

The moment the terrifying pressure and divine sense of a Sixth-Tribulation True Person spread out, a strand of cyan gale had already charged out first, rolling toward that golden light in the void.

But it only blasted through strands of afterimages, and after chasing the golden light transformed by True Person Zhenjun Jiaxi into the Star River, it dissipated rapidly under the impact of the Chaos Star Gang.

The next instant, as the cyan shadow flickered, True Person Commander Tian Zhang, who had arrived first to provide support, chased after him, and conveniently, he also slapped an alien Great Tianyang Xingjun who hadn't managed to escape to death.

Seeing that he was about to charge into the Star River, Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Su Shize suddenly transmitted his voice via spirit, "Father, do not pursue a desperate enemy!"

The moment he heard the voice transmission, True Person Commander Tian Zhang had already charged into the Star River, his gaze fixed tightly on the golden light fleeing at high speed in the Star River.

That golden light was the famous divine ability of the Jin Peng royal family, the Golden Roc Divine Light, which could be used for both attacking and escaping, especially when fleeing, its speed was extremely fast.

As long as the opponent used this divine ability to save their life, he wouldn't be able to catch up.

But the opponent definitely couldn't continue to use this divine ability.

In other words, as long as he kept chasing, theoretically he could catch up; the only difference was whether it would be in half a day or a day.

But in Su Shize's reminder, it contained multiple meanings; True Person Commander Tian Zhang, who had experienced countless storms, understood in seconds and stopped in an instant!

Seeing this, Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Su Shize finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This battle was filled with oddities everywhere.

What if True Person Commander Tian Zhang pursued into the Star River alone like this and then encountered an ambush?

Everyone was very skilled at playing things like chain traps.

By then, the Jin Peng Star Realm would have created an unprecedented great victory in recent years.

The Dongxuan Star Realm would also lose a True Person.

But the Commander Tian Zhang Su family... the sky would collapse!

In fact, True Person Commander Tian Zhang had only considered this point and didn't pursue either.

If one person went over, there really was a possibility of being ambushed.

The next instant, True Person Commander Tian Zhang turned back instantly; at the same time, Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Su Shize had already begun to command others to surround and annihilate the remaining Tianyang Xingjun powerhouses of the Jin Peng Star Realm who hadn't escaped.

The retreat before leaving was very urgent; True Person Zhenjun Jiaxi only had time to take away the subordinates who had broken out of the battle; as for the subordinates who hadn't broken out of the battle in that extremely short time, he could only give them up.

Regarding whether to save more or save fewer, he was very rational.

There were more than twenty of them, but most were Lesser Star Lords and Great Star Lords, and there was only one Suppressing Tianyang Xingjun.

The subsequent battle was a sweeping battle.

Among the thousands of people cultivating on the Star River Isolated Island itself, there were sixty or seventy Star Lords; a portion had died in battle or were severely wounded, but surrounding and annihilating the remaining ones at this time was very easy.

In despair, these Star Lords from the Jin Peng Star Realm, seeing no hope of survival, actually burned their Dao Embryos to explode.

Even if they died, they were unwilling to leave even a shred of resources for the human race.

Unfortunately, True Person Commander Tian Zhang was on the side.

If True Person Commander Tian Zhang weren't there, at least four or five of them could really have taken a wave with them after burning their Dao Embryos to explode.

But True Person Commander Tian Zhang was here, so it was impossible to give them a chance.

His gaze just glanced slightly, and a strand of light wind was flicked from his fingertips, fast as thunder and incomparably sharp.

The light wind slashed by; the alien Star Lords who were about to burn their Dao Embryos or had already burned them were torn into pieces as the light wind circled, and even their spirits were injured repeatedly, and the divine fire burning on their Dao Embryos was slashed away on the spot.

Immediately, human Star Lords nearby rushed over, using all kinds of methods to seal all the broken physical bodies and Dao Embryos.

