Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 988: Chapter 396: Regicide

[After ten breaths, you can act according to the circumstances.]

After receiving the Starlight Transmission from the National Master Cheng Yuexiao, Xu Jin took a deep breath and instantly entered the state of inner vision.

In the Star Palace, more than one hundred and sixty strands of Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm had accumulated, yet Xu Jin did not use them to form a thunder pool.

All preparations were for today!

In the Earth Elephant Star Pattern, more than thirty strands of Earth Core Earth Charm were also accumulated.

It’s Xu Jin’s confidence for survival.

His mind swept all the way from the Upper Star Palace, Divine Soul and Star Power all at their peak states.

”Success or failure depends on tonight!”

Xu Jin knew very well that tonight would be an important turning point in his life and fate.

In the words of his previous life, if successful, a gentle paradise; if failed, a fugitive life.

In the next moment, with a breath slowly exhaled by Xu Jin, his overwhelming Divine Soul Thought Power spread like silent spring rain.

Warm Dream!

Outside the other courtyard, the middle-aged eunuch guarding Xu Jin, at the late Sixth Tier, was the first to fall asleep, while the other four eunuchs, upon discovering their leader asleep on the ground, felt as if their eyelids were weighed down by a thousand catties, and in the next instant, all fell into a deep sleep.

With a gesture, Star Power stretched out like vines, moving five living people into the courtyard room.

These five will not awaken for an hour, but the Imperial Guard patrolling the palace remains constant, and this small oversight must not affect Xu Jin’s grand mission.

In the next split second, Xu Jin’s figure vanished into thin air, and then moved at an unhurried pace toward the location of the Foolish Emperor.

At this time, only ten breaths had just passed.

*****

Meteor-like radiance suddenly shot up from the National Taoist Institute, greeting two meteor-like rays from afar.

Behind the two, there were also two immense meteor auras, slightly slower.

These were ordinary Eighth Tier experts from the two palaces.

In the next instant, the laughter of National Master Cheng Yuexiao echoed across the entire Wanyi City.

”Two Palace Masters, arriving uninvited and without notice, are certainly unwelcome guests!”

”Master Cheng, even unwelcome guests are still guests!”

During the talk, the Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei and the Sumeru Palace Master Luo Xian appeared in unison above Wanyi.

Their four Eighth Tier disciples remained stationed far behind to support.

With the Great Chen Star Tower main building present and Cheng Yuexiao on the scene, they dared not charge recklessly.

*****

Almost simultaneously, within the Star Patrol Camp, Great Governor Pei Ze, while playing a game of chess with the old Ritual Officer, glanced towards the sky above Wanyi, suddenly dropped a chess piece into the chess basket, stood with rising momentum and laughed, ”Old supervisor, with foreign invaders arriving, allow me to join the National Master in repelling these intruders and then return for another game with the old Ritual Officer!”

”Great Governor, hold on!”

The old Ritual Officer suddenly extended a palm, pressing on Great Governor Pei Ze’s shoulder, causing a surge of immense Star Power, and the old Ritual Officer’s hunched frame straightened abruptly as he emitted a glittering starlight akin to a deity, with an eighty-four-layered star tower phantom appearing behind him.

In an instant, the old Ritual Officer pushed the Star Power to the utmost.

The star tower was vast, and under the old Ritual Officer’s palm pressure, Great Governor Pei Ze slowly bent.

”Old Ritual Officer, what is your intention!”

On Pei Ze’s battle armor, starlight suddenly ignited without wind, sparkling brightly, and a star tower phantom appeared behind him, resisting the full pressure of the old Ritual Officer without yielding.

Amidst the Star Power’s turbulence, within the entire main military hall, except for the chess boards and chairs beside the two, all structures were turned to dust.

At the same time, across the entire Star Patrol Camp, swords and blades were drawn, Star Power surged, and hundreds of elite Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Tier Star Patrol Guards swiftly enclosed the area.

”Great Governor, His Majesty has issued an order!

Play three rounds!

Within the three rounds of play.

Neither the Great Governor nor the Star Patrol Guards are to step out of the Star Patrol Camp!”

As they spoke, the old Ritual Officer tossed the Imperial Gold Order of the Qian’an Emperor into the sky, where it glimmered with golden light and authority under the stimulation of Star Power!

Great Governor Pei Ze, looking at the old Ritual Officer, then at the two terrifying Eighth Tier Peak aura already above Wanyi, and once more at the direction of the Imperial Palace.

”Old Ritual Officer, is the imperial order truly genuine?”

”It is indeed genuine!”

”Must it be executed?”

”It must be executed!”

”Very well!”

In the next instant, Great Governor Pei Ze retracted the star tower behind him, sat down again, and with a wave of his hand, the Star Patrol Guards dispersed.

”Since the imperial order exists, then we shall play three rounds today!”

”Great Governor, please!”

The old Ritual Officer sat again, retracting the star tower into his body, as Great Governor Pei Ze once more picked up a chess piece from the chess basket.

*****

Above Wanyi, two meteors descended from the north, as one meteor shot up from within the city.

”For uninvited guests, I have thunderous means to greet you!”

National Master Cheng Yuexiao instantly soared into the sky, and as he ascended, the Nine Bright Chime appeared.

Boom!

A sound likened to grand bells and drums suddenly resonated through the night sky over Wanyi, as a terrifying four-color meteor abruptly struck the light transformed by the Sumeru Palace Master.

Upon witnessing Cheng Yuexiao fully activating the National Guardian Tao Artifact, the Sumeru Palace instinctively wished to dodge.

Yet at that very moment, the Nine Bright Chime rang thrice in succession!

Two waves fluctuated, causing the charging Sumeru Palace Master and Wood Spirit Palace Master to immediately feel trapped as if in a swamp, their actions slowed by a moment.

At the toll of the third bell, the Great Chen Star Tower’s main building suddenly radiated brilliantly, starlight dazzling to its utmost, illuminating the entire Wanyi Country as though daytime, and a torrent-like starlight flashed towards the Wood Spirit Palace Master!

Boom!

The Wood Spirit Palace Master, swift as lightning, seemed pursued and relentlessly dodged this torrent of Star Power.
