Chapter 1595: Chapter 653: Star Killing Array



Sure, here’s the translation:

The Mingji Star Pattern swept past the dozen or so clusters of Heavenly Authority that had emerged. Xu Jin’s gaze was fixated, and the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower instantly descended to envelop these clusters of Heavenly Authority and the Star God Seal, preventing any unforeseen events.


In that instant when the Mingji Star Pattern swept by, Xu Jin unexpectedly recognized a slightly familiar Heavenly Authority.


Extremely delightful.


A breath later, Xu Jin immediately pulled out Sima Qu’s Sumeru Space from the Baidou Divine Sect.


From the moment they clashed, it was evident that Sima Qu wasn’t very wealthy, using only a Seven-Star top-grade spiritual armor.


However, the value of Sima Qu’s Sumeru Space wasn’t something that could be compared to other treasures.


Sima Qu held the legacy of both the Lingji Star Hall and the Baidou Divine Sect.


Even if Xu Jin didn’t cultivate these legacies, they were nonetheless extraordinary for research and reference.


Moreover, according to National Master Cheng Yuexiao, the initial theory of connecting Heaven and Earth was conceived by Sima Qu.


Immediately, Xu Jin inspected Sima Qu’s Sumeru Space.


As for the other followers of the Baidou Divine Sect, with their leadership all perished and the Sect Hierarch slain, they had long since dispersed.


Sima Qu possessed a large quantity of Star Jade Tablets, with a small mountain of those at the Sixth Tier and below, over three thousand at the Seventh Tier, and astonishingly, fifty-one at the Eighth Tier.


This wealth was fitting for the leader of a sect.


There was not a single treasure from the Thousand Star Alliance source, clearly indicating that Sima Qu did not have a Thousand Star Token.


However, Sima Qu had stored over two hundred Eighth-Order Star Cores, along with a portion of Seventh and Eighth Tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.


Additionally, he had forty Divine Soul Pearls for quickly restoring Divine Soul Cultivation.


These were gathered from the Star Battle True God Statue’s divine soul power.


Xu Jin tested them, and each pearl could restore two-tenths of Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Cultivation, which was quite a nice gain.


Soon, Xu Jin’s gaze sharpened.


True God Bone!


True God Bones capable of establishing a divine statue—there were five in Sima Qu’s Sumeru Space.


Four were very small, but one was remarkably large, about the size of a palm.


This brought a smile to Xu Jin’s eyes instantly.


This was a significant gain, enough on its own.


Sima Qu had plenty of Fifth and Sixth Tier spiritual medicines, though not noteworthy to Xu Jin, but he did have a single Seventh-Tier Divine Soul-type Spiritual Medicine, along with two Seventh-Tier Star Power-type Spiritual Medicines.


These were quite promising.


They could at least allow Xu Jin to refine and upgrade to three Eighth-Tier spiritual medicines.


Besides that, Xu Jin found two low-grade Seven-Star spiritual armors, probably spares, and the rest were various Jade Tablets.


Most were engraved with Lingji Star Hall’s assorted Star Pattern legacies on Jade Tablets.


Perhaps because they were stored in his own Sumeru Space, Sima Qu hadn’t imposed any restrictions.


Xu Jin’s divine thought swept through them one by one but felt slightly disappointed.


These legacy Star Patterns weren’t useful to him.


All Star Patterns had already been transmitted to him earlier by Qi Shanye, although Sima Qu’s Star Patterns had much higher grades than what Qi Shanye had mentioned as the highest grade.


Evidently, he had kept quite a few tricks up his sleeve.


But compared to the grades of Star Patterns Xu Jin currently possessed, they were still far inferior.


Most Star Patterns were Eighth Tier lower, with very few being Eighth Tier middle and upper.


After fifteen minutes, Xu Jin had examined all these Jade Tablets and organized the ones useful to him.


One was a Jade Tablet named Earth and Heaven Connecting推演 Manual, containing various conjectures worth Xu Jin’s focused study.


The second was a secret transmission called Star God Killing Formation.


After a brief glance at the synopsis, Xu Jin’s gaze became sharp.


This Star God Killing Formation was likely the ultimate move used by the Baidou Sect Hierarch to counter him.