This was excellent loot; although they only played a supporting role, there was still military merit.

On the other side, Xu Jin had already placed his palm on the shoulder of the unconscious Great Tianyang Xingjun Zhang Huai, his brows slightly furrowed.

To tell the truth, when he first teleported over, this Great Tianyang Xingjun Zhang Huai was very annoying to him.

At that time, he had thoughts of revenge, and if there was a chance, he would give him a hard one.

Later, during the great battle, seeing this guy actually heroically charge toward that Imperial Tianyang Xingjun, that was a situation where he knew he was severely wounded or even certain to die.

But this guy didn't hesitate.

Xu Jin had a thought flash in his mind at that time: he forgave this guy and wouldn't hold a grudge.

No one is perfect!

Just for this scene of fearless charging, he was qualified to drink with him.

Later on, Xu Jin was blasted away by Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Jiali's strike, seemingly severely wounded; at the critical moment, while Xu Jin used Space Displacement to save his life, Zhang Huai, this guy, rescued him with all his might without hesitation, and it was by driving his own life-bound suppressing artifact to block Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Jiali's attack.

You must know that a life-bound suppressing artifact is actually equivalent to a cultivator's second life.

Being damaged will definitely cause a backlash, and being severely damaged will definitely cause a severe injury from the backlash, and it's an injury to the Dao Embryo that is extremely difficult to recover from.

Zhang Huai's life-bound suppressing artifact was directly shattered in order to save him.

So he also fell unconscious on the spot.

Two severe injuries in succession made the injuries to Zhang Huai's physical body and spirit extremely heavy.

The injury to the physical body was easier to talk about; as long as he wasn't dead, he could be saved.

At this very moment, Xu Jin's Star Healing Star Pattern was working with all its might to treat and recover Zhang Huai's injuries.

But the trouble was the injury to Zhang Huai's Dao Embryo; the moment Xu Jin's divine sense invaded, he discovered that Zhang Huai's Dao Embryo was full of cracks, just like porcelain covered in cracks, many of which had split into large gaps, on the verge of completely shattering.

Xu Jin fed him a Green Lotus Moon Flower Pill with astonishing medicinal effects that he had nurtured at the first moment, and at the same time activated Dream Warmth, letting him fall into the deepest slumber.

But these, at most, only kept his injuries from worsening.

Normally speaking, if there were no Eighth-Tier or even Ninth-Tier spirit medicines for the spirit, Zhang Huai was dead for sure!

Before long, the Dao Embryo would constantly shatter until he died.

However, Xu Jin also had a way to treat him; with a slight movement of his divine sense, he induced a Divine Dao Golden Bead, wanting to strike it into his body.

Four or five Divine Dao Golden Beads should be able to save this guy's life.

But just as he was preparing to personally use spirit power to strike it into his Dao Embryo, the light of the teleportation array rose again; at the same time, Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Su Shize also charged over, so Xu Jin could only give up temporarily.

"This Daoist Xu, what exactly happened here just now, who blocked it!" Su Shize asked.

Actually, at that time when Su Shize was in a great battle with True Person Zhenjun Jiaxi, he was almost desperate.

He saw the lineup charging toward the teleportation array: one Imperial Tianyang Xingjun, two Suppressing Star Lords; relying on the teleportation array's guard Zhang Huai, he absolutely couldn't block it.

Let alone ten breaths, he couldn't even block it for three breaths.

So he roared at Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Liao Jin, wanting Liao Jin to come over and block that alien Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Jiali. In that case, Great Tianyang Xingjun Zhang Huai would lead two Lesser Star Lords to meet the two Suppressing Star Lords; with Zhang Huai's bravery, dragging it out for ten or so breaths wouldn't be a problem.

But he didn't expect that the alien side had long since made preparations.

Another Imperial Tianyang Xingjun rushed out and intercepted Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Liao Jin.

To tell the truth, when he saw this scene, Su Shize was truly desperate.

