the tribulation’s energy was absorbed, yet the space heavenly essence within it remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin’s powerful Nascent Soul and Chaos Sword Heart sensed this essence the instant it appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, he drew the essence into his body and directed it into the Space Star Tower, aiding its fusion with the Star Core to elevate his cultivation ceiling and law suppression limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But an anomaly emerged in that very moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the space essence could enter his body, a flash of chaotic starlight surged over Xu Jin’s flesh, directly blocking the essence from entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space essence could not enter his body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Fenghua and Empress Du Yue, observing from afar with their spiritual senses, also looked astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Jin frowned, the space fundamental tribulation continued to strike—again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tribulation’s power was effortlessly absorbed and used to refine the Sacred Artifact, but the space fundamental essence within it remained blocked outside his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, all the essence hovered just beyond his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had already sensed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Great Chaos Spirit Body was blocking the space fundamental essence from entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the owner of this body, Xu Jin understood the reason instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was fundamental essence—its entry would disrupt the balance of the Great Chaos Spirit Body, so the flesh instinctively resisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Xu Jin’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The solution was not difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Force it in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was merely the Great Chaos Spirit Body’s instinctive resistance—but Xu Jin was still the master of this body; if he willed it, the space fundamental essence could be forcibly driven inside, refined into the Star Tower and Star Core, completing his attainment of True Person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the cost would be damage to the Great Chaos Spirit Body—but such damage could be restored with time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alternatively, he could extract the Space Star Tower from his body and complete the initial fusion of essence and tower externally, which might also allow him to attain True Person smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, such an anomaly during his own True Person breakthrough was something Xu Jin had never anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as Xu Jin pondered, his master Fenghua Emperor’s voice echoed directly into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jin'er, I have observed your situation—it is precisely what I expected.

The difficulty should pose no problem for you, and your body might even gain benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What I am uncertain about is that no one has ever tried this method before—I deduced it from experience alone. Whether other consequences exist, I cannot say!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I am not you—you must decide based on your own sensations and inner intuition!\" said Fenghua Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having an elder in the family truly is like having a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had never expected his master Fenghua Emperor to offer a third option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he heard it, he wanted to choose the third.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he followed Fenghua Emperor’s advice and carefully sensed his body, while activating the Tiger Response Divine Whip to test its reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiger Response Divine Whip responded indifferently—utterly bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, when it came to cosmic laws, it could not offer guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third option it is—it doesn’t seem dangerous at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant he made his decision, Xu Jin’s Nascent Soul glowed with shifting light; all eight Sacred Artifacts burst from his body simultaneously, each resonating with one fundamental rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on prior experience, eight distinct elemental heavenly tribulations should have descended, each absorbed by one Sacred Artifact, then all eight essences drawn into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment the eight elemental forces were activated, Xu Jin’s Chaos Sword Heart sensed something first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the eight elemental tribulations merged into one—transforming into a single, far more violent and immense Chaos Fundamental Tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, the Chaos Star Tower within Xu Jin’s body blazed with brilliant starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1198,"2026-06-19T23:56:35.933Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b86704ff20950cd05018ebfcc78ac3b93507c97d4cf21e575026704ce02be902","the-star-martial-era-chapter-993","the-star-martial-era-chapter-991",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-star-martial-era-cover.jpg"]
