Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1964: Chapter 837: Star Binding Star Monarch

It’s still the kind of starlight dazzling across the sky with special effects.

In the moment when the starlight dazzled across the sky, the originally vanished gift from the World Origin reappeared.

But this time, the World Gift that appeared was different from before.

The previous World’s Gift had a light and ethereal aura, while the currently appearing World Gift, although also being Acquired Thunder Essence, contained a very rich imprint of the Kunling Domain’s aura.

This is the unique origin aura imprint belonging to the Kunling Domain.

It is also the unique World’s Gift belonging to the Kunling Domain.

In an instant, a large amount of Acquired Thunder Essence reappeared and poured into National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s body.

The aura emitted from National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s body visibly grew stronger.

During absorption, Cheng Yuxiao’s aura faintly carried a few imprints of Kunling Domain.

Seventy-eight strands.

The amount of Acquired Thunder Essence appearing this time reached seventy-eight strands, which was even more than the amount he gained when he broke through before.

Strand after strand of Acquired Thunder Essence, carrying the imprint of Kunling Domain’s aura, continuously merged into Cheng Yuxiao’s body. As Cheng Yuxiao’s aura continuously evolved, a Thunder Pearl with postnatal spirituality had already formed inside his Star Tower and was spinning rapidly.

As it rotated, part of the Star Power within National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s Star Tower had transformed into Postnatal Thunder Slaughter Star Power due to the transformation of this Postnatal Thunder Essence Source Pearl.

Its Star Power’s might was far stronger than the previous ordinary Thunder Series Star Power.

”So that’s how it is...”

Through the sensing of Heaven and Earth Authority, Xu Jin, who was observing this process, completely understood the normal and special ways of breaking through to the Tenth Rank.

Breaking through to the Tenth Rank, the normal way was the method National Master Cheng Yuxiao first used; obtaining the World’s Gift related to one’s enlightenment of Law Path.

The special breakthrough method is also called the Star-bound breakthrough.

Usually, Star-bound breakthroughs are used by those who cannot break through for a long time, when oneself or others have control of more than thirty percent of Heaven and Earth Authority from and below, one can activate Heaven and Earth Authority’s assistance, receiving origin blessing to break through to the Tenth Rank.

But this kind of breakthrough has many limitations.

Star-bound breaker, Star Binding Star Monarch.

Somewhat like Earth-bound spirits.

Because the World’s Gift obtained during the breakthrough contains the origin aura imprint of the Star Domain at the time of breakthrough, once one leaves the range of the Star Domain, the Postnatal Star Essence Source Pearl formed within will lose its effectiveness, and combat power will greatly decrease.

Conversely, this kind of Star Binding Star Monarch can easily invoke World Origin blessing in their native Star Domain, causing Star Skill power to surge by one to several times.

The more Heaven and Earth Authority blessed during the breakthrough, the greater this increase.

Adopting this breakthrough method basically means binding one’s entire future life within the Kunling Domain.

Originally, Cheng Yuxiao was breaking through normally, but the day before breakthrough, he came to find Xu Jin, requesting a Star-bound breakthrough to become a Star Binding Star Monarch.

As for how Cheng Yuxiao knew?

Very simple, previously Xu Jin recorded everything he knew including the many legacies of Star Monarch and True Monarch, and left them in Jade Scrolls in the Star Dome Holy Hall, which National Master Cheng Yuxiao saw.

At first, Xu Jin was opposed.

Because it meant binding the National Master’s future life to the Kunling Domain, which was too limiting, and once leaving the Kunling Domain, combat power would drop significantly.

But Cheng Yuxiao insisted.

The Star Binding Star Monarch has drawbacks, but also huge benefits.

It enhances combat power greatly in their native land.

Originally, with Cheng Yuxiao’s level to evolve and suppress five Law Paths, within three months after breakthrough, cultivation level could reach Great Star Monarch.

With Cheng Yuxiao’s Lifebound Suppressing Artifact and various strengths, at Great Star Monarch, he should be able to easily defeat Star Monarch and barely resist the Star Monarch.

But after becoming Star Binding Star Monarch, especially achieving Star Binding Star Monarch under seven-and-a-half Heaven and Earth Authority blessing, combat power increases by at least seventy percent.

At that time, with the power of Great Star Monarch, Cheng Yuxiao could slay Star Monarch and defeat Star Monarch.

A year later, when Cheng Yuxiao’s cultivation level rises to Star Monarch, he could slay Star Monarch and, borrowing Heaven and Earth Authority, could resist Initial-stage True Monarch.

In another three to five years, the Kunling Domain truly has the power to protect itself.

In a way, Cheng Yuxiao sacrificed part of his future to protect the Kunling Domain.

But Cheng Yuxiao’s words to Xu Jin then were simple and still linger in his ears.

