Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1597: Chapter 654: The Death of Ju Zhang (Part 2)

"Having food is good enough. If they’re not happy, let them come to me!

Also, pay attention to the power of the Tianyang Star Hall."

"Alright."

After assigning these tasks to ensure Dachen achieves the strongest battle results, Xu Jin then used space movement towards the Eight Desolate Royal City.

While moving, he activated the Spiritual Platform Star Skill to restore his Divine Soul Cultivation.

But this time while moving, Xu Jin did not invoke his natal star, thus greatly reducing consumption, although the decreased moving distance was not much.

The reason is that the authority of the Eight Desolate Continent, up to twenty-five percent, not only compensated for the moving distance but also reduced the consumption even more.

*****

Within the golden pillar of the Eight Desolate Royal City, a trace of an illusory remnant shadow stared blankly at the top of the golden pillar.

It could vaguely be seen as a remnant divine shadow of Ju Zhang.

Ju Zhang’s confidants, Ju Rong and Ju Sheng, looked mournfully as they followed Ju Zhang’s instructions to place a large number of Sixth and Seventh Tier Star Jade at the bottom of the golden pillar.

The golden pillar was constructed after Ju Zhang successfully established his footing in the Kunling Realm, using valuable materials he brought along and massive amounts of treasures from Heaven and Earth that he collected, following a special method using powder from the top of the Holy Ancestor’s golden horn as the core.

After its construction, it became the national guardian artifact of their Eight Desolate Continent, not only gathering power to unleash amazing destructive force but also allowing very convenient communication with the upper realm.

Under normal circumstances, once he conquered the Galaxy Battlefield, this golden pillar could suppress the entire Eight Desolate Continent and the Galaxy Battlefield, merging them into one and helping him lobby into the current world, completely conquering the Kunling Domain.

Therefore, when the golden pillar was first completed, Ju Zhang, to ensure the golden pillar would always remain under his control, endured the immense pain, using secret techniques to directly separate out a trace of Divine Soul Origin, refining it into a divine separation.

Then used this divine separation to refine and control the core of the golden pillar.

That is why, even though Xu Jin has slayed both Ju Zhang’s physical body and primordial spirit, the reason Sumeru Space has not exploded is due to the survival of his divine separation because of the golden pillar.

But it merely survives.

The divine separation is called as such because, in most cases, it is merely an existence without any power.

Such as now, Ju Zhang’s remnant divine shadow has only an illusory form and no power to even activate the golden pillar.

He could only ask his loyal confidants to retrieve a large amount of Star Jade from the national treasury, allowing them to activate it so he could then activate the golden pillar.

Activating the golden pillar was not for escaping.

At present, Ju Zhang’s remnant divine shadow, even if given a chance to leave, would completely dissipate after a transmission.

He activated the golden pillar only to bid farewell to his father.

From understanding the world, he always wanted to be the son who made his father, Golden Shuo True Monarch, proud.

He kept striving for it.

Until now, he thought he was close to achieving it.

But now, everything has turned to ashes.

He was very disappointed in himself!

But no matter what, before leaving, he wanted to kowtow to his father, Golden Shuo True Monarch.

As for turning the tables?

He no longer aspired for that extravagant hope.

From when Xu Jin slayed the mysterious gourd, he knew the momentum was gone.

Originally, he had hoped of escaping.

As long as he successfully returned from Xu Jin’s hands, regardless of the cost, activating this golden pillar himself, escaping alone was still possible.

But firstly, there was no opportunity.

Secondly, he was too ashamed to return to face his father and all the people of his clan.

He arrived confidently, brimming with pride.

If he returned like a dog with its tail between its legs, he could not even bear it himself.

"My Lord, it’s ready."

Ju Rong and Ju Sheng, the two loyal Eight Tier confidants, had as required placed a large amount of Star Jade below the golden pillar.

Seeing this, Ju Zhang’s illusory shadow sighed and waved his hand, "Alright, with the things in the national treasury, take as much as you can and then hide your traces carefully. Perhaps you might survive."

"My Lord, we will not leave!"

Ju Rong and Ju Sheng knelt simultaneously, their faces mournful.

"Quickly go, if you delay, it may be too late!"

"My Lord!"

The illusionary shadow of Ju Zhang waved his hand again.

A few breaths later, Ju Rong and Ju Sheng kowtowed three times to Ju Zhang before turning and rushing to the Eight Desolate Continent’s national treasury.

A dozen breaths later, with their Sumeru Space filled, the two did not bother to notify others but immediately soared into the sky.

But looking around, they did not know where to escape.

After discussing for several breaths, they suddenly looked towards the direction of White Tiger Star City.

When Mr. Baidou first arrived, he drew upon the power of stars to engage in a major battle with their lord, achieving a draw.

The power of Mr. Baidou should be the strongest of the current world apart from their lord.

The two decided to rush to Mr. Baidou.

An Eight Tier expert is a significant value in itself, perhaps there is still a chance to avenge the lord!

The two flew for just over thirty breaths when two streaks of thunder light sliced, catching them off guard. Ju Rong and Ju Sheng, the two Eight Tier, had their heads severed in a moment, turning into charcoal.

The primordial spirits flew out in horror, before they could react, one of the spirits was blasted into ashes, and the other’s spirit was captured alive by Xu Jin.

Xu Jin had already activated the Warm Dream Star Skill and began interrogating.

Xu Jin himself didn’t expect to encounter two Eight Tier alien races on the way to the Eight Desolate Royal City.

So naturally, he slaughtered them at hand.

In just a few breaths, Xu Jin understood the situation of the Eight Desolate Royal City.

He also learned about the state of King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, and the reason behind the slaying without Sumeru Space exploding.

It was all due to the golden pillar.