Essentially, it used the Star God Seal as the core to command the Baidou Divine Sect’s Five Directions True Monarch, Four Phases True Man Seals, Twenty-Eight Constellations Seals to kill and trap foes, with unpredictable changes and extraordinary power, also drawing upon the Star Battle True God’s star power support.


Killing enemies across large realms, it was dreadfully easy.


But deploying this array required three core conditions: firstly, the Star Battle True God Seal, secondly, the Star Battle True God Statue, and thirdly, the Five Directions True Monarch Seal or Four Phases Seal as foundations—the more seals held, the stronger the holder’s cultivation level, the stronger the combat power.


Theoretically, it could increase the array host’s combat power more than fivefold.


This introduction shocked Xu Jin.


If the Baidou Sect Hierarch’s combat power quintupled, and if he rushed in, he might be killed in an instant.


This was undoubtedly Sima Qu’s ultimate killing move.


Were it not for the great downsides of this array, Sima Qu would be unbeatable.


The downside was that it must be centered around the Star Battle True God Statue.


The Baidou Divine Sect’s statues ranged from forty to fifty meters in height, like the one Xu Jin destroyed in White Tiger Star City, reaching over seventy meters, making it impossible to store in Sumeru Space.


If Sima Qu could produce a statue over ten meters high and carry it within Sumeru Space, he would be unstoppable.


Carrying the statue, he could sweep across the Kunling Domain.


Of course, it wasn’t that simple.


Statues aren’t just something you can carry in your pocket; otherwise, they wouldn’t be called statues.


This array made Xu Jin’s heart burn with desire.


If he could succeed with this array, he might even have the potential to slay a Star Lord.


But the hardware requirements were immensely challenging.


With so many people, it was difficult enough, not to mention the statue.


A few moments later, Xu Jin had a plan: once Master Emperor Fenghua returned with information about the Great Chaos Spirit Body, he would send this over and ask Master Emperor Fenghua to research if it could be improved.


The main reason is that Xu Jin had acquired all those seals, and it would be a shame to waste them.


Considering this, Xu Jin suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.


It seemed like Emperor Fenghua hadn’t had a moment of peace since taking him as a disciple.


Problems kept arising.


The Great Chaos Spirit Body hadn’t yielded results, yet Xu Jin already had more tasks lined up.