He had the heart to flee alone, but doing so would only bring shame to the Commander Tian Zhang Su clan and make his descendants unable to hold their heads high; he could only coexist and perish with the Dongxuan Isolated Island.

When he discovered Xu Jin rushing over, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart again.

How great the hope was at that time, the curiosity at this very moment was just as heavy.

He extremely wanted to know what the situation was.

One Imperial Tianyang Xingjun and two Suppressing Star Lords; how did Xu Jin block them?

Just as Xu Jin was contemplating how to say it, the starlight of the teleportation array flickered fiercely, and figures appeared in the teleportation array; Su Shize's gaze also looked toward the teleportation array.

A breath later, the starlight of the teleportation array began to decay, and the moment figures charged out, Eldest Princess Zhu Linxiao had already charged toward Xu Jin like lightning.

The moment she saw the bloodstains on Xu Jin's chest, her eyes tightened fiercely, and the moment her star power and divine sense covered Xu Jin's skin, her expression relaxed, and a sweet smile had already appeared.

She didn't say a word, but Xu Jin felt the thick concern from it.

"All participants remain in place, waiting for treatment and counting.

All supporters, thoroughly search and clean up the entire isolated island." True Person Commander Tian Zhang's order resounded instantly.

Originally, this order was nothing, but the two words "counting" revealed a somewhat unusual meaning, making Xu Jin's gaze change slightly.

At this time, there were many people, and it wasn't convenient for Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Su Shize to question Xu Jin about the battle situation, and Great Tianyang Xingjun Zhang Huai was already severely wounded and unconscious; he checked the injuries and estimated that he wouldn't be able to wake up in a short time.

Of the two Lesser Star Lords guarding here, one died miserably on the spot, and the other had his physical body shattered and his Dao Embryo severely injured, but he was still alive and not unconscious, which showed how intense the battle was.

Conveniently, Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Su Shize took this Lesser Tianyang Xingjun's Dao Embryo away first to ask and see.

"Daoist Xu, you come with me; the True Person has words to ask."

"Alright, I'll stabilize Zhang Huai's injuries and then go."

"Alright."

As he nodded, Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Su Shize left first.

Xu Jin also breathed a sigh of relief; taking this time, he could also organize his language well to see how to talk about the battle results.

Regarding the matter of blasting Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Jiali to death, should he admit it on the spot?

Xu Jin was thinking about this problem while treating Zhang Huai's injuries, and while no one was paying attention, he quietly struck a Divine Dao Golden Bead into this guy to save his life first.

In his spirit sensing, Zhang Huai's Dao Embryo, which was like cracked porcelain, began to recover rapidly under the effect of a Divine Dao Golden Bead.

Especially the large gaps that had cracked open on the surface of the Dao Embryo began to heal rapidly, but one bead's effect was limited to this.

Xu Jin didn't dare to strike in any more Divine Dao Golden Beads.

Su Shize had already checked Zhang Huai's injuries just now; if he recovered all at once, it would instead arouse suspicion.

Just at this moment, Xu Jin had already made a decision.

As for the matter of slaying Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Jiali, he would muddle through it if he could; anyway, no one saw it.

Even if someone glanced at it occasionally, they couldn't be sure.

The reason for this decision was only one: Xu Jin currently had many enemies, both in the open and in the dark.

In the open, there was True Person Bixuan; in the dark, there was True Person Tianfa; these were the big ones.

If the matter of him slaying an Imperial Tianyang Xingjun reached the ears of these two, then one day, the powerful experts these two sent to deal with Xu Jin would very likely be True Persons.

Especially that old ghost True Person Bixuan, who might even take action personally.

That was too dangerous.

The great battle just now, especially the great battle with Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Jiali, gave Xu Jin a rough estimate of his own combat power.

If he didn't use explosive means, he was just barely at the combat power of a Great Tianyang Xingjun, much worse than a top-tier Great Tianyang Xingjun.

