Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1466: Chapter 588: The Mercy of Not Killing (Part 3)

With a thought, Xu Jin’s low-grade eight-star spiritual treasure, the Ink Jade Armor, appeared on the surface of his body. The Thunder Wing unfolded, and the Fish Curtain Golden Bell emerged, then he said aloud, "Palace Master Chi, I am ready."

"Please!"

"Please!"

Almost at the same moment, amidst the roll of thunder, purple-black Thunder Light roared out from the Purple Thunder Annihilation God Pearl, the inherited supreme treasure of the Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei, unleashed with full force.

But Xu Jin was even faster, flicking his fingers lightly, and the five-colored arc-shaped lightning shot out, its speed astonishingly fast.

The five-colored Thunder Light and the purple-black Thunder Light collided and both vanished into nothingness.

In the instant when Chi Lei’s expression changed, Xu Jin’s Five Elements Thunderbolt Slash struck again in succession, while the Purple Thunder Annihilation God Pearl in Chi Lei’s hand also launched continuous Thunder Light explosions.

But this time, things were different.

The same Thunder Light, after Xu Jin’s five-colored arc-shaped Thunder Light annihilated the thunder from Chi Lei’s Purple Thunder Annihilation God Pearl, it still had one-third left, directly striking towards Chi Lei himself.

In a hurry, Chi Lei continuously launched Thunder Light to block it.

His face changed drastically.

Xu Jin became even more confident.

The first instance of his Five Elements Thunderbolt Slash was purely driven by his Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, but the second one was enhanced by the Law Stars of the Candou Platform.

The power suddenly surged, directly throwing Muling Palace Chi Lei into a flustered state.

But it was merely a flustered state, a full-force response.

Of course, this wasn’t Xu Jin’s full strength either.

With both inherited supreme treasures at full power, the Wood Spirit Palace Master barely managed to withstand Xu Jin’s frenzied thunder assault, with a face already extremely grim.

In this battle, if he wished to win, he feared he could only resort to desperate finishing moves.

And at that very moment, Xu Jin also realized that relying solely on Thunder Star Skill to defeat the Wood Spirit Palace Master seemed impossible.

"Just right, let’s test the might of my Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower!"

With a thought, a majestic cloud tower flew out from within Xu Jin. As it flew out, it had already transformed into a palm-sized small tower, turning into a stream of light, and smashed toward the Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei.

Below the eighth tier, Star Towers cannot leave the body.

But after Xu Jin’s Primordial Spirit completely merged with the cloud tower, he found that his cloud tower could leave his body at will.

As the Hall Master of the Lingji Star Hall and the former State Preceptor Mao Yan said, the personal strongest Star Artifact really came to life in Xu Jin here.

As for how strong the cloud tower was, Xu Jin himself did not know.

Anyway, it was absurdly strong; the Five Elements Thunderbolt Slash striking it left only a mark.

Seeing the small tower coming, the Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei thought it was a Star Artifact or Spiritual Treasure used by Xu Jin to defeat enemies because he couldn’t sense the rank clearly.

But he was not careless either.

With a thought, the Purple Thunder Annihilation God Pearl on his forehead immediately shot out a child-arm-thick ray of thunder, blasting toward this small tower.

Repulsion was the goal.

Boom!

The Purple Thunder bombarded, merely causing the small tower to tremble slightly, with no reduction in its descent.

Nearly simultaneously, the Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei sensed something was wrong.

Instinctively dodging aside.

Another Five Elements Thunderbolt Slash came crashing head-on towards him.

The Purple Thunder Annihilation God Pearl had just dealt with this small tower, leaving no time for anything else, so he could only withstand it with his inherited Spiritual Treasure Vine Storage Spirit Armor.

This was a middle-grade eight-star Spiritual Treasure, capable of withstanding even a full-force blow from the early Ninth Tier.

Boom!

The Thunder Light descended.

His full-force activated Body Protective Starlight shattered, but the starlight on the inherited Spiritual Treasure Vine Storage Spirit Armor remained intact.

But at the same instant, his Divine Soul Essence Spirit felt as if it had been struck by a hammer, violently shaken.

In a flash, his vision blurred.

