Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1041: Chapter 416: The Power of the Spirit Platform and the Divine Dao True Intent

In the Seven Killings Secret Realm, as other battlefields ended, more and more starlight descended.

Xu Jin also saw more familiar faces.

The first to appear was Ning Yuchan.

It wasn’t surprising for Xu Jin to see Ning Yuchan, as her battle prowess and talent were also top-notch.

Unfortunately, Ning Yuchan was quite a distance away from Xu Jin, making it impossible to communicate through Divine Soul Transmission.

Almost at the same time Xu Jin noticed Ning Yuchan, her gaze also found him, and she waved at Xu Jin.

Xu Jin, while waving, suddenly put his finger to his lips, and under Ning Yuchan’s puzzled gaze, Xu Jin pointed at his head.

Ning Yuchan tilted her head and thought for two breaths, then suddenly extended two fingers towards Xu Jin.

From Xu Jin’s perspective from his past life, this was a ”yeah” gesture!

But Xu Jin understood that Ning Yuchan was telling him that she had comprehended the Second Layer of the Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar.

This was a bit of mutual understanding, and Xu Jin smiled and nodded fervently.

Comprehending the Second Layer of the Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar meant that Ning Yuchan had obtained two life-saving opportunities, significantly increasing her safety.

If there’s a chance later, Xu Jin still needed to tell Ning Yuchan that if her life-saving opportunities ran out, she should give up immediately.

Just from the third challenge, Xu Jin already felt it was extremely perilous.

The main act should still be ahead.

In other words, the danger was still ahead.

Again, several streaks of starlight fell, and Xu Jin’s eyes moved as he saw Ji Hongli, and standing in mid-air through Sword Control, Ying Ge!

That Ji Hongli passed the third challenge was expected, but for Ying Ge to pass, it required a bit of luck.

Fortunately, Ji Hongli and Ying Ge were not far away, so Divine Soul Transmission was possible.

”Yu’er, to which layer did you comprehend the Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar?”

”Senior Brother, I’ve comprehended up to the Second Layer.”

”That’s good, did you use any life-saving chances?” Xu Jin asked.

”Not yet.”

”In the following checkpoints, if you’ve used up your life-saving chances, stop immediately; don’t continue.” Xu Jin instructed.

”Got it, Senior Brother! Thank you, Senior Brother.” Ji Hongli looked at Xu Jin, her eyes full of smiles, readily agreeing.

Xu Jin was taken aback.

He was prepared to explain the reasons, yet Ji Hongli agreed without a word.

The prepared reasons, including Ju Xuan of the Eighth Tier, and others, were not needed at all.

This made Xu Jin feel emotional.

He once saw a phrase on Zhihu in his previous life, stating that one mark of a good woman is obedience.

Unexpectedly, he encountered it here.

”I can’t get a message to Yuchan, can you also tell her?” Xu Jin said.

”Sure, Senior Brother, I’ll tell Sister Yuchan right away.”

Having instructed Ji Hongli and Ning Yuchan, Ying Ge also needed attention.

Upon asking, Ying Ge had only comprehended the First Layer of the Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar, just short of the Second Layer, thus he only got one life-saving chance.

Xu Jin gave some instructions.

Xu Jin, as the senior brother, held significant weight with Ying Ge.

Ying Ge did not ask more questions and agreed immediately.

After more than a dozen breaths, when dozens more streaks of starlight fell, the starlight reappeared in the sky.

[The Seven Killings Third Challenge, All Living Beings Kill, has ended, Passers: 210 people.]

Looking at this number, all passers showed solemn expressions.

The elimination rate was too high.

The third challenge directly eliminated more than 80%.

In the next moment, starlight appeared again.

[The Seven Killings Fourth Challenge is about to begin]

[The seventh kill’s fourth challenge is the Heart Demon Kill. Testers passing through will enter the Seven Killings Fifth Challenge, also entering the true assessment stage of the Seven Killings Inheritance.]

[Within 100 breaths, step onto the starlight path before you. Those who succeed, pass through, and enter the Fifth Challenge.]

As the starlight quickly emerged, the starlight in the sky had become a countdown.

The Seven Killings Fourth Challenge, Heart Demon Kill, had already begun.

Xu Jin did not rush to step in.

Heart Demon Kill, just from the name, sounded somewhat like the Heart Demon Gatekeeper of the Star-picking Secret Realm.

Could it be about defeating one’s heart demon?

If indeed it was, the stronger the person, the stronger their heart demon, and the greater the difficulty.

However, Xu Jin did not think it was about challenging the heart demon.

Xu Jin believed that this fourth challenge was most likely related to Divine Soul Cultivation.

The first three challenges tested fate, comprehension, and combat power, so the fourth challenge was likely testing Divine Soul Cultivation.

”Be careful; the fourth challenge is most likely related to the divine soul,” Xu Jin transmitted to Ji Hongli, Ying Ge, Dong Zhao, and Liu Qingzhu, giving them all a heads-up.

In the next instant, Xu Jin sank his mind into the Upper Star Palace, activating the Concentration Star Pattern of the Divine Soul Defense. As a Suppressing Intent Tablet shone brilliantly in Xu Jin’s mind, he stepped forward onto the starlight path before him.

The next moment, the starlight before his eyes changed.

Xu Jin suddenly found himself over a vast blue sea. The moment he landed, barely setting foot on starlight, a massive beast surged from the sea, snapping at Xu Jin. As Xu Jin rapidly fled, a large flock of Thunderhawks descended from the sky, bombarding Xu Jin with lightning.

Xu Jin activated his defenses, barely managing to withstand the lightning, but in the next instant, an even larger Thunderhawk dove like lightning, striking Xu Jin once more.

This immense Thunderhawk’s lightning was twice as thick as the previous ones, its power reaching the extreme.

Xu Jin’s multiple layers of defense couldn’t withstand it.

Not only was the Sky Gang Thunder Chain Escape shattered, but even the Fish Curtain Golden Bell was destroyed.

Brushed by a bolt of lightning, a third of Xu Jin’s body was charred black, and immense pain attacked him.

Xu Jin was terrified.

Was this Heart Demon Kill truly this terrifying?
