Chapter 1375: Chapter 550: Nihility
The Ninth Rank Thunder Origin Star Pattern slowly revolved within Xu Jin’s Cloud Tower Star Core, condensing into streaks of Thunder Light, eventually forming a leaping arc of purple-black Thunder Light.
At this moment, Xu Jin gained a moment of insight.
Thunderbolt Slash.
Thunder Light like a blade, incomparably swift.
In the next instant, Xu Jin vanished, and with another blink he was already within the cloud layers of a desolate mountain 700 miles away.
Boom!
Boom!
One after another, streaks of Thunder Light continuously blasted out; Xu Jin activated the Mingji Star Pattern, sensing the changes in his Thunder Series Star Skill.
Constantly familiarizing himself with this newly realized Star Skill.
The speed of Thunderbolt Slash was slightly faster than the Five Elements Divine Thunder.
The key difference is that the Five Elements Divine Thunder actually has a trajectory.
As long as it strikes down, a streak of Thunder Light in the void can still be somewhat predicted.
However, the moment Thunderbolt Slash is unleashed and strikes, where it will slash in the next instant, only Xu Jin knows at the moment of action. This is just the first advantage.
The second advantage of Thunderbolt Slash is that its attack range is far greater than the Five Elements Divine Thunder.
The attack range of the Five Elements Divine Thunder is only around Xu Jin’s vicinity, spanning about 500 meters.
However, the attack range of Thunderbolt Slash, at its maximum, can reach Xu Jin’s sensing limit.
Now, it aligns with the power of the Mingji Star Pattern.
The sensing range of the Mingji Star Pattern is now 5000 meters, hence Thunderbolt Slash’s maximum attack range is ten miles.
Nonetheless, there is a flaw as the distance increases, the power continuously diminishes.
Within a kilometer range, the power is strongest.
Beyond a kilometer, the further, the weaker the power.
The third advantage of Thunderbolt Slash is its ability for close combat.
It can directly be used as a defensive measure, when needed, a wave of the hand can unleash it.
Moreover, its power can be overlapped with the previous Five Elements Divine Thunder.
As long as the Five Elements Divine Thunder is activated and condensed into Thunderbolt Slash, it becomes Five Elements Thunderbolt Slash.
Xu Jin briefly tested within the cloud layers; the power of his Five Elements Divine Thunder, after the Thunder Origin Star Pattern broke through to the ninth tier, sounded terrifying but the actual power only increased by one-tenth.
It didn’t change much.
Xu Jin also understood the reason behind it.
Others use the Ninth-Order Star Pattern to break through the Ninth Tier, so their combat power significantly increases.
But Xu Jin’s current cultivation level is still at the Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak, only the Star Pattern evolved to the ninth tier, so an increase in power by one-tenth is quite normal.
In comparison, the Five Elements Thunderbolt Slash’s destructive power is slightly stronger.
Compared to before, its destructive power increased by about twenty percent.
Including the speed of Thunder Escape and other Thunder Series Star Skills, they all increased by about one-tenth.
Yet compared to the formidable strength of Xu Jin’s enemies, it’s still far from enough.
A few breaths later, Xu Jin returned to his hidden location and continued cultivating after ensuring safety through Heavenly Person Sensing and the Eyes of Overlook.
This time, Xu Jin activated the Earth Based Divine Truth he obtained from the Seven Killings Star Domain.
Among the Divine Dao True Intents Xu Jin currently possesses, there is also one Earth-based and one Space-based, both acquired from the Baidou Divine Sect feel attributeless, but Xu Jin is not in a hurry to use them.
In Xu Jin’s Can Dou Platform of Law Stars, the Earth Series Law Star is the strongest, having reached the limit of limits, sensing it’s only a step away from transformation, lacking just one element to transform.
Using Earth Based Divine Truth to induce it for enlightenment of Earth Origin Star Pattern certainly enhances efficiency.
Of course, more crucially, Xu Jin wants to strengthen his defenses or even see if pushing the Earth Origin Star Pattern to the ninth tier can help him derive powerful defensive Star Skills.
Fish Curtain Golden Bell, this set of Star Skills researched by Xu Jin himself, has been used for a long time, considered invincible in defense within the same tier.
But when faced with current enemies, it always feels a bit insufficient.
Therefore, he wants to give it a try.
Even if he does not derive a more powerful defensive Star Skill, if the Earth Origin Star Pattern breaks through to the ninth tier, it can still slightly enhance the Fish Curtain Golden Bell’s defense.
