Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1549: Chapter 632: Rooting Out Evil

Xu Jin and several Ninth-Tier members split up to act, spending more than two hours to guide all the elite human armies deep within the Eight Desolate Continent.

The most tragic was the Tianyang Star Hall’s Pengri Army, with nearly half of its forces killed.

If it were an ordinary army instead of one composed entirely of cultivators, the morale would’ve collapsed long ago.

Moreover, the losses on other sides were not small either.

Both the Dachen and Cangming Star Hall, as well as the Doom-suppressing Star Palace, had many casualties.

Of course, the human side did achieve some merits.

Before the Ninth-Tier intervened in combat, the elite human army was actually prevailing, and reaped considerable gains.

However, when the Ninth-Tier fell into a disadvantage, and after a portion of the Eighth-Tier and Seventh-Tier perished, the losses became severe.

With the high-end combat power of the Eight Desolate Alien Race unchecked, it inflicted substantial casualties on the elite human forces.

Simultaneously, the death of top-tier combatants was the greatest loss this time.

On the Dachen side, due to Xu Jin’s timely rescue, one Eighth-Tier was killed, two severely wounded, and three Seventh-Tier were killed.

On Tianyang Star Hall’s side, three Eighth-Tier were killed, along with eight Seventh-Tier, suffering the most severe losses.

Cangming Star Hall had two Eighth-Tier and seven Seventh-Tier fatalities, while Doom-suppressing Star Palace had one Eighth-Tier killed, and two severely injured, eight Seventh-Tier were killed.

But the most tragic of all was the Sumeru Palace.

Sumeru Palace Master Luo Xian died on the spot, his soul destroyed, and not even his flesh was retrieved.

Simultaneously, Sumeru Palace also lost two Eighth-Tier and five Seventh-Tier during the struggle involving the Palace Master, losing more than half of its elites.

Adding to it, over twenty thousand elite troops from all sides of the human race perished, making the damage extremely severe.

Without the achievements of Territory King Xu Jin, this battle would not only be costly but also a disastrous defeat!

It might even be a turning point of tragic defeat for the human race’s position.

Yet, Territory King Xu Jin appeared at a critical moment and slew four Ninth-Tier opponents.

Apart from emotions and losses, just the slaughter of these four Ninth-Tier alone equaled the damage to the elite human forces.

Theoretically, the ultimate result of this battle, despite severe losses, was also a grim victory.

And because it was merely a grim victory, the forces withdrew from the Galaxy Battlefield for recuperation.

At each passage fortress, defensive arrays have already been raised, guarding tightly.

Half a month.

At least half a month, the Galaxy Battlefield will entirely shift to a defensive state.

The reason is simple: those severely injured Eighth-Tier, Seventh-Tier, and Sixth-Tier elites need time to recover.

Especially those top-tier Eighth-Tier warriors, such as Dachen Commander Mao Yue, and Dahong Commander Xiahou Shen, who were also severely injured.

The recovery of these Eighth-Tier injuries is essential.

On the way of escorting various troops back, except for Tianyang Star Lord, the Ninth-Tier from the current era have already regrouped and reached this consensus.

”National Master, I want to kill that bastard Tianyang Star Lord.” During the process of receiving the troops back, Xu Jin suddenly used Divine Soul Transmission to the National Master Cheng Yuxiao, saying, ”This bastard fled at the critical moment, only because I am proficient in Space Star Technique. If it were someone else rescuing him, they would definitely be trapped to death by him.”

Not far away, the National Master Cheng Yuxiao, who received Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Transmission, showed a difficult expression.

”Xu Jin, emotionally, I support you, honestly, I want to kill that bastard Tianyang Star Lord more than you do! This bastard is so bad, he picks benefits but often plays tricks and reserves his strength.

If it were at any other time, I would support you, and would even go with you to encircle that bastard.

But at this moment, if Tianyang Star Lord is killed,

the ones to suffer hardships would only be the entire human race at present.

You know the true cause of Dahong Emperor’s death. Dahong Empire is already unstable internally; if Tianyang Star Lord is killed now, then the collapse of Dahong Empire is right in front of us.

If it were another time, other nations would naturally divide Dahong, and our Dachen would benefit a lot.

But at this moment, it’s truly not the time to kill Tianyang Star Lord.” Cheng Yuxiao tried to persuade Xu Jin as much as possible from a bigger picture standpoint.

