Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1628: Chapter 667: The Duyue Emperor’s Request and the Origin (Two-in-One)

Inside the Star-picking Tower Main Building, Xu Jin was also stunned.

He never expected that the Star Spirit would be shattered on the spot, becoming the key to activating the array.

Neither did Emperor Fenghua.

This was the suppression artifact of the Jidao Emperor when he became a Star Lord, and possibly his lifebound suppressing artifact. Therefore, Xu Jin and Emperor Fenghua never considered self-destruction as an option.

They thought that during the snatching process, the other party would descend with great power to contest it.

They never expected that the Star-picking Tower Main Building would turn into a launcher-like device and directly transport Xu Jin away from the Kunling Domain.

The destination, without a doubt, should most likely be to send Xu Jin to the Jidao Emperor.

Once sent to the Jidao Emperor, Xu Jin would be nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Xu Jin immediately began to save himself.

He instantly activated the Star Killing Sword, slashing with it.

If he hadn’t slashed, nothing would have happened, but this one slash caused a sudden upheaval inside the Star-picking Tower Main Building. Star Power surged from all directions.

With just a couple of slashes, Xu Jin felt like he had fallen into an ocean of Star Power.

One slash, but the result left Xu Jin in some despair.

Without the support of his lifebound artifact, the power of the Star Killing Sword was halved, and the Star Power consumed inside the Star-picking Tower with one slash was negligible.

In the thirty seconds it took, Xu Jin slashed a hundred times in succession, but the Star Power consumed was still negligible.

This reminded Xu Jin of what his master Emperor Fenghua had said before, that this Star-picking Tower, as the suppression artifact of the Jidao Emperor, had been nourished in the Kunling Domain for thousands of years, its accumulated power terrifying!

Xu Jin had already witnessed this terror.

The accumulated Star Power was so immense that it was indescribable.

Previously, Xu Jin thought that with the support of the Candou Platform, he could consume it internally by depleting its Star Power to see if he could escape.

But there was a huge risk with this method: if the Star Power of the Star-picking Tower Main Building was indeed exhausted, and if he was lucky enough to drift to some Star Domain, it would be fine.

If unlucky, he would drift into the Galaxy.

Even beings like True Monarch You Yu could only last for two hours within the chaotic Star Gang of the Galaxy.

What about Xu Jin?

The outcome was simple: death!

But if he didn’t save himself and fell into the hands of the Jidao Emperor, who knows, his fate might be worse than death.

In despair, Xu Jin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding like a drum!

Indeed, between life and death, there is great terror.

He just hadn’t reached that desperate place yet.

However, having experienced life and death, Xu Jin’s panic only lasted a moment before he calmed down.

First, there was still hope of survival because of external forces.

The elder master You Yu stationed outside the Kunling Domain must have noticed the anomaly. As long as Emperor Fenghua was alerted, they would definitely try to save him.

Whether they could get him out wasn’t certain.

But at least there was hope.

Secondly, this layout by the Jidao Emperor was extremely old, shattering the artifact spirit just to transport him.

This should be the first time in three thousand years the Jidao Emperor has used such a means. Whether an accident would occur in between is also uncertain.

If an accident did occur, there would be a chance to survive.

This was another layer of hope.

Thirdly, he had to save himself.

He had to accumulate self-rescue.

The first self-rescue method Xu Jin thought of was to consume Star Power from within, which was basically declared a failure.

Now, he had to see whether the Star Power inside the Star-picking Tower Main Building would rapidly decrease due to external consumption. At that time, Xu Jin could take a chance.

Rather than fall into the hands of the Jidao Emperor and suffer a fate worse than death, it would be better to gamble on a probability.

The second self-rescue method was the control authority of the Star-picking Tower Main Building.

Xu Jin had amassed a substantial amount of authority over the Star-picking Tower Main Building, which gave him some influence.

After 15 minutes, this self-rescue method was declared a failure.

The authority in his hands could not affect the Star-picking Tower Main Building in the slightest.

"It seems I can only prepare the third and fourth self-rescue methods."

Xu Jin’s third self-rescue method was essentially a last-ditch effort.

If he was really sent in front of the Jidao Emperor, it was likely Xu Jin would be crushed with a single finger.

But Xu Jin would not sit and wait for death.

At that time, he would see if the 1,200 Divine Dao Golden Pearls he had gathered could erupt all at once and possibly wound the Jidao Emperor.

If they could injure him, even if only affecting him for a few seconds, Xu Jin might still have a chance to survive.

Of course, this was gambling on probability in the final moments.

How strong the Emperor was, Xu Jin did not know.

And currently, what Xu Jin could do was the fourth self-rescue method.

Continuously activating the Thousand Star Token to see if he could make contact with the outside world.

After bursting out of the Kunling Domain from the Star-picking Tower, Xu Jin immediately sent a distress message and a situation update to Emperor Fenghua and True Monarch You Yu via the Thousand Star Token, but everything was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no reaction.

Simply put, the Thousand Star Token had no signal in this current situation.

Continuously activating it, Xu Jin was also betting on probability.

After all, in previous lives, when caught in a signal dead zone, sometimes climbing to higher ground might pick up a little signal.

Now there might be such an opportunity.

As long as there was even the slightest hope, Xu Jin would not give up!

.....

At the same time, outside the Kunling Domain, True Monarch You Yu was also stunned.

All his defenses were prepared to guard against the Jidao Emperor descending with power from outer space into the Kunling Domain, interfering with Xu Jin.

But now, the Star-picking Tower Main Building directly flew out of the Kunling Domain and headed into the depths of the Galaxy.

According to the Starlight Transmission Xu Jin had sent him before, Xu Jin had already entered it.
