Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1955: Chapter 832: The Great Fate Bearer and Prey (Vote Request Removed)

Hai Fen Realm.

Built atop the high mountains, Hai Fen Star Hall is the highest authority in the Hai Fen Realm.

It is also the true forbidden temple of Hai Fen Realm.

Of course, this forbidden temple is for ordinary cultivators and commoners.

Only True Monarchs of the Eleventh Rank and Star Monarchs of the Tenth Rank can freely enter this hall. As for Ninth Rank elites, they can come, but can never step into the inner hall of Hai Fen Star Hall.

At this moment, the Seven Tribulations Thunder Horn True Monarch and the Six Tribulations Hai Jie True Monarch, who are on guard in Hai Fen Realm, are sitting cross-legged in the main hall of Star Hall, growing a bit anxious as every moment passes.

Especially the Six Tribulations Hai Jie True Monarch.

The last time Hai Jie True Monarch led an attack on Kunling Domain, he returned with a crushing defeat. He and the Five Tribulations Gujiao True Monarch faced You Yu True Monarch, resulting in Gujiao True Monarch’s death while he managed to escape.

Therefore, the fourth expedition is particularly significant for Hai Jie True Monarch.

After all, his feelings are quite complex.

He wishes for the Realm Master True Monarch and others to succeed smoothly, returning victoriously.

But if that happens, would it make him seem too incompetent?

So he hopes that this attack led by Realm Master True Monarch will encounter some trouble, and a little loss would be best, with one or two True Monarchs dying being even better.

This way, it can prove that the last defeat wasn’t due to his incompetence, but because the enemy was too strong.

Yet, if the loss is too severe, it would damage the overall strength of Hai Fen Realm, which he also doesn’t wish to see.

This inner turmoil is quite complicated.

"Lord Thunder Horn, it’s been so long, why hasn’t there been any news from the True Monarch? Shouldn’t we inquire?" Hai Jie True Monarch seemed anxious.

"Why the rush?"

Thunder Horn True Monarch gave Hai Jie True Monarch a sideways glance, "By timing it, True Monarch and the others have just entered battle for about fifteen minutes, they’re engaged in fierce battle right now, asking would only distract True Monarch."

Within Hai Fen Realm, the only person referred to as True Monarch is Hai Fen True Monarch.

"Yes," Hai Jie True Monarch responded softly.

Seeing Hai Jie True Monarch like this, Thunder Horn True Monarch felt a stir in his heart and spoke again, "Hai Jie, you have already become a True Monarch, why are you still so impatient?

No calmness, how can you achieve great things?"

Being rebuked by Thunder Horn True Monarch, Hai Jie True Monarch felt helpless. Originally, there was only a single cultivation layer difference, and his status was almost on par with Thunder Horn True Monarch, but the defeat in the last battle caused his status and authority to plummet.

It was very helpless.

Suddenly, Thunder Horn True Monarch’s eyes flickered with surprise, "Hmm, I sensed True Monarch’s aura, there are two of them, but the aura is somewhat indistinct, yet the Heaven and Earth Authority has not issued a warning.

It’s not an outsider, could it be that someone among True Monarch and others has returned?"

"So soon?"

Upon hearing this judgment, Hai Jie True Monarch thought differently.

Returning so soon, and so silently, could it be they were defeated and fled back?

"If they fled back from defeat, then..." With this thought, Hai Jie True Monarch’s reaction was not one of tension, but rather relief, even happiness!

Though thinking this, Hai Jie True Monarch would never show it, instead, he immediately stood up and said, "My lord, whether they have returned victorious or not, we should go meet them!"

"Alright, let’s go meet them!"

In the next moment, Thunder Horn True Monarch and Hai Jie True Monarch soared skyward, rushing towards the source of the power fluctuations as they exited the Star Hall.

From a distance, they locked onto the direction via the True Monarch power fluctuations, but the aura remained indistinct.

They could only determine an approximate location and judge that there were two True Monarch auras, but specifics were beyond their perception.

Slightly eerie.

At the same moment, within the cloud cluster, seeing two True Monarch experts soar skyward from the Star Hall, True Monarch Lei Bian and You Yu True Monarch both gave Xu Jin a thumbs up.

Under the cover of the Heaven and Earth Authority, they had silently transmitted to Hai Fen Realm, passing unnoticed on the way.

With Xu Jin’s forty percent Heaven and Earth Authority perception, they confirmed the positions of the two guarding True Monarch experts, also confirmed these two were together, and confirmed that there were over sixty Tenth Rank Star Monarchs and more than two thousand Ninth Rank elites around them.