”National Master, I understand, rest assured, I won’t act recklessly.”

Understanding the National Master’s difficulties and the current situation, Xu Jin couldn’t possibly misunderstand.

But still... so infuriating!

Xu Jin has already made up his mind, when the opportunity arises, to certainly slay Tianyang Star Lord, to rid the human race of this scourge, too selfish.

While pondering, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on the face of National Master Cheng Yuxiao, ”Well, that rascal is too cunning, maybe out of fear of you, or truly severely injured.

He just sent us a message that he has returned to Star Hall for secluded cultivation to recover his injuries, claiming he needs three months!

For now, he asked us to hold on.

The war affairs of Tianyang Star Hall are temporarily handed to Xiahou Shen and Great Elder Wang Kan.”

Xu Jin instantly understood the National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s meaning.

In the current era, the Tianyang Star Hall, Cangming Star Hall, Doom-suppressing Star Palace, Lingji Star Hall, including Sumeru Palace and Wood Spirit Palace, these six ancient inheritances, why they persist till now, is because of the star hall locations.

Their star hall or sect locations can theoretically be considered a Ninth-Tier small-world star domain.

Heaven and Earth Authority is entirely under their control.

Just like the Seven Killings Star Domain, Xu Jin is the God of Seven Killings Star Domain.

They are also gods of the star domains where their star halls are located.

The reason why they could only seal floors and lock halls after killing Lingji Star Hall, in the end, was because of the inherent limitations.

When Lingji Star Hall’s Sima Qu retreated into the Lingji Star Domain where Lingji Star Hall was located, even with Tianyang Star Lord and Cangming Star Lord joining forces, backed by seven or eight Eighth-Tiers from both halls, none dared to pursue inside.

Tianyang Star Lord and Cangming Star Lord themselves are controllers of the star hall star domains, naturally aware of the terror within.

The final result could only be sealing floors and locking halls.

Now, Tianyang Star Lord has retreated to the Tianyang Star Domain where Tianyang Star Hall is located. Whether truly recovering injuries or fearing Xu Jin’s reckoning, he cannot be dealt with in the short term.

With Heaven and Earth Authority in control, whoever enters becomes Tianyang Star Lord’s dish, even if it’s Xu Jin.

This is actually the fundamental reason why Dachen is coveted by various parties.

With such star hall star domains, once their endurance holds, there’s completely a chance for resurgence.

Dachen, without it, is constantly targeted by Cangming Star Hall and Tianyang Star Hall.

”It’s alright, no need to rush. During this period, if we can finish off the Galaxy Battlefield war, there’s no hurry to slowly deal with Tianyang Star Lord later.

He absolutely cannot turtle within the Tianyang Star Domain for a lifetime.

