Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1848: Chapter 774: Breaking Through to the Ninth Tier

”Indeed, they entered with the Daoist Embryo, what a pity, what a shame!” the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment said angrily.

”Rest assured, my lord, as long as there’s an opportunity, I will find a way to bring Xu Jin under my command, and then hand him over to you, so that you can skin him and light a lamp with his oil, to vent the grudge in your heart!” Ding Moqiu promised.

”Hmm, you’re considerate!

However, this boy has the Heavenly Order in his hand, dealing with him will require utmost caution to avoid bringing trouble upon ourselves.”

”The Heavenly Order is not almighty! There are many ways to deal with him if the right opportunity arises!” Ding Moqiu said.

”That’s true!

So, you and I will keep an eye out, and as soon as the right opportunity presents itself, we’ll make a move against this boy. This time, we must make no mistakes!” the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment said.

*****

On the night of September 10th.

As Xu Jin forged the final layer of the Earth Series Star Tower, he concluded his arduous cultivation.

Inwardly viewing, the nine Star Towers within his body stood tall, with dazzling starlight flashing incessantly.

The Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower reached a height of 108 layers, and the Space, Thunder Series, Wind Series, Gold Series, Wood Series, Water Series, Fire Series, and Earth Series sub-towers also reached 108 layers at this moment, refined by Xu Jin to their limits.

Thus, the Eighth Tier has already reached its extreme.

But Xu Jin still had seventy-three drops of All Heaven Star Dew.

Lately, it seemed as if wealth was pouring in.

Xu Jin obtained fifty drops from Ding Moqiu, and the Dongxuan Star Realm supplied another twenty-five drops of All Heaven Star Dew. Considering the previous leftovers, after cultivating to the Eighth Tier Peak, there should have only been fifty-seven drops left.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Linxiao had already sold the Yan Dao Pearl of Star Monarch level that Xu Jin had previously given him, and after deducting various expenses, he netted sixteen drops.

Now, the amount of All Heaven Star Dew in Xu Jin’s possession had surged to seventy-three drops.

Although this is still far from what Xu Jin needs for Ninth Tier cultivation, it’s a good start.

But now, the most important thing is breaking through to the Ninth Tier!

With all eight Star Towers refined to their peak limits, Xu Jin’s normal combat power hasn’t significantly increased, because his primary combat power comes from the Space and Thunder Series, which have long been maxed out.

However, the explosive power of Xu Jin’s eight-series fusion kill move has increased by nearly forty percent.

This forty percent increase is referenced from the power exerted during Xu Jin’s previous battle with Star Monarch An Tongchun.

In his battle with Star Monarch An Tongchun, Xu Jin only used the eight-star fusion explosion technique.

At the time of subduing Star Monarch An Tongchun, Xu Jin cleverly seized the initiative with the Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar and then used the Space Law Path and kill move Star Fragment and the Thunder Law Path in concert.

However, if he were to fight now, it would be far less troublesome; he could suppress and handle him directly using the eight-star fusion explosion technique.

If his enemies still evaluate him based on his previous explosive strength, they would likely suffer another huge loss!

Moreover, even if they overestimate Xu Jin’s power a bit, they’d still be at a great disadvantage.

Because Xu Jin is about to break through to the Ninth Tier.

After breaking through to the Ninth Tier, Xu Jin’s combat power will explosively increase again.

In the next instant, Xu Jin used Warm Dream to draw himself into sleep.

Although, for Xu Jin now, breaking through the Ninth Tier is a logical progression, he must still be well-prepared and not be careless.

In the path of cultivation, prudence and awe must be consistent!

Two hours later, Xu Jin awoke from the deepest slumber.

Opening his eyes, he felt mentally refreshed and replete with energy.

In the next instant, Xu Jin’s Divine Thought plunged into the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower is the core of Xu Jin’s cultivation level, so the breakthrough naturally had to start from it.

He casually activated a Space Origin Star Pattern on a certain layer of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, then stimulated the Daoist Embryo to directly channel the Lifebound Star Spirit’s Great World, and in an instant, a Star in the firmament shone a bit brighter.

In the Spirit Brilliance Great World, the Starlight Palace Group forged by Xu Jin shimmered with starlight, especially the space Star Palace, which was deliberately activated, glowing most brilliantly, with the starlight swaying downwards.

This starlight is not of the Star Power nature, but contains starlight embodying Tao Rules.

Under Xu Jin’s deliberate activation, this strand of starlight carrying the Space Tao Rules from the Spirit Brilliance Great World merged into the layer of Star Tower Xu Jin activated.

At the moment it fell in, Xu Jin immediately activated the Space Star Pattern with Star Power to fully refine this Space Tao Rules, refining this Tao Rules from the Lifebound Star into that layer of the Star Tower.

Fifteen minutes later, as the Space Tao Rules were refined into that layer of the Star Tower, the nine-cornered Star Tower within Xu Jin’s Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, came alive, its strength surged instantly, with its starlight becoming extremely brilliant.

Especially when contrasted with other layers of the Star Tower, this layer stood out like jade among stones!

Just by activating the power from this layer of the Star Tower, he simultaneously invoked the supportive power of the Lifebound Star.

It’s a pity there’s only one layer.

Later, when Xu Jin’s cultivation level reaches the Ninth Tier Peak and these Star Towers are all refined into various series of Tao Rules, a mere thought would instantly invoke the supportive power of the Lifebound Star, without having to purposefully activate the Daoist Embryo to channel the Lifebound Star’s power.

By then, the star skills executed will be naturally enhanced with the Lifebound Star’s power.

Only in some extremely critical battles requiring prior preparation would there be a need to fully activate the Daoist Embryo to channel the Lifebound Star.

Almost at the same instant Xu Jin completed the Tao Rules refining into this layer of the nine-cornered Star Tower, its strength altered completely.

Under potent Tao Rules suppression, the originally saturated Star Power was instantly compressed and liquefied, clearing out vast spaces, directly doubling the maximum capacity of Star Power.

In an instant, Star Power surged toward Xu Jin from all directions, forming a Star Power Vortex within the quiet room of Xu Jin’s Ritual Officer’s residence.

This was merely a minor phenomenon of the breakthrough.

The reason why Xu Jin’s breakthrough phenomenon was so small was mainly because Xu Jin was within this Great World of the Dongxuan Star Realm, and at this time was also in the Ninth-rank Star Gathering Array, where the Star Power Concentration was several times higher than when those in the Kunling Domain broke through.

It naturally wouldn’t cause such massive changes in the celestial phenomena.

Feeling the continuously increasing Star Power aura in his body, Xu Jin felt an indescribable sense of security.

From today onwards, his cultivation level can once again begin a rapid ascent.

At this moment, it’s suitable to strike while the iron is hot, to quickly elevate the cultivation level!

Upon this, while Xu Jin allowed the newly broken-through layer of Star Tower to autonomously absorb the Star Power from the Ninth-rank Star Gathering Array, his mind once again activated the Lifebound Star Spirit’s Great World, beginning to channel the Lifebound Star’s Tao Rules to strengthen the second layer of the Star Tower.

Simultaneously, Xu Jin also devoted a thread of his mind into the layer of the Star Tower that had just had Tao Rules refined into it, to observe and evaluate the rate and upper limit of Star Power growth post-breakthrough, as well as the speed of cultivation through various means, to quickly elevate his cultivation level and combat power!

This includes assessing the subsequent impact on his current explosive killer move, the eight-star fusion, and so forth!
