Chapter 2020: Chapter 866: Special Treatment for the First Merit
Mr. Guan and that Seven Tribulation True Monarch seized the chance to counterattack. That Nine Tribulations True Monarch, furious, also went all out, but at the instant of his eruption, the golden crescent rose again.
His attack rhythm was broken once more!
"Hahaha, what a Divine Skill!"
Mr. Guan laughed loudly, erupted again, and directly blasted the Nine Tribulations True Monarch Chize back, making him retreat and spit blood.
The Nine Tribulations True Monarch Chize locked his gaze tightly onto Xu Jin. Suddenly, the red light around him contracted, and he vanished on the spot.
Xu Jin’s eyes moved, and he also disappeared in place.
"Hey, get your ass out here!"
Mr. Guan roared as both his hands turned incomparably golden. He thrust out fiercely, as if reaching into the void itself, and directly dragged out the Nine Tribulations True Monarch who had just used Space Movement, intending to launch a sneak attack on Xu Jin.
Boom!
The Ice Rule Dao Skill slammed in again!
This time it hit him right in the head, a perfect direct strike.
With a cracking sound, the red dragon horn on Nine Tribulations True Monarch Chize’s head was directly blasted off. Amid his wretched screams, the Nine Tribulations True Monarch Chize could only retreat helplessly.
Watching the retreating Nine Tribulations True Monarch, Mr. Guan burst into loud laughter. "Xu Jin, if we can bring back this Star Realm Fragment today, you get the first merit!"
Xu Jin smiled and very cautiously backed off to the side of the group of True Monarchs.
That Nine Tribulations True Monarch had already locked onto him; he had to be careful.
Ten breaths later, in the distant field of view, a large Alien Race force appeared: more than ten True Monarchs and over a hundred fifty Star Lords Experts were surging over in force, with the heavily wounded Nine Tribulations True Monarch at the very front.
At the same time, all the Starships of the main combat external support squad had arrived. Over a hundred Star Lords Experts leapt out one after another, saying nothing as they fell in behind their respective True Monarchs, injecting Star Power as they began to fully capture the Star Realm Fragment before them.
The eruption of a Tenth Rank Star Monarch’s power definitely couldn’t compare to a True Monarch’s, but sheer numbers made up for it.
The full eruption of over a hundred forty Star Lords made the entire Star Realm Fragment feel like it was conducting electricity, rippling with ring after ring of Star Power waves.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Guan and that Seven Tribulation True Monarch, who had just withdrawn, also erupted their Star Power at full force, joining the capture sequence.
"Just a little more, we’re joining too!"
Lin Bowei shouted, leading five Vanguard Scouts as they instantly joined the capture sequence. Xu Jin also charged over, imitating them and sending in his Star Power.
His Star Power was like merging into a surging torrent. This torrent, like a bursting mountain flood, like raging river water, was crashing against the barrier ahead that blocked it.
With every collision, that barrier weakened a bit. At this moment, ripples on the barrier were growing denser and denser.
In the distance, with Starlight flashing, the Nine Tribulations True Monarch Chize had already brought his main force to within a hundred li.
But at that very moment, the rippling Starlight on the Star Realm Fragment shattered like an illusion. As thick Star Power surged at them, Xu Jin’s ears rang with Mr. Guan’s excited roar: "Onto the island!"
Everyone rushed onto the Star Realm Fragment the first instant, and Xu Jin charged in as well.
At the moment he rushed in, an indescribable sense of familiarity washed over him, like he’d come home. On all sides, Star Power was overflowing.
Most crucially, this Star Realm Fragment possessed three complete Law Paths. Right now, within Xu Jin’s perception, they lay bare and wide open, as if he could call upon their power at any time.
Two were of the Earth Series, one of the Wood Series.
"Hahahaha, we did it! Brothers, get ready to kill!" As Mr. Guan laughed, his Lifebound Killing Artifact had already fused as one with the entire Star Realm Fragment. His aura soared, and the other True Monarchs and Star Lords followed suit, each of them calling upon the Law Paths on the Star Realm Fragment, their auras starting to skyrocket.
Xu Jin tried it as well and immediately discovered something strange.
His Divine Thought could actually temporarily mobilize the Law Paths on this Star Realm Fragment, just as if they were his own Enlightenment, using them to boost the power of his Star Skills.
Not only that, when he mobilized them, he could also to a certain extent draw upon the Star Power contained within the Star Realm Fragment to empower his Star Skills.
Xu Jin roughly estimated that this could increase the power of his Earth Series Star Skills by about thirty percent, while the Wood Series only by twenty percent.
Everyone here had this kind of state!
The degree of Combat Power augmentation on their side was different too.
Overall Combat Power was raised by twenty to thirty percent.
The key was, Star Power on the Star Realm Fragment was abundant; they could greatly recover at any time, anywhere.
Whereas for the Alien Race in the Star Ruins Sky, if they fought, their Star Power would always be in deficit.
Xu Jin now somewhat understood the advantage of capturing a Star Realm Fragment in advance.
Seeing the Human Clan forces boarding the Star Realm Fragment, the hundreds of Aliens charging over clearly became much more cautious; their speed slowed.
They began circling the Star Realm Fragment, attempting probing attacks.
But Mr. Guan had already made his arrangements.
He hovered in the high sky above the Star Realm Fragment, constantly adjusting the layout and formations.
This Star Realm Fragment was about two hundred li long and a hundred fifty li wide. As long as the team command was proper and they held a certain advantage, they could completely deny the enemy any chance to rush up.
After attempting to charge for 15 minutes and losing four heads, the Alien Race force had no choice but to circle and then pull back, forming squads to search in all directions.
Only that Nine Tribulations True Monarch Chize kept his gaze locked onto the Star Realm Fragment, and whenever his gaze swept past Xu Jin, it was full of killing intent!
At the same time, Mr. Guan began directing everyone to use Star Power to tow this Star Realm Fragment.
The Star Realm Fragment began to move slowly, then kept accelerating. After 15 minutes, it was like a Meteor, flashing with Starlight as it shot toward Changxing Star Island.
And that Alien Race wave of figures completely disappeared from sight.
"We did it!"
"We did it!"
"Hei, we did it!"
"Five years, we’ve finally captured another Star Realm Fragment!"
"Hahaha, exactly, five years and three months, and we finally opened shop again! This time, everyone’s earned Great Merit!" Mr. Guan roared in excitement. "However, the first merit this time belongs to Xu Jin!"
Everyone turned their eyes toward Xu Jin, each one looking at him with envy.
First merit!
In the army, that was a completely different level.
The military merit gained from first merit and the share of benefits were the greatest.
And your seniority became the firmest.
"Hei, a newcomer Scout getting first merit—how did he get it? Tell us, will you?" Four Tribulation True Monarch team leader Xiao Ji Yong asked in puzzlement.
"What, you punk doubting my words?" Mr. Guan suddenly swung around and glared at him.
Xiao Ji Yong shook his head repeatedly in explanation. "I’m just curious, just curious!"
"Then shut up. When the military merits are reported later, it’ll be written clearly! Right now, let our first merit enjoy his benefits first!" Mr. Guan said.
Everyone’s gaze turned to Xu Jin, but Xu Jin was a bit dazed, completely clueless as to what was going on.
"Go, hurry to the very center of the Star Realm Fragment. Just do exactly as I say—this is a huge benefit!" Mr. Guan said.
