Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1385: Chapter 554: Successor of Seven Kills (Part 2)

The moment Ju Zhang heard these words, his nose tingled, and he had an urge to cry.

He tried to explain for a long time, but his father didn’t believe him. It wasn’t until he took out a broken wooden sword that his father finally believed him.

[Father, who is Seven Kills?]

[Do you still remember the fracture on the Holy Ancestor’s golden horn?]

[I remember?]

[The Holy Ancestor told us about his legendary experiences. It was over two thousand years ago, during his life-and-death tribulation.]

[The one who cut off his golden horn was Seven Kills,] the Golden Shuo True Monarch said.

[Father, did the Holy Ancestor eventually seek revenge? Did he ultimately defeat this Seven Kills?] Ju Zhang asked curiously.

The Golden Shuo True Monarch did not answer Ju Zhang’s question, but instead said, [Zhang’er, the opportunity for our lineage has arrived.]

Upon hearing this, Ju Zhang was delighted, [Please enlighten me, Father.]

[If we slay the successor of Seven Kills, obtain his head, and then bring the ironwood sword infused with Seven Kills’ aura, our lineage will have a great chance to take over the Golden Horn Holy Palace.]

Ju Zhang was instantly aware of the significance.

Contending for the Golden Horn Holy Palace had always been a matter of open and covert competition for his father and the uncles.

Once in, that person becomes the Clan Leader of the Golden Pillar Saint Clan, someone of significant influence in the entire Galaxy.

[Father, I understand what to do now.]

[Are you confident about the third attempt seven days later?]

[Rest assured, Father, I will give it my all,] Ju Zhang promised.

[That is just your attitude, but what I want is a 100% result, do you understand?] the Golden Shuo True Monarch sighed, [This matter is crucial. Let’s do this; write detailed reports of your last two battles for me,

Then also write the plan for your third battle, and I’ll give you some advice, aiming to defeat the successor of Seven Kills on the third attempt,] the Golden Shuo True Monarch said.

[Thank you, Father.]

Inside Blood Moon City of the Blood God Sect, the Sect Hierarch was enveloped in a shroud of blood, standing alongside Left Protector Fan Kai, overlooking Blood Moon City below.

After spending seven or eight days returning, the Sect Hierarch not only grasped all the situations of the Blood God Sect but also organized its power, personally walking around the Eight Desolate Continent to understand its situation clearly.

"Old Fan, do you have any ideas about the future development of the Blood God Sect?"

Fan Kai had been an old subordinate of the Sect Hierarch and maintained a close personal relationship in private.

When he was the Left Protector, Fan Kai had thought a lot about this issue, had many ideas, and even tried implementing some.

But ultimately, he was defeated by reality, leading to new insights.

"Hierarch, you integrating us into the Royal Court of Eight Desolates, using the power of the Eight Desolate Alien Race to grow strong, also gained us territory, which is a masterstroke, giving our Blood God Sect land and an army.

However, after one or two years of development on the Eight Desolate Continent, I’ve found a very serious issue." Left Protector Fan Kai said.

"Speak."

"Hierarch, our success has been through the Royal Court of Eight Desolates, but our failure might also come from there."

"How do you explain that?"

"Success, because through the Royal Court of Eight Desolates, we gained territory and an army, successfully integrating into the current world and establishing ourselves.

But failure would mean that the Royal Court of Eight Desolates has already deemed our Blood God Sect as an enemy.

It’s just that a great battle is imminent, and they haven’t turned on us yet.

I’m certain, as soon as a war breaks out with the Human Clan of the current world, the King of Eight Desolates will justifiably mobilize our troops, using the war to deplete our strength.

Unfortunately, we cannot refuse.

Even if the Hierarch has returned after breaking through the Ninth Tier, it cannot be refused," Left Protector Fan Kai said.

"Continue."

"Ultimately, it is because, Hierarch, you cannot resist the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang."

"Why are you so sure?" the Sect Hierarch of the Blood God Sect asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Left Protector Fan Kai extended two fingers, "There are two points: First, that day you descended you ceremonially saw the King of Eight Desolates off.

If you were confident of defeating him, even if only a draw, with your character and for the interests of our Blood God Sect, you would have taken action to establish authority and gain more say in matters.

But you didn’t, Hierarch.

Secondly, our Blood God Sect has governed many Star Domains. I judge that the King of Eight Desolates definitely holds Heaven and Earth Authority over the Eight Desolate Continent, at least more than thirty percent.

In other words, the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Eight Desolate Continent can increase Ju Zhang’s combat power by more than thirty percent, or even more.

Such a Ju Zhang, even if your cultivation level advances to the Middle Period of the Ninth Tier, might still not be his match.

If we cannot contend against the King of Eight Desolates, then our Blood God Sect is bound to obey.

Bound to be slowly bled dry by the King of Eight Desolates! Bitten constantly!

If nothing changes, this spells the doom of the Blood God Sect.

Eventually, we will have to flee again!

This time, even the Eighth Tier Star Domain might not provide a refuge." Left Protector Fan Kai said with a helpless sigh.

Upon hearing this, the Blood God Sect Hierarch surprisingly clapped his hands, applauding Left Protector Fan Kai, "A dead end? Fate? These years, Old Fan, you’ve worked hard and poured your heart into it!

Save some points for another six months or a year, and strive to break through to the Ninth Tier early."

"Thank you, Hierarch, for nurturing me." Left Protector Fan Kai cupped his hands in gratitude, but added, "However, distant water can’t solve present thirst."

"Indeed, distant water can’t solve present thirst."

The silhouette shrouded in blood light from the Sect Hierarch sighed and slowly nodded, amidst his lamentation, a sudden trace of surprise appeared on the face of the Blood God Sect Hierarch.

Then, before Left Protector Fan Kai, he took out a Mandarin Duck Seal flashing with Starlight, apparently receiving a message from someone unknown.