I can guarantee that when the war draws to a close and it’s time for benefits harvesting, Tianyang Star Lord will definitely be the first to rush out.

```

”When the time comes, there will definitely be a chance to deal with him,” said National Master Cheng Yuexiao.

One can only say that the Tianyang Star Lord is indeed a cunning old fox, immediately retreating to the star domain where the Star Hall is located.

In this situation, even if Xu Jin disregards the overall situation, he still can’t deal with him.

However, Xu Jin is not in a hurry.

As the National Master said, there will eventually be a chance to deal with him.

The elite troops on the Galaxy Battlefield are all in a state of utmost vigilance, but this state does not include Xu Jin.

Soon after returning to Guard City No. 13, Xu Jin took out the Primordial Spirit of Jin Bo, the Ninth Tier of the alien race captured earlier.

Without much small talk, under Jin Bo’s terrified gaze, Xu Jin reached out his palm and activated Warm Dream on the Primordial Spirit.

Interrogation!

Usually, the sealing restrictions on the Primordial Spirits of Ninth Tier experts become increasingly fewer; this is not just about strength but also involves the dignity of Ninth Tier experts.

So it was safe to conduct the interrogation.

Most of the time, aside from inheritance techniques and a few secrets potentially touching on taboos, other inquiries would be unhindered.

For example, intelligence about the Eight Desolate Continent.

The King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, certainly can’t be idle enough to impose related prohibitions on Ninth Tier experts periodically.

Ninth Tier experts aren’t dogs after all.

Moreover, the likelihood of a Ninth Tier expert being captured alive is very low.

With this prize, Jin Bo’s tongue was indeed caught right.

A series of interrogations clarified many situations.

Such as the current pressing question among the Ninth Tiers: Where did the Nine Ninth Tiers on the Eight Desolate Continent come from?

Understanding having a few more Ninth Tiers is plausible, but four or five more, where did they come from?

This inquiry revealed everything.

First, the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, initiated a Grand Sacrifice to the Ancestor God, paying an unknown price, directly summoning one Late Ninth Tier and one Middle Ninth Tier from the Ancestor Realm.

Simultaneously, the Divine Dao True Intent brought by these summoned experts enabled two Eighth Tier Peak experts in the Royal Court of Eight Desolates to break through to the Ninth Tier.

This made up five Ninth Tiers.

This granted the Royal Court of Eight Desolates absolute superiority over the Blood God Sect and the Baidou Divine Sect.

The reason for this was to counter the threats posed by the Blood God Sect and the Baidou Divine Sect.

Two months ago, the Blood God Sect revealed nine, including the Ninth Tier discovered by Xu Jin in the Great Wilderness Domain.

The Baidou Divine Sect also brought out one Ninth Tier.

Thus, forming nine Ninth Tiers and subsequently leading to this battle.

This battle was also set according to the grand plan formulated by the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, after fully consulting the two human sect leaders of the Blood God Sect and Baidou Divine Sect.

This made Xu Jin and Cheng Yuexiao extremely furious.

This time, the stratagem was too cunning.

Even they were entrapped step by step, ultimately falling into the trap.

Having these two old foxes who are intimately knowledgeable about the human race plan the setup, the resulting outcome was unsurprising.

Besides, the details surrounding the Top-grade Nine-star Spiritual Treasure in Ju Zhang’s possession, which emanates a terrifying aura, were clarified.

The Top-grade Nine-star Spiritual Treasure Golden Snake Bomb, power infinitely close to a Tenth Rank Suppression Artifact, is said to be a treasure used by Golden Shuo True Monarch in the past.

Xu Jin extracted many such pieces of intelligence.

Essentially, the Ninth Tier expert Jin Bo within the Royal Court of Eight Desolates had very few secrets unknown.

He inadvertently also revealed another long-term plan targeting Xu Jin, the successor of Seven Killings.

That is, Ju Qi, Ju Man, and Qing Shu among the alien race controlled by Xu Jin, had long been discovered by Ju Zhang.

Currently, these individuals are gathered in one place, patiently baiting the big fish, quietly waiting for the successor of Seven Killings to take the hook.

This intelligence gave Xu Jin quite a scare.

Honestly, if returning to the Eight Desolate Continent, he indeed had ideas of using these pieces.

However, knowing this intelligence now, things are different.

Perhaps he could turn the scheme against itself.

After the interrogation, Xu Jin did not rush to kill Jin Bo but handed him over to National Master Cheng Yuexiao for him to interrogate and obtain desired intelligence.

Finally ending after two hours.

With a thunderous blast, Xu Jin casually took out the Sumeru Space.

The harvest wasn’t plentiful: two Eighth-order Purification Pearls, over ten Seventh-order Purification Pearls, two Seventh-order Spiritual Medicines, and about two hundred Seventh-order Star Jade.

No surprises.

Originally, something like a Seven-star Spiritual Treasure could be scraped off the corpse.

Unfortunately, Xu Jin’s Five Elements Thunderbolt Slash was too domineering, directly shattering the Seven-star Spiritual Armor.

Overall, the harvest from this battle was still good.

Only the Ninth Tier Star Core yielded over sixty.

From the Ninth Tier Golden Horn of the Golden Pillar Clan, two were obtained, along with parts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

If it were before, it would be a huge acquisition.

But for the current Xu Jin, it’s no longer significant.

”National Master, I’m preparing to head over once,” Xu Jin suddenly said.

”What for?”

”To eliminate the evil thoroughly!” Xu Jin said.

”The Blood God Sect Leader?”

”Other people, I also want to try.”

”Your strength may be remarkable, but be cautious at all times, do not become overconfident!”

”National Master, rest assured!”

In the next moment, Xu Jin directly activated a temporary star gate within the Star-picking Tower Branch, stepping out in an instant.

The purpose of this strike is not only to eliminate the evil thoroughly; it is also to plan the most crucial step for Xu Jin to break through to the Seventh Tier!
