Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 249: Chapter 132: Breakthrough (Asking for Monthly Votes, Third Release)

August 12 in the morning, Fire Oak Tribe.

At this moment, within the Fire Oak Tribe, the atmosphere was quite tense.

The reason was simple; two hours earlier, Chief Chi Shuo of the Fire Oak Tribe had received an alert from the Royal Court. An invader from Dachen was heading towards their tribe and was about to arrive.

At the same time, their King, Chi You, also made a suggestion: The Dachen thieves are extremely cunning. He advised Chi Shuo to gather the tribe’s elites and go all out in an ambush. Moreover, Lord of Red Scale, Chi You, also informed them that he had dispatched reinforcements, led by the General Chi Dian from the Royal Court, and they were expected to arrive in four hours.

Upon receiving this message, Chi Shuo immediately ordered the entire tribe to be on alert and gathered the elite members of the tribe.

Apart from himself, who was in the Seventh Layer of the Star Refining Realm, there were also two in the Sixth Layer, five in the Fifth Layer, eight in the Fourth Layer, and twenty-nine in the Early Period of Star Refining Realm.

Among the five major tribes, their Fire Oak Tribe was relatively strong.

But at this moment, Chi Shuo also had his worries.

At this time, with the Royal Court sending an army over, could there be ulterior motives?

The reason was simple: it was public knowledge that the King’s Divine Soul was controlled by Dachen.

By betraying Dachen, in three months when the Star Gate was restored, Dachen would definitely not let the King off.

Thus, before the restoration of the Star Gate, the King would undoubtedly support Prince Chi Meng to ascend the throne.

But before supporting Prince Chi Meng to ascend, would the King clear the path for the Prince?

This was what Chi Shuo worried about.

Such things had been happening continuously in the Fire Radiant Star Domain for thousands of years.

Just as a new Beast King would definitely eliminate all the old Beast King’s offspring.

However, they had no choice but to deal with Dachen’s enemy.

”Chi Fu, Chi Cang, each of you lead twenty members of the Star Refining Realm and patrol non-stop within the tribe. If you spot the enemy, report immediately. Also, if the Royal Court’s army arrives, notify me immediately,” Chi Shuo ordered.

”Yes!”

Immediately, Chi Shuo’s two subordinates of the Sixth Layer of Star Refining Realm, along with the elites, initiated a patrol of the whole tribe.

Originally, Chi Shuo was to gather forces, but now, that was no longer necessary.

He just sat in the main hall of the tribe, and even though there were four guards in the Early and Middle Period of Star Refining Realm at the door, a nameless unease still lingered in his heart.

An indescribable sense of danger hovered in his mind.

But he couldn’t pinpoint where the danger was coming from.

The anxious Chi Shuo could only associate this instinctive sense of danger with Chi You clearing obstacles for Prince Chi Meng.

While Chi Shuo was pacing uneasily in circles within their tribe’s main hall, under the shadow of a column directly across from the main hall, Xu Jin was sitting cross-legged, silently observing the hall.

Previously, while at Jinshan Taoist Institute, Xu Jin had tried the level of the Invisibility Star Skill.

By simultaneously activating Clear Soul, Guicang, and Elephant Concealing, these three significant Star Patterns, and then activating the basic Star Skill, Star Mist, one could achieve invisibility, even during the day.

The strength of the invisibility effect depended on the strength of the Divine Soul Power.

At previous tests in Jinshan Taoist Institute, instructors of Star Refining Realm, even within ten meters, couldn’t sense him at all, while Ning Yuchan, with at least the Ninth Layer of Star Condensation, needed to be within twenty meters to notice his presence.

At that time, Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Star was merely in the Fourth Layer of Star Refining Realm.

Now, Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Star had reached the Sixth Layer.

So, after arriving at the Fire Oak Tribe, Xu Jin performed the Invisibility Technique and walked boldly into the Fire Oak Tribe.

Now, fifteen minutes had passed.

He not only heard the exchanges and arrangements of Chi Shuo and his people but had also located the tribe’s treasury.

Xu Jin was now contemplating whether he should capture the king first.

The chief of the Fire Oak Tribe, Chi Shuo himself, was in the Seventh Layer of Star Refining Realm, but at his doorstep, there were only four Star Refining Realm guards. One was in the Fourth Layer while the rest were in the Second and Third Layers.

Not a significant threat.

However, the other two patrolling teams were a threat.

After thinking it over, Xu Jin didn’t rush to act but instead closely observed the two teams guarding the tribe’s safety from a distance.

The entire Fire Oak Tribe’s station wasn’t large, about five kilometers in length and three kilometers in width.

At a normal walking pace, a patrol round took about 15 minutes.

minutes later, Xu Jin had calculated the timing and distance when the two patrol teams were about 100 breaths away from the main hall’s entrance, approximately at their farthest distance from the main hall. Xu Jin suddenly made his move.

He activated the Rapid Electric Star Pattern, performed the Flying Star Step, and suddenly, a sonic boom sounded.

The four Star Refining Realm guards at the door hadn’t yet realized what had happened when they saw a blurred figure flash by.

Almost instantaneously, Xu Jin appeared in front of the chief of the Fire Oak Tribe, Chi Shuo.

He threw a punch instantly.

Chi Shuo, worthy of being the chief of the tribe, activated his Body Protective Starlight in the instant he heard the sonic boom, instinctively punching towards the blurred image of Xu Jin appearing in front of him.

Flames entwined around his fist!

Fire Fist against Iron Fist!

Star Radiance violently burst forth!

Chi Shuo’s eyes widened in shock.

He saw that with just one punch from the attacker, his Fire Fist, including his fist and arm, were directly blown into mush!

The next instant, he let out a muffled grunt and retreated like lightning.

But Xu Jin, like a shadow attached to the form, charged ahead and threw another punch.

Another punch infused with 30% of Star Power!

One punch punched through Chi Shuo’s chest, directly blasting his heart.

As blood splattered, the four Star Refining Realm guards rushed over, roaring in anger.