Chi Lei was shocked!

How could this Thunder Light attack carry a Divine Soul attack?

Moreover, it affected and harmed his Essence Spirit.

Doesn’t this mean that the Divine Soul Cultivation is higher than his?

How is this possible?

What’s his age; how old is the King of Territory?

Suddenly, the top of Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei’s head darkened, and the small tower abruptly enlarged, enveloping him as it descended.

As it capsized, it directly suppressed his inherited supreme treasure, the Purple Thunder Annihilation God Pearl, rendering its brilliance dimmed and Thunder Light restrained, emitting a mournful sound, instinctively withdrawing back into his body.

The Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower unfolded instantly, its sixty-story cloud tower majestic as a mountain, its eight and nine-cornered cloud towers stern as a forest, crashing down with the force of falling stars.

Xu Jin was doing this as a test, fully unleashing the power of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

The starlight on Chi Lei’s inherited Spiritual Treasure Vine Storage Spirit Armor shattered instantly, and under the heavy pressure, cracks appeared all over the armor.

Boom!

Chi Lei was entirely pinned at the bottom of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, which carried him and crashed directly to the ground.

During the descent, Chi Lei, who had just recovered from the shock of his Essence Spirit, fiercely activated his inherited Spiritual Armor.

Just as it was activated, his entire being was thrust by Xu Jin’s Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower directly into the ground!

Bang!

Boom!

The ground emitted a sound akin to an earthquake, while dust and smoke rose, permeating the heavens and the earth.

On the ground, a hundred-meter-high small mountain peak disappeared entirely.

The cloud tower shook, yet remained as steady as Mount Tai, and Xu Jin’s Primordial Spirit trembled slightly but was unaffected.

Xu Jin stepped onto a star, a hint of delight in his eyes.

The effect of directly incorporating Divine Soul attacks into Star Skill attacks was much greater than he had imagined.

At the same time, the power of his Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower was also much greater than he had imagined.

And during this experiential process, he already understood that he could create numerous interactions with the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

During the descendent suppression, he could directly launch various Star Skill assaults from the bottom of the cloud tower.

Swift and fast.

In some sense, the cloud tower and the Primordial Spirit became one; Xu Jin was the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower; this Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower was Xu Jin.

Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei’s condition was also wholly clear to Xu Jin.

Unconscious.

Directly knocked out cold.

Among earth, Chi Lei, and the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, one had to shatter.

The exact number of bones broken was unclear, but he remained alive.

Had it not been for the protection of the eight-star Spiritual Treasure, his head would have shattered by now.

Of course, Xu Jin had also timely stayed his hand.

If, when Xu Jin’s Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower descended, or perhaps now from beneath the cloud tower a ray of Thunder Light or Flame Light had burst forth, the unconscious Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei would have been reduced to ashes.

Yet, at this moment, if Xu Jin were to slay Chi Lei, he would likely instantly become a universally acknowledged enemy, the consequences of which would be unpredictable.

Therefore, with a thought, Xu Jin instantly retracted the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, returning it inside his body.

Below, Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei lay sprawled in a large pit on the ground, his body in the shape of a large letter X, the eight-star Spiritual Treasure Vine Storage Spirit Armor on his surface full of cracks, with all starlight lost, having suffered serious wounds.

Initially suffering from Essence Spirit tremors, later sustaining serious head injuries, Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei remained unconscious.

With a frown, Xu Jin let a speck of verdant green starlight fly from his hand, merging into the unconscious Palace Master’s body.

As the Star Healing Starlight merged, Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei’s fingers twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes, only to feel extreme pain throughout his body, with over half of his bones already broken.

If he had not fully activated his Star Power to protect his head, his physical body would likely have been gone by now.

In the next instant, Chi Lei was startled: where was the King of Territory?

Struggling to turn his head, Chi Lei saw the King of Territory Xu Jin looking down at him from a slanted position.

In that instant, Chi Lei’s heart surged with waves and waves of astonishment.

Shocked to the extreme.

His emotions were incredibly complex!

"Thank... the King of Territory for... sparing my life..." After a while, Chi Lei finally managed to speak with difficulty.
