Chapter 998

Within the Chaos Abyss Domain.

True Person Zhenjun Duling looked at Xu Jin with a terrified expression.

He could never have dreamed that in the very instant they met, he, a dignified True Person of the Tenth Tribulation of Breaking Limits, would be captured alive.

The key is, if he had been captured alive by some Emperor, he would have accepted it.

But standing before him was a True Person of the Second Tribulation.

However, he found it hard to believe that he had been captured by a True Person of the Second Tribulation; he was more inclined to believe that an Emperor-level powerhouse was hiding in the shadows, using divine abilities and secret techniques to control and capture him.

Although the power of divine abilities and secret techniques is unpredictable, capturing a True Person of the Tenth Tribulation of Breaking Limits so easily is not something an ordinary Small Prohibition Emperor could accomplish.

Furthermore, the spatial aura here was incredibly unfamiliar; it was definitely not the Star Ruins Star Island he was familiar with.

In other words, it was highly likely to be a spatial domain opened up by an Emperor-level powerhouse himself.

In the cultivation world, anyone capable of opening up their own domain is a top-tier powerhouse.

"The one who captured me must be at least a Middle Prohibition Emperor, or perhaps even a Great Prohibition Emperor! So, what is the purpose of capturing me?"

"True Person Zhenjun Duling, right? I won't waste words with you. Do you want to die, or do you want to live?" Xu Jin was also direct and straightforward.

This person was only the first step in his expansion.

Of course, if this person did not cooperate, he would just have to find another target.

True Person Zhenjun Duling looked Xu Jin up and down, then suddenly sneered, "Who exactly are you?

Asking if I want to die or live?

Are you trying to control me?

Or do you want me to do something for you?"

Being able to cultivate to this level, his intellect was not only mature but also tempered through countless trials. In this situation, he naturally would not lose his composure due to panic; instead, he remained very rational.

"Simple. If you want to live, release your divine soul origin and let me do as I please. If you want to die, then I will send you on your way." Xu Jin did not mince words.

Hearing this, True Person Zhenjun Duling looked Xu Jin up and down a few times and said, "I want to live, but you are not qualified.

Let the Emperor behind you come out and talk to me!"

Xu Jin was stunned.

He was not qualified?

Was this person in front of him complaining that his status was insufficient?

Coldness appeared in his eyes, and Xu Jin wanted to release his restraints to let this True Person Zhenjun Duling see the truth.

But suddenly, his heart stirred, and he had an idea.

His strength was indeed strong enough.

According to his master, he already had the combat power to contend with a Small Prohibition Emperor, but in Xu Jin's view, if he unleashed his full power and added a few clever tricks, he could deal with not just a Small Prohibition Emperor, but even a Middle Prohibition Emperor.

But being able to deal with someone and having a deterrent effect are two different things.

Why are fortune-telling swindlers always portrayed as having an immortal air, and why does the older they look, the easier it is for people to believe they are experts?

Why does no one believe a young person pretending to be a high-ranking official, yet some believe it when they pretend to be a second-generation heir?

Similarly, no matter how powerful Xu Jin's combat strength was, his manifested cultivation aura was just like that.

Even if a cat possessed the combat power of a tiger, the first thing people would want to do upon seeing it is to pet it.

But if a tiger were weakened to only possess the strength of a cat, the first thing people would feel upon seeing it would always be fear and awe.

The principle of respecting the clothes before respecting the person holds true everywhere.

Moreover, what Xu Jin was pulling out this time was not just clothes, but a truly terrifying existence.

"Doing this might make my plan easier to succeed and reduce many potential troubles."

Upon making his decision, Xu Jin immediately contacted Emperor Kongyuan through the connection between the Chaos Abyss Domain and Emperor Kongyuan's Abyss Domain.

And he had already prepared his rhetoric.

Inside the Abyss Domain, Emperor Kongyuan looked at the other seven Emperors sitting cross-legged in all directions, his brows slightly furrowed.

Emperor-level powerhouses are all capable of enduring loneliness.

But the feeling of being trapped in a besieged city is truly uncomfortable.

Now, being sealed within the Abyss Domain is no different from being in prison. If it weren't for the fear of Emperor Dongxuan tracking him down and the belief that he should use the passage of time to reduce danger, Emperor Kongyuan would really want to try his methods to see if he could forcibly break the prohibition and escape.

Suddenly, Emperor Kongyuan received Xu Jin's telepathic message, and his brows immediately furrowed.

Xu Jin asked him to slightly reveal the aura of a Great Prohibition Peak Spatial Emperor. Xu Jin had now escaped to the Qingyu War Zone, but because he lacked an identity, he needed him, this Great Prohibition Peak Spatial Emperor, to reveal his aura to help him obtain an identity and a place to stay.

Just a single request made Emperor Kongyuan feel the miserable situation Xu Jin was currently in.

