Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1101: Chapter 439: The Secret Brought by the Star Spirit

Pursued by the Eighth Tier expert from the Golden Pillar Alien Race, Ju Xuan, ultimately escaping Ju Xuan, was all part of Xu Jin’s plan.

Since Ju Xuan entered the Seven Killings Palace, Xu Jin already knew that starting at the seventh level, Ju Xuan would definitely pursue him.

So, he had already conducted thorough reasoning and planning early on.

In the end, not only did he successfully shake off Ju Xuan, but he also set two traps for Ju Xuan in the process.

Don’t underestimate these two traps; they might be the key for Xu Jin to slay Ju Xuan.

Xu Jin carefully deduced that if Ju Xuan started chasing him, there was a chance he could counter-kill Ju Xuan.

For instance, his Earth Core Fire Rhythm and Heaven and Earth Earth Rhyme had amassed over sixty paths.

If used unexpectedly, there’s a probability of trapping and killing Ju Xuan.

But the probability isn’t high.

Maybe only thirty percent, or even less.

But Xu Jin didn’t want to gamble.

Because Xu Jin had a more reliable option.

Since the seventh level of the Seven Killings was to last for forty-nine days to determine the final result, within these forty-nine days, Xu Jin’s strength could significantly increase.

This is a highly certain matter.

With a certain choice, why gamble on luck?

After shaking off Ju Xuan, Xu Jin cautiously skimmed close to the ground, searching for a suitable place to cultivate secretly.

While flying, Xu Jin suddenly sensed an extremely powerful aura.

Eighth Tier!

And it was a Mid-tier expert’s aura, distinctly different from Ju Xuan’s current Early Period aura at the Eighth Tier.

Xu Jin instantly understood.

This should be the illusion of the Seven Kills True Monarch in his prime.

At forty, without confusion.

Just turned forty, or even under forty, his cultivation level broke through to the Eighth Tier, showcasing the Seven Kills True Monarch’s extraordinary talent.

From a distance, Xu Jin suddenly had an idea and approached.

The rules required enduring ten breaths under the attack of the Seven Kills True Monarch’s illusion.

Each person had up to three attempts.

Why not try once to see how powerful the Seven Kills True Monarch’s illusion is?

To make targeted arrangements in subsequent cultivation!

In the next moment, Xu Jin accelerated toward the Seven Kills True Monarch’s illusion!

Almost simultaneously, as the Seven Kills True Monarch’s illusion turned and stared at Xu Jin, starlight rained down from the sky.

In the instant the starlight descended, it coalesced into a Longsword of Starlight, slashing down at Xu Jin’s head!

As the sword light descended, it was like a starry sky, seemingly omnipresent, leaving Xu Jin nowhere to hide.

But as the sword light reached him, the myriad sword lights suddenly retracted as if returning to the starlight, merging into one and slashing down at Xu Jin’s head.

At the moment of the slash, Xu Jin’s feet touched the ground, and as the Fish Curtain Golden Bell was raised, he instantly activated the Earth Root.

But the sword light was supremely swift, like thunder and lightning.

The Earth Root had just been activated when the slash descended in an instant.

Puff!

The Fish Curtain Golden Bell, which Xu Jin took pride in, burst like a punctured balloon under the sword’s slash.

But the sword light dissipated more than half.

Star Skill Shifting Flower activated instantly!

Transferred away most of the sword light, and the remaining light was caught by Xu Jin’s Seven-Star Spirit Armor.

But in an instant, starlight fell again, like tides continuously slashing at Xu Jin, sword after sword.

Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar!

Instantly disappearing from the original place, in the blink of an eye after retreating over ten thousand meters, the Seven Kills True Monarch’s Illusion laughed and pursued Xu Jin with a slash.

Another sword came slashing down.

This time, Xu Jin was already well-prepared, stacking armor to the extreme.

Thunder Wing, Fish Curtain Golden Bell, Shifting Flower, Sky Gang Thunder Chain Shield, Seven-Star Spirit Armor!

On just the second sword, Xu Jin used the Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar again and dodged away.

Of course, Xu Jin could take the second sword, but the cost of doing so might be the explosion of the Seven-Star Spirit Armor; as it was just a test, it wasn’t necessary.

The time entered the third breath.

Once more, the sword light came across the void, and just as Xu Jin appeared, the sword light pursued and hacked down.

It seemed that as long as it was under the starry sky, from heaven to earth, everything was within the sword light’s reach.

This time, as Xu Jin stacked armor, he simultaneously used attack as defense.

Great Sun Starlight, Five Elements Divine Thunder, launched in sequence to weaken the sword light.

But no matter how hard Xu Jin tried, he couldn’t withstand three consecutive swords.

When the third sword fell, Xu Jin could only flee or die.

The time entered the fifth breath.

Still, during the third sword, Xu Jin was pushed to the brink.

To test his limits, Xu Jin used the Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar again.

But this time, when the sword light fell, something was slightly different.

Space trembled indistinctly from all directions.

Just as Xu Jin activated the Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar to disappear, he immediately fell back to his original position the next instant.

The Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar failed.

The sword light descended, directly shredding Xu Jin into starlight.

The Seven Kills True Monarch’s Illusion reaped his sword and retreated, smiling at Xu Jin, ”This Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar was created by me, does my disciple not realize?”

”My Sky Killing Sword specializes in countering such Star Skills.

Be careful in your next challenge.”

”Thank you... Master for your guidance!”

When Xu Jin said these words with cupped fists, he felt a bit awkward.

But after thinking about it, he had already learned two segments of his teachings, including the life-saving Divine Skill, Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar, so calling an illusion ’Master’ wasn’t that big a deal.

”There are still two attempts left, my disciple should do his best.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin cupped his hands and swiftly retreated.

The commotion just now was a bit significant; he wasn’t sure if it would attract Ju Xuan, so he had to be cautious.

This time, Xu Jin flew rapidly, covering a total of three two-hour periods, and combined with earlier flights, he was a full ten thousand miles away from the Seven Killings Palace but still hadn’t reached the boundary of the Seven Killings Secret Realm.