"Troublesome as it is, the master’s benevolence is profound, and I will repay it slowly in the future..."


```


Within the Jade are records of the rituals for worshiping the Star Battle True God, obtaining Star Power blessings, including the construction of the Divine Statue and the method and process of the divine descent.


Extremely detailed.


This Jade is also of great value to Xu Jin.


After just one reading, Xu Jin realized his method of crafting his own statues was still too crude.


The statues crafted according to the Star Refining Skill recorded in this Jade possess various mystical properties and functions; for example, the efficiency of collecting faith power is better, allowing the so-called divine attendants to mobilize a portion of the statue’s power, while also achieving the maximum contact with the True God.


The larger the statue is crafted according to the Star Refining Skill, the more Star God’s power can be induced.


Reading this, Xu Jin was slightly puzzled: If the statue he crafted represented himself, what would happen when he induced the Star God’s power through the statue?


This poses a question.


Xu Jin thought that perhaps he could try it in the future to see what would happen.


What Xu Jin valued most was the content recorded in these pieces of Jade.


In addition, there were more than ten pieces of Jade, recording various secrets and lists, which, at least for now, were not very useful to Xu Jin.


More than ten Star Domain Marks remained, though their destinations were unknown.


If given the chance, Xu Jin would like to explore them to see if they belonged to the Star Domain unified by the Baidou Divine Sect.


Finally, Xu Jin finished inventorying the Sumeru Space of Sima Qu, the Baidou Sect Hierarch, gaining bountiful rewards.


Yet, this was not the entire harvest.


In the next moment, Xu Jin’s Divine Thought instantly surged into the Star Battle Divine Seal.


This Star Battle Divine Seal was crucial to the Star Killing Array, and it was also a Nine-Star Spiritual Treasure of the Divine Soul Type—a significant acquisition that must be refined.


As his Divine Thought sank in, Xu Jin’s Daoist Embryo slightly trembled, and his newly submerged Divine Thought was unexpectedly annihilated!


"Strange, this is already an ownerless object, how could it resist?"


In the next instant, Xu Jin cautiously guided a wisp of Divine Thought into it using the Mingji Star Pattern.


Upon entering, the Divine Thought was once again annihilated.


Xu Jin was furious.


Inside, a Divine Thought lingered, occupying the Star Battle Divine Seal.


"Could it be the remaining spirit of the Baidou Sect Hierarch?"


With this thought, Xu Jin pressed his palm against the Star Battle Divine Seal, and Thunder Light instantly surged into its interior.


One Thunder!


Two Thunders!


Three Thunders!


After three consecutive Thunder Lights, the remaining spirit inside still stubbornly held on, showing no sign of dispersal.


Suddenly, Xu Jin looked up towards the sky, where a mysterious starlight faintly flickered.


Xu Jin suddenly understood.


The spirit within the Star Battle Divine Seal was not the remaining spirit of the Baidou Sect Hierarch, but the Divine Thought of the Star Battle True God!


This Star Battle True God was still alive!


Almost simultaneously, the Star Battle Divine Seal in Xu Jin’s palm began to tremble violently, as starlight rapidly converged in the sky, subtly responding to the Divine Seal in Xu Jin’s palm, causing an inexplicable sense of threat to Xu Jin.


It felt as though something in the distant starry sky had locked onto him!


Star Power was converging, and its fluctuation was continuously strengthening!


Possessing the Mingji Star Pattern, Xu Jin could faintly sense the subtle malice, or rather the intent to kill, hidden in the depths of the cosmos!


Suddenly, Xu Jin recalled the words of his uncle, You Yu True Monarch.


Heaven and Earth Rules naturally have their limits.


Any force exceeding the limit cannot enter.


What should he fear?


The Daoist Embryo flickered with Spirit Light, instantly triggering the Thunder Hall on his Lifebound Star Spirit, as Thunder Element Origin Star Light swayed down in an instant, merging into Xu Jin’s body, then directly surging into the Star Battle Divine Seal!


With one thunder strike, Xu Jin sensed the spirit within the Star Battle Divine Seal weakening significantly, but the cosmic gathering of Star Power rapidly accelerated.


The Daoist Embryo continuously urged, causing Thunder Element Origin Star Light to descend repeatedly.


Five continuous strikes.


After five of the strongest Thunder Light strikes, the spirit within the Star Battle Divine Seal was completely dispersed in the Thunder Light.


An inexplicable force thoroughly dissipated within the Star Battle Divine Seal, and as it vanished, it swept across Xu Jin’s Daoist Embryo, a chilling sensation briefly seizing his heart before disappearing without a trace.


At the same moment, a faint roar echoed from the sky, suddenly vanishing without a trace, together with the converged Star Power that dissipated instantly.


The cosmos swiftly returned to tranquility.


"Am I being targeted again?"


Xu Jin chuckled helplessly, casting off worry.


In the next instant, Xu Jin’s Divine Thought surged into the Star Battle Divine Seal, fully refining it within just 15 minutes.


Upon complete refinement of the Star Battle Divine Seal, various profound insights floated to Xu Jin’s mind, along with a subtle sense of command.


In the next moment, Xu Jin vaguely sensed the Five Directions True Monarch Seal, Four Phases True Man Seal, Twenty Constellations Star Officer Seal, including the two he had refined, sensing a commanding presence.


The already refined Star Officer Seals felt manipulable as if under his control.


This greatly delighted Xu Jin.


This artifact should have additional mysterious uses and requires thorough research.


After securing and refining all the Seals, Xu Jin turned his gaze upon the most familiar piece among the dozen or so Heaven and Earth Authorities.


The Heaven and Earth Authority of the Eight Desolate Continent.


Baidou Sect Hierarch Sima Qu held one-tenth of the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Eight Desolate Continent.


But what shocked Xu Jin was another piece with a full one-and-a-half portions of Heaven and Earth Authority.


This Heaven and Earth Authority, only one-and-a-half portions high, is of a high rank, belonging to a Middle World Heaven and Earth Authority.


Middle World?


This made Xu Jin’s heart leap.


Considering Sima Qu’s identity and background.


Could this one-and-a-half Heaven and Earth Authority belong to the Kunling Domain?


In an instant, many thoughts flooded Xu Jin’s mind.