In the next instant, Xu Jin activated the Candou Lamp Domain; at the moment when the seven Law Stars enveloped him, the Earth Based Divine Truth instantly entwined with the Earth Series Law Star, simultaneously activating the Earth Origin Star Pattern.
In a flash, intricate changes began to evolve and emerge in Xu Jin’s mind, the Earth Origin Star Pattern on the eighth tier sprouted like a seed, beginning to germinate.
This enlightenment and evolution lasted for full sixteen two-hour periods.
Close to a day and a half.
In this day and a half, Xu Jin successfully evolved the Earth Origin Star Pattern from eighth-tier upper to the ninth-tier lower.
However, this Earth Based Divine Truth still has twenty percent remaining.
Instead of using this residual twenty percent Earth Based Divine Truth for enlightening the Elephant Star Pattern, Xu Jin kept it aside.
Mainly because, during enlightenment, Xu Jin discovered another thing; using the Divine Dao True Intent to evoke Law Stars, this Divine Dao True Intent can induce not only Earth Series Law Stars but also other Law Stars.
This reminded Xu Jin of the Elder Jutang of the Jinju Alien Race, who used the Water and Fire Star Mass to lock space, with such power that it could shake space, large-scale and lasting at least ten breaths.
Extremely powerful.
Could he also deduce a compound Star Skill?
The power of a compound Star Skill is surely a bit stronger.
If the power of Five Elements Thunderbolt Slash merely increases by one-tenth, it’s already considerable.
It’s just that Xu Jin currently lacks enough accumulation, wanting to gather more first, at least wait until possessing multiple Ninth-Order Star Patterns before attempting to use this remaining Divine Dao True Intent to deduce compound Star Skills.
Of course, Xu Jin’s most straightforward thought is that for deducing compound Star Patterns, at least it requires two Ninth-Order Star Patterns as the foundation.
Currently, there are only Earth Origin Star Pattern and Thunder Origin Star Pattern.
The combination of Earth Series and Thunder Series forces, Xu Jin instinctively feels it’s unlikely.
Xu Jin did not rush to engrave the ninth-tier lower Earth Origin Star Pattern but first looked at several messages from the Mandarin Duck Seal.
Mentor Qi Shanye and Uncle Mo Ji sent him messages.
With just one glance, Xu Jin showed a strange, bitter smile.
It can only be said, both mentors play really well.
Yet their bond is indeed true!
Lifelong brothers, together till death!
At least they have accomplished this now.
But speaking bluntly, Xu Jin feels Uncle Mo Ji indeed did the right thing.
If Uncle Mo Ji escaped alone, he would be safe, but the risk faced by Mentor Qi Shanye would increase tenfold, all pressure would be on Mentor Qi Shanye.
```
If something happens to Qi Shanye, then the knot in Mo Ji’s heart will never be untied in this life.
If Mo Ji, who is his uncle, does not escape, and his Divine Soul is controlled by the Ninth Layer Chief of the Blood God Sect, then Qi Shanye might suffer from inner turmoil for a lifetime.
Xu Jin does not have confidence in killing the Ninth Layer Chief of the Blood God Sect.
The experts of the Blood God Sect are extremely troublesome.
The sect hierarch of the Blood God Sect must have the Blood Dripping Divine Pattern, and his Thousand Star Token must be high-tier; who knows what secret treasures will be there.
Now, it’s resolved, all these problems have been solved.
Xu Jin’s target is still only the Left Protector, Fan Kai.
Although the return of the Ninth Layer sect hierarch of the Blood God Sect increases the difficulty for Xu Jin to kill Left Protector Fan Kai.
Opportunities can always be found in the end.
The Ninth Layer sect hierarch of the Blood God Sect cannot be by Fan Kai’s side at all times.
The next moment, once safety was confirmed, Xu Jin began engraving the Under Ninth Layer Earth Origin Star Pattern.
Last time when Ju Zhang found and surrounded Xu Jin without any warning, it implanted a Heart Demon within Xu Jin.
Now, Xu Jin confirms his safety state every two or three hours.
Of course, Xu Jin will not continue like this all the time.
Persist for a few days, then gradually decrease the frequency, reducing continuously.
However, Xu Jin has already decided in his heart that as long as he is still on the Eight Wastelands Continent for a day, every day hereafter he will operate the Star Skill, Heavenly Person Sensing, at least once for divination.
