Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 520: Chapter 220 New Combined Star Skill_3

Xu Jin was evolving the Divine Soul Secret Technique in order to derive a powerful Divine Soul Attack Secret Skill, which would transform the blank Divine Soul Star into combat power.

Having carefully considered the reasons for the previous failures, Xu Jin felt it could be due to the conflict between Warm Dream and Shock and Fear.

Warm Dream enticed people into a dreamscape, while Shock and Fear triggered the deepest fears in a target’s heart.

It seemed there was a clash of properties.

Xu Jin had been fixated on using Warm Dream because it complemented Breaking Evil well in actual combat.

But now, according to the results of the previous two attempts at evolution, Warm Dream appeared to conflict with Shock and Fear, suggesting if Warm Dream were used, Shock and Fear could not be.

And if Shock and Fear were used, Warm Dream could not be.

Xu Jin estimated that if he decreased the number of Star Patterns used for the evolution, the potency might be reduced.

Three-Star Patterns weren’t very high in rank.

Many Third Tier and Fourth Tier Star Skills were Three-Star Patterns.

Yet, the current evolution function of the Fourth Tier Candou Platform could only accommodate four Star Patterns at most.

Upon reflection, Xu Jin removed the Clearing Soul Star Pattern.

According to Old Qi’s experience and research from the Lingji Star Hall, the Clearing Soul Star Pattern did not clash with any known Divine Soul secret techniques.

It was simply a very rare foundational Star Pattern.

With that the case, the Clearing Soul Star Pattern could be directly engraved.

Four Star Patterns, which to use for the evolution?

Xu Jin looked around; in his Upper Star Palace, he had engraved Clearing Soul, Guicang, Elephant Concealing, Warm Dream, Breaking Evil, Suppressing Intent, Intent Illusion, Controlling Objects, and Shock and Fear, totaling nine Star Patterns.

Among them, Clearing Soul was already excluded, and Suppressing Intent, being a Divine Soul Defense Star Pattern, could also be left out.

Guicang and Elephant Concealing were the Combined Star Skills for the Invisibility Technique, which, in Xu Jin’s understanding, could not participate in offensive capabilities.

So, Intent Illusion was all that remained for evolution.

However, Xu Jin hadn’t used Intent Illusion before because he believed that while Intent Illusion created mental illusions, Shock and Fear induced fear; didn’t they conflict?

One was to confuse, the other to startle.

They clashed and nullified each other.

He had never used it.

But now, Xu Jin was running out of options.

He’d attempt to treat a dead horse as if it were alive and see if the evolution would work. If it didn’t,

five days later, Xu Jin would only be able to use Breaking Evil and Warm Dream or Shock and Fear alone in combination, or alternatively, seek out other new Divine Soul Star Patterns.

In the next instant, Xu Jin, with a thought, sequentially selected Breaking Evil, Warm Dream, Intent Illusion, and Shock and Fear in the four Star Lamps.

[Evolution]

Eighty strands of Starlight disappeared in an instant, and the four Star Lamps immediately burst forth with dazzling Bright Starlight, swirling together.

This only lasted for 100 breaths; a brilliantly radiant Starlight then instantly appeared.

A Breaking Evil Arrow, emanating a hazy aura, shot out violently, and the eerie Divine Soul fluctuations spread out.

Simultaneously, the result of the evolution, akin to a stream of consciousness, including the sequence of how the Star Patterns should be used and the varying strengths of Divine Soul Power injection, flowed directly into Xu Jin’s mind.

In the next instant, Xu Jin was stunned!

It worked!

The least promising combination of Divine Soul Star Patterns had succeeded!

He just didn’t know about its potency.

In the next moment, Xu Jin, holding a Star-picking Order, charged into the God-Killing Battlefield!

Xu Jin had not fought in the God-Killing Battlefield much recently, but his ranking was still unsurpassed, remaining first.

Xu Jin chose to directly challenge the one hundred twenty-seventh level.

With the rapid pace of Xu Jin’s current strength, taking on the one hundred twenty-seventh level of the God-Killing Battlefield was effortlessly easy.

However, Xu Jin fought with specific targets in mind.

Dodging and weaving, he struck them down one by one.

After just a dozen breaths or so, he had dispatched all six of the ordinary Fourth Tier, Third Layer members of the Alien Race in level 127.

Only the Fourth Tier, Third Layer Elite of the Alien Race remained.

In the next instant, Xu Jin took a brief moment, and the newly evolved Divine Soul Combined Secret Technique burst forth.

A direct hit.

The moment it connected, the Fourth Tier, Third Layer Elite Alien’s usual composure was suddenly shattered as it stood frozen as if trapped in a dream, its expression swiftly contorting into one of extreme terror and fierceness, with the terror intensifying.

This horrified expression lasted for a full three breaths.

After three breaths, the Fourth Tier, Third Layer Elite of the Alien Race abruptly snapped out of it, and just as Xu Jin was about to deliver the finishing blow, the Alien Elite let out a piercing scream and turned to flee.

Utter collapse!

Xu Jin was taken aback.

The potency of this newly evolved Combined Star Skill was formidable indeed!