But thinking about it, it made sense. For a Star Sovereign to be hunted by an existence like Emperor Dongxuan, who was tracking his residual aura, any level of misery was possible.

Because the pursuit Xu Jin faced was not just from Emperor Dongxuan alone, but from Emperor Dongxuan and the entire Tongxuan War Zone; the pressure he faced could be imagined.

To be honest, being able to save his life under this level of pursuit, Xu Jin was already very outstanding.

Escaped to the Qingyu War Zone?

And then use his aura as a Great Prohibition Peak Spatial Emperor to obtain a temporary place to stay and save his life.

That could work.

Looking at the entire Star Ruins War Zone, the deterrent power of a Great Prohibition Peak Emperor is naturally top-tier.

Let alone True Person powerhouses, even those Small Prohibition Emperors could be deterred.

Being targeted by a Great Prohibition Peak Emperor, especially a Spatial Emperor, one would likely not even know when they died.

The feasibility was extremely high.

Emperor Kongyuan felt that he and Xu Jin were now in the same boat, and this little favor could be done.

He agreed immediately.

Under Xu Jin's deliberate control of the Chaos Abyss Domain, Emperor Kongyuan's aura as a Great Prohibition Peak Spatial Emperor reached out, instantly shrouding True Person Zhenjun Duling.

The moment it reached out, Emperor Kongyuan sensed the change in Xu Jin's aura.

He was a True Person now.

And a True Person of the Second Tribulation at that.

This kid's cultivation base is improving fast enough.

In his surprise, just as Emperor Kongyuan wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to sense and see the reality of Xu Jin's Chaos Abyss Domain, majestic Chaos Starlight arrived at the edge of the Chaos Abyss Domain, directly cutting off his aura.

"This kid is too cautious." Emperor Kongyuan frowned.

His original intention in agreeing was to take this opportunity to investigate a little, and see if he could take the opportunity to lay some countermeasures.

He didn't expect Xu Jin to be so cunning; his aura, which had shrouded that Breaking Limit True Person for less than a breath, was cut off.

Moreover, the aura he reached out with was wrapped and protected by Chaos Star Power the entire time, giving him absolutely no opportunity to use any tricks.

To be honest, if it were other types of Star Power, he would have many ways to break through this encirclement without anyone noticing, provided he paid a certain price.

But wrapped in Chaos Star Power, none of the special secret techniques of his divine sense could break through without being noticed.

He was truly curious about Chaos Star Power.

How did Xu Jin cultivate it?

"Many thanks!"

Just as Emperor Kongyuan wanted to say something more, Xu Jin only said two words, and his aura completely disappeared from within the Abyss Domain.

It left Emperor Kongyuan feeling helpless.

He felt like he had been pulled out, used once, and then discarded.

Unpleasant.

But also very helpless.

Being sealed within the Abyss Domain, comprehending the source flow of the Forbidden Domain was impossible, and cultivating Star Power was even more impossible.

Cultivating Star Power cultivation base at this time would only absorb the power of his own Abyss Domain.

His Abyss Domain was strong enough, but it could absolutely not support an Emperor's cultivation consumption.

As for the heavenly materials and earthly treasures used for cultivation within the Sumeru space, they could be used even less.

If they were exhausted and an unexpected accident occurred, what would he use?

Without any external income, using his savings gave him a feeling of sitting and eating away at his fortune.

There was no other way; he could only research and comprehend spatial rule Dao techniques and various secret techniques and divine abilities, including application skills.

This was also the only thing he and the many other Emperors could do at the moment.

You have to say, when he was the Grand Marshal of the Tongxuan War Zone, he was too busy, had too many things to do, and the things he could do were countless; he could only pick and choose what he wanted to do.

Like now, being able to calm his heart to research and comprehend was basically impossible.

Now it was fine; he could only do this one thing.

Under this focus, he had already gained some harvest.

The other seven Emperors were in a similar situation to him and could only do the same thing, though the results of their harvests were different.

But in the end, there was progress.

Within the Chaos Abyss Domain, True Person Zhenjun Duling, the guardian of Qingxu Star Island, had a face as pale as earth.

During those few breaths (Xu Jin used time acceleration) when he was shrouded by that Emperor-level powerhouse's aura, he vaguely felt a sense of absolute death and helplessness.

The aura of a Great Prohibition Peak Spatial Emperor.

The existence behind the person in front of him was actually a Great Prohibition Peak Spatial Emperor.

This was the most terrifying existence in the entire Star Ruins below the Emperor Venerable.

No wonder he, a True Person of the Tenth Tribulation of Breaking Limits, was captured here without the slightest power to resist.

No wonder there was such a mysterious domain space.

In just an instant, he made his decision.

Surrender!

He had no choice.

Because under the threat of a Great Prohibition Peak Spatial Emperor, in the entire Qingyu War Zone, only their Great Prohibition Peak Grand Marshal, or perhaps Emperor Venerable Qingyu, could possibly protect him.

But could these two protect him for a long time?