A few breaths later, Xu Jin appeared again under the clouds, seven hundred miles away.
Starlight flashed, and a series of falling stars, or rather, starlight formed from the Earth Series continuously bombarded down!
Earth Element Star Skill Thousand Mountains!
Considered an enhanced version of Falling Stars, quite useful for sieging.
Originally, Xu Jin was somewhat disappointed.
This Thousand Mountains Star Skill felt a bit useless, but after trying it, Xu Jin mined its usage based on its characteristics.
It can defend!
Especially against the kind of terrifying attacks from experts.
The reason is simple: Once the Thousand Mountains Star Skill is activated, it continues a linear bombardment!
As long as there is Star Power within Xu Jin, as long as Xu Jin continues to drive it, this Star Skill will continuously bombard out.
This is what is meant by Thousand Mountains!
If Xu Jin’s Golden Bell that was severely injured by Ju Zhang’s one strike earlier had this Thousand Mountains as a backup, Xu Jin’s pressure would be greatly reduced.
Theoretically, as long as Xu Jin’s Star Power does not run dry, he could withstand Ju Zhang’s lethal Gold Horn and Golden Light attack.
Then, the turning point came where the Candou Platform’s starlight’s fast recovery of Star Power feature could be harnessed.
The practicality of this Star Skill immediately stood out.
While sieging, this feature is extremely useful.
After a quarter of an hour, Xu Jin began to cultivate hard again.
This time, however, it drove an extremely rare Space-based Divine Dao True Intent.
Naturally, Xu Jin used it to gain insight into the Space Origin Star Pattern.
The power of Space Star Techniques is very strong, more bizarre, and more practical.
This enlightenment lasted for a day and a half.
When Xu Jin’s Space-based Divine Dao True Intent was consumed to one-tenth, the Space Origin Star Pattern under the Ninth Tier was completely perfected.
Just like before, after spending time on enhancement, Xu Jin began to research the newly acquired Star Skill.
The newly acquired Space Star Skill is somewhat bizarre.
When casting, a specific area’s space within Xu Jin’s Mingji Star Pattern sensing radius directly disappears.
When it disappears, the materials within the space can also directly collapse.
The further the distance, the weaker the power.
Xu Jin discovered this during the trial process.
At a kilometer in front, he cast this space transmutation Star Skill, causing about a three-meter radius of rock to directly disappear.
It really just vanished into thin air.
Presumably, it dissipated into a space crevice or another space.
At a distance of four kilometers, it could only cause half a meter of space to directly transmute, and the consumption of Divine Soul Power and Star Power directly doubled.
After trying it a few times, Xu Jin liked this Star Skill.
It could attack, defend, and was extremely bizarre.
Very practical.
Ultimately, Xu Jin named it Nihility!
Space Star Skill: Nihility.
After an hour, Xu Jin returned to his secluded cultivation spot and took out a Divine Dao True Intent from the Baidou Divine Sect.
He still hadn’t decided which Source Type Star Pattern to use it on.
Although he had two Divine Dao True Intents, one must be reserved for the State Preceptor’s breakthrough.
Thus, Xu Jin can only use one.
When Xu Jin had deduced the First Rank Thunder Origin Star Pattern to under the Ninth Tier, he considered passing it to the State Preceptor, or recording it using the Star Jade to give to him.
However, not only could the Mandarin Duck Seal not transmit Star Patterns, but even the Seventh Tier Star Jade couldn’t bear the Ninth Rank Star Pattern.
Having anticipated this, Xu Jin decided to reserve a Divine Dao True Intent for the State Preceptor.
After much consideration, Xu Jin placed this Divine Dao True Intent back.
The rank of Star Patterns is only part of one’s strength.
Star Power Cultivation is also one of the most important strengths for a cultivator.
Previously, in the Limit Breaking Secret Realm, Xu Jin didn’t refine another Cloud Tower because he wanted to forge a Nine-cornered Cloud Tower.
Now, he could refine a new Nine-cornered Cloud Tower.
And he has ample pure pearls.
Theoretically, every new layer of Cloud Tower that Xu Jin condensed and forged could enhance his strength by half to even one-tenth.
Moreover, the three new Star Skills he recently learned consume a lot of Star Power, especially Thousand Mountains!
The next moment, Xu Jin began to enhance the Star Pattern, preparing to forge the first Nine-cornered Cloud Tower of his life!