If they were allowed to organize, the trouble would indeed be significant.

True Monarch Lei Bian’s intention was an ambush.

But Xu Jin, on the other hand, had them continue to approach, then covered their aura with half of the Heaven and Earth Authority.

Unexpectedly, they easily lured the two guarding True Monarchs out.

Seeing the two cautiously approaching guarding True Monarchs, True Monarch Lei Bian composed himself and said softly, "Old Yu, junior disciple, let’s act according to the planned tactics!"

In the next instant, as Xu Jin withdrew the Heaven and Earth Authority cover, True Monarch Lei Bian and You Yu True Monarch simultaneously charged out, while Xu Jin vanished in place.

The auras of the two True Monarch experts were also fully revealed.

In almost an instant, the Seven Tribulations Thunder Horn True Monarch and Six Tribulations Hai Jie True Monarch clearly sensed the True Monarch auras of the two.

Instead, it was Xu Jin’s aura that was overlooked due to vanishing in that instant, and because of the continuous cover of Heaven and Earth Authority.

"Nine Tribulations True Monarch?"

"My lord, this is the Five Tribulations True Monarch I encountered on Black Tower Island last time!" Hai Jie True Monarch exclaimed!

In an instant, Thunder Horn True Monarch realized.

An enemy had counter-attacked, the situation on the frontal battlefield was yet unclear.

But since he was left behind in Hai Fen Realm, he must defend Hai Fen Realm well.

Although the enemy was a Nine Tribulations True Monarch, he did not fear, as he also had one-tenth of the Heaven and Earth Authority to assist.

And there were plenty of native elites in Hai Fen Realm.

In a split second, Thunder Horn True Monarch turned countless decisions in his mind.

At the speed of thought, a blood banner suddenly soared into the sky, emitting a piercing shriek while blood light bloomed in the high sky!

This is the Iron-Blood Flag created by Hai Fen True Monarch.

Wherever the Iron-Blood Flag of Hai Fen Star Hall rises, it signifies a powerful foreign enemy invasion, requiring a fight to the death!

To array and fight to the death!

This is the organization of Hai Fen Realm.

As the blood banner smoothly soared skyward, both Thunder Horn True Monarch and Hai Jie True Monarch breathed a sigh of relief.

The elite of Hai Fen Realm could be said to be well-trained.

As long as they saw the blood banner, with the current short distance, the elite could array within thirty breaths.

By then, as long as dozens of Tenth Rank focused attacks, even a Ninth Rank True Monarch couldn’t withstand too many hits.

"Hai Jie, you take on the Five Tribulations one, each of us against one, withstand for thirty breaths, and then slay them!" Thunder Horn True Monarch quickly performed a Divine Soul Transmission to Hai Jie True Monarch.

This is the best arrangement.

And the optimal one.

In the next instant, the Nine Tribulations True Monarch and the Five Tribulations True Monarch from the opposite side had already charged towards them, terrifying thunder light and sword light rushing forward.

But the Thunder Horn True Monarch wasn’t afraid in the slightest.

One against one, he could absolutely hold for thirty breaths.

In an instant, he invoked one-tenth of the Heaven and Earth Authority, his whole body also flashing with thunder light, and his unique Lifebound Killing Artifact, the Thunder Horn, entwined with purple-black lightning, emerged. The whole person appeared like a monstrous thunder beast and charged towards the Nine Tribulations Lei Bian True Monarch!

In an instant, he collided with the Nine Tribulations Lei Bian True Monarch’s attack.

At the moment of collision, the thunder light around him began to dissolve, his Origin Rule Dao Skill was shattered in an instant, and his Lifebound Killing Artifact was slightly damaged.

But this was normal.

After all, he was facing a Nine Tribulations True Monarch.

He had been prepared for this long ago.

His second Lifebound Killing Artifact had already rushed out.

But at that very moment, he suddenly discovered in horror that the sword light of the Five Tribulations True Monarch had already landed on him, diminishing most of the power of his second strike. At the same moment, the Nine Tribulations True Monarch’s attack arrived again, directly dimming the starlight of his second Lifebound Killing Artifact.

He was ambushed!

In an instant, the Thunder Horn True Monarch was frightened.

This was even more terrifying than being injured at the first meeting.

This situation directly led him to recall a certain possibility.

Hai Jie had defected!

Hai Jie True Monarch was likely to have defected.

Otherwise, how could such a situation occur?

The two of them rushed out for a two-on-two, but now it has become him against two!

At the moment of fear surfacing his heart, the Thunder Horn True Monarch lost all will to fight, his battle spirit disappeared.

