Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1589: Chapter 650: Ju Zhang’s Killing Blow

The moment Ju Zhang saw the death of the Mysterious Gourd, an overwhelming sense of regret surged within him after his initial anger.

Regret that he used his ultimate move too late!

If he had been willing to use it earlier, the Mysterious Gourd wouldn’t have had to die!

The situation was still in his favor, but now...

Thoughts churned a hundred times in an instant, and in the moment Ju Zhang’s expression turned wooden, he bit down hard on his tongue. The Origin Essence Blood he had condensed within his body was sprayed mouthful by mouthful onto the illusory golden horn mark of the Eight Desolate Golden Seal.

This was a reward from the Golden Pillar Saint Ancestor after he successfully connected the fragment of the Ancestor Realm drifting in this direction to firmly establish a foothold in the Star Domain.

Authority is power!

That authority is a projection of a wisp of power from the golden horn atop the Golden Pillar Saint Ancestor’s head.

If fully activated, the power exerted can reach the limit of the Heaven and Earth Laws in the Kunling Domain, which is the power of a Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch.

However, to activate this over-limit power requires a huge cost.

It needs Ju Zhang’s Origin Essence Blood.

To the Golden Pillar Saint Clan, Origin Essence Blood means potential, the future, and lifespan.

When he brought the Mysterious Gourd and others to the mortal realm last time, Ju Zhang had already consumed a lot of Origin Essence Blood, greatly diminishing his lifespan and potential, but if he succeeded, there would still be an opportunity to make up for it.

Also because of the great loss last time, this authority from the Saint Ancestor, he would absolutely not use it if he could avoid it.

Today’s battle was the same; he didn’t use it at the very start.

When he wanted to use it, he was already a step too late.

But with the death of the Mysterious Gourd, his grand plan to unify the Kunling Domain had already turned to dust.

Not to mention the present Human Clan, not even Mr. Baidou could suppress it afterward.

So what use was keeping this Life Essence Blood?

In anger and despair, mouthful after mouthful of Life Essence Blood was sprayed onto the Eight Desolate Golden Seal as if they were of no value at all, and Ju Zhang visibly aged rapidly.

However, the golden horn mark on the Eight Desolate Golden Seal became clearer, and the aura it emitted grew increasingly terrifying!

Golden light abruptly erupted from the Eight Desolate Golden Seal, blasting towards Xu Jin’s Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

Boom!

Xu Jin’s Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower shook violently, and amidst the exploding Starlight, the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower was directly blasted several feet upwards!

Seeing Ju Zhang about to break free, Xu Jin’s thoughts moved, and in an instant, Starlight swayed down, directly merging into the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

Golden light erupted again from the Eight Desolate Golden Seal. Even though Xu Jin’s Cloud Tower was bolstered by his Lifebound Star Spirit, it was still being blasted upwards repeatedly by the golden light from the Eight Desolate Golden Seal.

The Starlight of the Cloud Tower started to dissipate, and it was about to be severely damaged!

In the next moment, the Starlight swayed down again, the Starlight like a river. Under the power of the high-tier Seven Killings Sword Heart, the Starlight Star Skill, together with the Eight Desolate Golden Seal, exhibited lifelike fluctuations. Under the Star Killing Sword, it pointed directly at the most core and crucial point of those life fluctuations.

The power of the Lifebound Star Spirit of the Spiritual Brilliance Star Realm was also pushed to the extreme with this strike.

The sword light was like a galaxy, dreamlike and illusory!

One sword struck the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang.

However, as the golden horn on the Eight Desolate Golden Seal burst with light, it directly scattered Xu Jin’s sword light.

With the Killing Star Continuous Slash, the Eight Desolate Golden Seal repeatedly erupted, and for a moment, they were in a stalemate!

To be precise, the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, had a slight advantage.

Even with the Star Killing Sword’s continuous slashes, the golden light from the Eight Desolate Golden Seal not only destroyed Xu Jin’s sword light every time but also blasted Xu Jin’s Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower repeatedly upwards.

In a fleeting moment, the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, broke free.

In the next instant, the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, with the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, instantly activated the Golden Snake Bomb with the Eight Desolate Golden Seal. The unique aura of the Golden Pillar Saint Ancestor within the Eight Desolate Golden Seal immediately pushed the power of the Golden Snake Bomb to its extreme.

Sword light blasted forward, directly obliterating Xu Jin’s sword light and crashing onto Xu Jin’s body.

As Thunder Light retaliated, Xu Jin’s Ice Wood Thunder Armor bore the brunt of this strike.

But this also gave Xu Jin an idea.

Judging by the situation, it seemed Ju Zhang was using some Secret Technique, especially with the power aura within the Eight Desolate Golden Seal far exceeding the Ninth Tier.

"If this continues, I might suffer a loss?"

With a thought, Xu Jin formulated a plan.

At the same moment, the freed King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, relentlessly capitalized on his advantage, using the Origin Power within the Eight Desolate Golden Seal to unleash the Golden Snake Bomb, furiously attacking Xu Jin.

Xu Jin was not in a rush.

He simply made a gesture, and the Nine Heavens Thunder God Seal above his head flashed slightly, causing the massive thunderclouds gathered overhead to burst with blazing Thunder Light in an instant.

Boom!

Thunder Light crashed down, scattering most of the golden light, yet some golden light still fell on Xu Jin.

Seeing this, the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, was overjoyed.

Having been suffocated in front of the Seven Killings successor for nearly two years, today he finally found the chance for a reprieve.

Today, he was determined to slay the Seven Killings successor at his feet!

Yet another mouthful of Origin Essence Blood was spewed out, frantically driving the Eight Desolate Golden Seal and the Golden Snake Bomb, continuously blasting at Xu Jin.

Seeing this, a cold smile appeared on Xu Jin’s face.

With a single gesture, the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower suddenly flew in front of Xu Jin, and in the moment when the incomparably heavy Starlight appeared, it shielded Xu Jin from Ju Zhang’s frantic bombardment.

Simultaneously, the Daoist Embryo behind Xu Jin came to life, and the power of the Divine Soul within the Daoist Embryo surged at once, gathering together in a peculiar way, focusing on the peculiar life fluctuations sensed by the high-tier Seven Killings Sword Heart, and in an instant, a sword was slashed out.

As the nearly formless, intangible sword light fell, Ju Zhang’s expression immediately turned to one of shock.

He waved his hands about like a blind man.

Second Sword of Seven Killings, the Killing Knowledge Sword!

With just one sword, Ju Zhang’s vision was severed.

The Daoist Embryo wielded the sword, the sword light swayed up, and again a sword was slashed out.
