Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1071: Chapter 428: Thunder Based Divine Dao True Intent_2

In other words, this particular advantage makes Hou Ziang from the Wood Spirit Palace unique.

Both Hou Ziang and Du Wei instinctively ignored Heavenly Saint Qi.

Although Heavenly Saint Qi had demonstrated the Thunder Star Skill, it was only a Fifth Tier Third Layer.

It could be said that among the ten registered disciples, besides Dong Zhao and Ju Xuan, everyone else regarded Xu Jin as nothing but air, just a foil!

Hou Ziang instinctively ignored Xu Jin.

Due to the unique advantage of sensing the Thunder Origin Star Pattern, Hou Ziang and Du Wei agreed that Hou Ziang would first collect a Thunder-related Divine Dao True Intent.

This guaranteed income would be enough to account to their master.

Du Wei would pursue the Wood-related Divine Dao True Intent; if he could seize it, he would, if not, he would first observe, lock onto the target, then wait for Hou Ziang to join him to jointly contend for the Wood-related Divine Dao True Intent.

Their plan was virtually flawless!

But right from the start, Hou Ziang discovered Heavenly Saint Qi was a nuisance.

Previously, it was surprising enough that Heavenly Saint Qi, under the joint attack of two Seventh Tier members of the Sumeru Palace, managed to enter the Seven Killings Palace.

But without witnessing it firsthand, Hou Ziang instinctively felt that Heavenly Saint Qi either used a clever trick or had the sacrificial cooperation of a disciple from Dachen.

After all, breaking into the Seven Killings Palace was not a face-to-face confrontation.

How strong could Heavenly Saint Qi be?

Though he was aware, it was mere awareness.

But now, when Hou Ziang truly encountered Xu Jin, he was utterly shocked.

Damn it, is this still a Fifth Tier Third Layer?

Even an ordinary Eighth Tier might not necessarily be faster.

But this Fifth Tier Third Layer started just a tad faster than him, and now, it was far ahead.

Hou Ziang was anxious.

Pushing his Thunder Origin Star Pattern and Thunder Image Star Pattern to their limits still couldn’t change the fact that he was being significantly outpaced.

He was almost at the point of self-destructing his Star Tower to speed up.

It’s certain under the current circumstances that Heavenly Saint Qi would absolutely find the Thunder-related Divine Dao True Intent before him.

However, despite his anxiety, Hou Ziang could remain calm.

The main point is that arriving first doesn’t guarantee acquiring the Thunder-related Divine Dao True Intent.

In the previous fourth stage, the target was the phantom of the young Seven Kills True Monarch, presumably evolved from his strength in his early twenties.

Cultivation Level was late Sixth Tier.

Even for him, slaying it required some effort.

It wasn’t easy.

Now, the target was the phantom of the Seven Kills True Monarch at his peak strength.

Hou Ziang speculated that this sixth stage phantom was at least a Seventh Tier Early Stage, possibly even a middle of the Seventh Tier.

Such a phantom, even for a genius like Hou Ziang, would require his utmost effort, all his tricks, and perhaps even risking his life to slay.

So, though Heavenly Saint Qi rushed ahead with his Fifth Tier Third Layer, it was pointless.

In the end, it would still be his gain.

This was Hou Ziang’s assessment, or perhaps just wishful thinking.

It was also his most precise opportunity to seize the Thunder-related Divine Dao True Intent.

Moreover, he sensed that the Thunder-related Divine Dao True Intent wasn’t far.

By then, Heavenly Saint Qi might only be ahead by a few breaths of time.

Can he take down the phantom of Seventh Tier Seven Kills True Monarch in just a few breaths?

Impossible!

Then for Fifth Tier Third Layer Heavenly Saint Qi, it’s also impossible!

As for the heavy treasures bestowed by Cheng Yuxiao, the State Preceptor of Dachen?

Also impossible!

Anything that bursts above the seventh tier is extremely rare, even if there is, it would only unleash Seventh Tier Early Stage power.

As for Ninth Tier heritage treasures, there are only a few, it’s impossible.

Based on these assessments, although Hou Ziang was chasing Xu Jin fervently from behind, he was not worried at all.

Deep down, he still believed that the Thunder-related Divine Dao True Intent was his.

Time flowed forward.

Xu Jin flew at high speed for thirteen breaths using a fivefold Flowing Flashes, during which he supplemented his Star Power once with the Candou Platform, and in an instant, he saw the phantom of the Seven Kills True Monarch at his peak, lying across a giant stone.

Compared to the young phantom, the Seven Kills True Monarch phantom at his peak had a touch of maturity.

A sideways glance at Xu Jin was all it took; upon spotting him, a sword light instantly soared through the sky, slashing towards Xu Jin.

As Xu Jin twisted, attempting to evade the terrifying sword light,

the sword light suddenly exploded, splitting into hundreds of purple Thunder Lights, striking towards Xu Jin.

Even with Xu Jin’s mysterious Willow Catkins Body Skill, he only avoided one-third of the Thunder Lights, then was showered by hundreds of purple Thunder Lights.

The Fish Curtain Golden Bell on his body surface vibrated violently in that instant.

His Thunder Wings retracted swiftly, enduring the strike.

Simultaneously, Xu Jin’s attack struck back.

In the instant when the Earth God Thunder and Bing Fire Divine Thunder bombarded together, five-colored Thunder Light began to gather in Xu Jin’s palm.

In the next moment, Xu Jin advanced again, using the Earth Elemental Magnet to slightly restrict the Seven Kills True Monarch phantom’s speed, as the Five Elements Divine Thunder instantly struck out.

With the coordination of the Earth Elemental Magnet, it hit its target instantly.

The five-colored Thunder Light cascaded down, stripping a layer from the Seven Kills True Monarch phantom’s Thunder Light, severely damaging the Body Protective Starlight, but not breaking it.

Nor did he find any Seven-Star Spirit Armor for protection.

Just from this attack, Xu Jin roughly assessed.

Without the Five Elements Divine Thunder, it would be very difficult to directly slay this Seven Kills True Monarch phantom head-on.