"Hai Jie!"

Amidst his roar, the Thunder Horn True Monarch turned his head in an instant, once again struck with astonishment.

He saw the Hai Jie True Monarch already trapped in a crescent moon seal, trapped tight!

"Humph!"

The cold laugh of Lei Bian True Monarch came, yet daring to be distracted while fighting against a Nine Tribulations True Monarch.

In the next moment, as he and You Yu True Monarch’s combined strikes severely injured the Thunder Horn True Monarch, causing him to spit blood, one thunder net after another appeared from all directions, covering him one after another.

The Thunder Horn True Monarch destroyed one thunder net, while more nets covered him being.

In just one breath of time, the Thunder Horn True Monarch’s already injured Lifebound Killing Artifact was shattered, his physical body turned directly into charred remains, and his Divine Infant barely managed to escape.

At the same time, the Six Tribulation Hai Jie True Monarch broke free from Xu Jin’s crescent moon.

In the desperate situation, a glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the Thunder Horn True Monarch, hoping the Hai Jie True Monarch could rescue him.

Return to the Star Hall.

As long as they return to the Star Hall, there still might be a chance.

But at the moment the Six Tribulation Hai Jie True Monarch broke free, the sword light of You Yu True Monarch first struck his head.

With one strike, his Lifebound Killing Artifact was cleft, dispersing its starlight, even the Body Protective Starlight was mostly collapsed.

Bang!

A terrifying, blood-thick Chaos Thunder Gang at that very moment poured upon the head of Hai Jie True Monarch.

The timing was exquisitely perfect!

In the face of unexpected chain attacks, the exploding chaos-colored thunder light was like soup on snow, directly blasting the body of Hai Jie True Monarch into wisps of blue smoke, and his second Lifebound Killing Artifact instinctively tried to protect its master, only to be dimmed and retracted back into the body.

His Divine Infant fled.

Once again, under the sword light of You Yu True Monarch and Xu Jin’s Little Chaos Thunder Gang’s strike, the Divine Infant of the Six Tribulation Hai Jie True Monarch was instantly reduced to a wisp of blue smoke and dispersed.

A True Monarch Blood Crystal thus dropped out.

This scene, Thunder Horn True Monarch witnessed entirely.

Hope had just risen, only to be snuffed out in an instant.

The despair in the heart of the Seven Tribulations Thunder Horn True Monarch was beyond description at that moment.

There was no hope at all!

In despair, even his resistance became futile momentarily.

Lei Bian True Monarch’s Rule Dao Skill Thunder Nets continuously overlayed and instantly erupted.

The Divine Infant of the Thunder Horn True Monarch, already whittled down by several layers, didn’t even let out a sound of a scream but also dissipated into a wisp of blue smoke.

At the moment the True Monarch Blood Crystal appeared, there was also a mass of Heaven and Earth Authority.

"Senior Brother, you were a bit slow there!"

Having already dragged out Hai Jie True Monarch’s Sumeru Space, Xu Jin approached and laughed.

"You rascal!"

Lei Bian True Monarch laughed, beginning to expedite the drawing of Thunder Horn True Monarch’s Sumeru Space, sighing quite a lot in his heart.

He had slain many True Monarchs.

But like today, so cleanly, efficiently, swiftly, it’s only the third time!

Three breaths!

In no more than three breaths’ time altogether, they had cleanly dispatched a Seven Tribulations and a Five Tribulations, with not a person on their side harmed!

It seemed that being with Little Junior Brother made everything incredibly smooth!

Could it be that Little Junior Brother truly is the great fortune wielder as Master said?

Previously, Emperor Fenghua had mentioned it off-handedly, and he didn’t quite believe it.

But now, he couldn’t help but think in that direction!

"Senior Brother, the Tenth Rank and Ninth Rank elites over there are still gathering, but have just started. Now is the perfect time to charge in!" Xu Jin laughed and said.

"Good!"

In the next moment, Xu Jin, Lei Bian True Monarch, and You Yu True Monarch instantly transformed into three streams of light and rushed towards the Hai Fen Star Hall where the elites were gathering.

Amidst the flickering starlight, Xu Jin disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already above the Star Hall.

The Space Moon Eclipsing Divine Power merely flashed, and the body of a Star Monarch was cleaved in half!

The next moment, Lei Bian True Monarch and You Yu True Monarch struck simultaneously, like tigers among a pack of wolves, there wasn’t an enemy among the elites that could last a single bout!

At this moment, with no top experts to restrain the three of them, the Hai Fen Realm was already like fish on the chopping block!