If he used an explosive means, such as using Chaos Star Gang alone or using the Eight Stars Merging alone, he could explode with the combat power of a top-tier Suppressing Tianyang Xingjun; in the situation where the two great killing moves were superimposed, especially when using a large amount of Chaos Star Gang at once, it was the combat power of a top-tier Imperial Tianyang Xingjun.

But because the storage of Chaos Star Gang was limited, the combat power of a top-tier Imperial Tianyang Xingjun could only be exploded once.

For the superimposed explosion that severely wounded Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Jiali earlier, Xu Jin injected eighty strands of Chaos Star Gang at once.

Currently, Xu Jin's Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower could store at most one hundred and forty-three strands of Chaos Star Gang; using Imperial Tianyang Xingjun Jiali as a reference, with Xu Jin's current cultivation, if he injected all of it and exploded with full force, perhaps he could block or injure a First-Tribulation True Person.

Limited to injuring, and then buying time for Xu Jin himself to save his life.

This was the worst-case scenario.

Of course, when Xu Jin's cultivation improved again, it would be different.

But for now, Xu Jin felt it was better to keep a low profile, let the enemy underestimate him as much as possible, and trade for time to grow!

High in the sky, Su Shize was reporting the losses and battle results just calculated to True Person Commander Tian Zhang.

This time, True Person Zhenjun Jiaxi of the Jin Peng Star Realm led a team to raid, killing one hundred and twenty-four cultivators of the Dongxuan Star Realm, among whom one hundred and nine were Ninth-Tier cultivators, ninety-four were Daoists of the Dongxuan Dao Palace, twelve Lesser Star Lords died in battle, and three Great Star Lords died.

Listening to Su Shize's report, True Person Commander Tian Zhang's face became increasingly ugly.

The losses were too great.

Not to mention the Lesser Star Lords and Great Star Lords who died in battle, the key was the ninety-four Daoists among the one hundred and nine Ninth-Tier cultivators who died.

The probability of Daoists of the Dongxuan Dao Palace breaking through to the Tenth Tier and becoming Star Lords within ten years was only ten percent.

But the probability within twenty years was twenty percent, and the probability of breaking through to become a Tianyang Xingjun within forty years was as high as over forty percent.

In other words, at least fifty future Lesser Star Lords died prematurely.

Among these fifty future Lesser Star Lords, at least five or six Suppressing Star Lords would have appeared.

This loss...

"In this battle, thirty-nine enemies from the Jin Peng Star Realm who came to invade were finally left behind.

Among the thirty-nine, thirty-one were Lesser Star Lords, five were Great Star Lords, and three were Suppressing Star Lords."

Listening to the battle results, True Person Commander Tian Zhang's face didn't improve either.

Most of them were killed after he arrived; by comparison, the losses of the Dongxuan Star Realm were even greater.

But when he heard the final number of Suppressing Star Lords, his gaze was filled with joy.

"Slaying three Suppressing Star Lords, whose battle results were the other two? I remember I only slapped one to death casually?" True Person Commander Tian Zhang asked.

"Replying to the True Person, the other two Suppressing Star Lords were slain by Xu Jin, Zhang Huai, and two other Lesser Star Lords, with Xu Jin as the main force, working together.

In this battle, the four of them, especially Daoist Xu Jin, made great contributions!

If he hadn't stepped forward, the isolated island's teleportation array might have been destroyed, and we might have been completely wiped out this time!

However, the battle situation of one Imperial Tianyang Xingjun is unclear." Su Shize said.

"Oh? This is a great merit! Then you must calculate and report this military merit well!" True Person Commander Tian Zhang said.

【Father, what do you mean?】 Su Shize suddenly asked via voice transmission.

Hearing this, True Person Commander Tian Zhang glanced at Su Shize and said, "You let Xu Jin come over first, and ask clearly about the battle situation with that Imperial Tianyang Xingjun before talking."

"Yes."