[Holy Venerable, years ago, I had already planned to die in the Kunling Domain with cultivation level at the Ninth Tier, but now, because of Holy Venerable and many reasons, the Kunling Domain has grown into a Middle World, and even has the potential to continue growing facing endless dangers.

Previously when Holy Venerable faced enemies, I felt ashamed, only watching Holy Venerable handle groups of enemies alone, risking life and limb, while I was helpless.

Now making this Star Binding Star Monarch, lets my strength surge, letting me have the qualification to guard the Kunling Domain for Holy Venerable.

This is my honor.

This is also my wish.

I am willing to be the Star Binding Star Monarch, guarding the Kunling Domain, watching it grow, watching those juniors surpass me, which should be a very happy thing.

Please, Holy Venerable, consent.]

Thereafter, Xu Jin naturally agreed.

He also held National Master Cheng Yuxiao in greater respect.

In some way, Cheng Yuxiao becoming Star Binding Star Monarch solved Xu Jin’s worries.

Because in a year or two, Cheng Yuxiao’s cultivation level would certainly break through to Star Monarch, then Xu Jin could grant more Heaven and Earth Authority without fear even if Initial-stage True Monarch comes.

Thus this scene emerged.

Of course, Cheng Yuxiao becoming the Kunling Domain’s Star Binding Star Monarch with such huge combat power increase mainly because of Xu Jin’s ample control of Heaven and Earth Authority and Cheng Yuxiao’s willingness to sacrifice.

Seven-and-a-half.

Other Star Realms wanting to do this won’t gain much.

Moreover, the number of such Star Binding Star Monarchs is extremely limited.

A Small World can only have one, a Middle World can have two or three, depending on the amount of Heaven and Earth Authority.

In the void, around National Master Cheng Yuxiao, all starlight was withdrawn, and as joy appeared in his eyes, he looked towards the crowd, instantly appearing in front of them as starlight flashed.

He had completed the breakthrough.

”Congratulations National Master on breaking through to the Tenth Rank.”

”Congratulations Great Elder on achieving Tenth Rank Star Monarch!”

....

Sounds of congratulations filled the air, yet Cheng Yuxiao arrived before Xu Jin, bowing deeply, ”Subordinate thanks the Holy Venerable for making it possible.”

”National Master, please rise.”

The moment Xu Jin hurriedly helped Great Elder Cheng Yuxiao up, he asked again, ”National Master, this Postnatal Thunder Essence Source Pearl, is it perhaps cast as Super Rank?”

”Indeed it is Super Rank!”

With a motion of divine thought, as Cheng Yuxiao’s Star Tower shot out, the Postnatal Thunder Essence Source Pearl was already presented before everyone.

Fist-sized, with tightly packed thunder essence inside, like a Small World, and at this moment, his Star Power had mostly transformed into Postnatal Thunder Slaughter.

Moreover, it was the kind of Super Rank Postnatal Thunder Slaughter Star Power with extremely strong evil qi.

Every cultivator, upon breaking through to the Tenth Rank, can condense a corresponding Postnatal Star Essence Source Pearl.

The weakest generally formed by about ten strands of Postnatal Star Essence results in a low-grade Postnatal Star Essence Source Pearl, though these are relatively common.

Above that is the middle-grade Postnatal Star Essence Source Pearl.

Usually formed by more than thirty strands of Postnatal Star Essence.

Many elite families’ legacy talents tend to form middle-grade Postnatal Star Essence Source Pearls.

Above that, formed by fifty strands is a top-grade Postnatal Star Essence Source Pearl, seventy strands is Top-Grade, and exceeding ninety strands, called Super Rank.

However, this Postnatal Star Essence Source Pearl can grow.

After breakthrough, every time new Law Path suppression and evolution occurs, a small amount of Postnatal Star Essence is gained.

But it’s slightly less than the World’s Gift during breakthrough.

Generally, low-grade and middle-grade are common, nearing top-grade and top-grade are found rarely, Top-Grade is extremely rare.

As for Super Rank, it is rarely seen in centuries.

The reason why National Master Cheng Yuxiao was able to condense a Super Rank Postnatal Thunder Essence Source Pearl was mainly because he became a Star Binding Star Monarch, otherwise, it would just be top-grade.

This was still due to the results of the Lifebound Spiritual Treasure forged from Chaos Elemental Materials support.

Now, National Master Cheng Yuxiao successfully broke through, paving the way for more subsequent breakthroughs to the Tenth Rank.

By this point, Xu Jin was completely assured about Kunling Domain.

Externally guarded by Great Senior Brother True Monarch Lei Bian, internally suppressed by Star Binding Star Monarch Cheng Yuxiao, safety was guaranteed.

Upon proper arrangement, Xu Jin could let go and delve into the Imperial Palace’s Saint Heir selection, seeking his own path to Dao enlightenment!
