Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 2105: Chapter 909: Extraordinary Divine Skills

He made up his mind, for such a stupid subordinate, a lesson was definitely in order.

Otherwise, once he took charge of the vanguard scout team, who knows what kind of trouble he might stir up!

Tao Tianqiang had no idea that the True Monarchs and Star Lords watching, with those sympathetic looks as if observing an idiot, were all looking at him!

Three days ago, when their Great Saint was still the Star Monarch, he single-handedly slew a Seven Tribulation True Monarch and the Silver Wing Clan’s Six Tribulation Space True Monarch.

The one standing here now is merely a Five Tribulation Space True Monarch!

All that can be said is... unlucky!

Encountering a freak like the Great Saint!

"Mr. Tao, how about this, I’ll make one move, and if you can break it within five breaths, I’ll consider myself defeated!" Xu Jin was mainly worried that the one in front of him couldn’t withstand it!

Space True Monarchs are often somewhat fragile; if they lose mobility, their threat greatly diminishes.

Moreover, now that his cultivation level had broken through to Star Monarch, the greatest shortcoming in his cultivation had been remedied, and his attacks were frighteningly strong.

"Humph, five breaths! You can make your move, if within one breath I haven’t broken it, consider me defeated!" Tao Tianqiang said.

"Alright then, Mr. Tao, watch closely."

In the next instant, the fluctuation of Divine Soul and Star Power flashed slightly on Xu Jin’s body, and simultaneously, a majestic spatial wave rose around Tao Tianqiang.

In an instant, a golden crescent moon manifested out of thin air, trapping Tao Tianqiang within.

"Divine Skill!"

Tao Tianqiang’s face changed, feeling a bit overconfident, but only slightly.

The gap in cultivation level was evident here.

Immediately he exerted all his strength to activate the Space Star Technique and strike!

After one hit, it didn’t budge.

In the next instant, Tao Tianqiang directly activated his strongest Space Rule Dao Skill—the Eight Desolations Sky-breaking Slash.

And still, it didn’t move!

In a flash, Tao Tianqiang started to panic!

In a drastic change of expression, Tao Tianqiang began to frantically activate the Space Rule Dao Skill to continuously strike.

One strike, ten strikes, eighteen strikes.

Only after the eighteenth strike did the golden crescent moon restraining him disappear.

Tao Tianqiang’s expression became extremely awkward.

One could describe it as both shocked and embarrassed.

But when he looked toward Xu Jin, he found that Xu Jin along with Zhu Linxiao had disappeared without him knowing.

"Mr. Tao, my Divine Skills can be used offensively and defensively! On the Star Ruins Battlefield, such enemies are abundant, be more cautious in battle." As Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Transmission entered his ears, Tao Tianqiang felt both shocked and surprised, yet relieved.

Shocked that Xu Jin’s Divine Skill could be both offensive and defensive.

If the defense was that formidable, if used offensively, wouldn’t that strike have injured him gravely?

Surprised that Xu Jin had left directly, which meant he wouldn’t dwell on the matter, sparing him from much embarrassment!

Both Mr. Guan and Nian Qinggui, the two guardians, seasoned individuals, upon seeing Tao Tianqiang’s look, immediately came over to defuse the situation.

"Mr. Tao, you needn’t be this way! Our Great Saint possesses extraordinary divine skills! Just three days ago in the Star Surge battle, he slew a Seven Tribulation True Monarch from an alien race and two Six Tribulation True Monarchs!"

"What? He can even slay a Seven Tribulation True Monarch?" Tao Tianqiang was astonished, "Mr. Guan, why didn’t you mention such a big deal to me?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Guan chuckled, thinking to himself, he wanted to, but he had to be given the chance, right?

Simultaneously, Vice Guardian Nian Qinggui also came forward saying, "Mr. Tao, one of the Six Tribulation True Monarchs our Great Saint slew was a space Six Tribulation True Monarch of an alien race, the Silver Wing Clan, and he also slew three Mid-tier Space True Monarchs."

"Hiss!"

The sound of inhaling sharply came from Tao Tianqiang as he gazed at the True Monarch Hall where Xu Jin resided, full of shock!

Now, he was somewhat grateful.

Grateful that he hadn’t been too arrogant.

Otherwise, today wouldn’t merely be embarrassing but would involve injury too!

The ability to slay a Silver Wing Clan Six Tribulation True Monarch essentially meant having the capability to slay him!

This Great Saint, just who is he, to be so terrifying?

...

With Xu Jin having subdued the edge of this Five Tribulation True Monarch Tao Tianqiang, the upcoming welcome banquet found Tao Tianqiang much more compliant and sensible, significantly toned down.

During the banquet, when Mr. Guan mentioned the position of captain of the vanguard scout team, Tao Tianqiang earnestly refused, repeatedly saying he dared not, and wasn’t qualified.

He insisted that Great Saint Xu Jin should be appointed instead, as he dared not take the position.

"Mr. Tao, worry not about Great Saint, his heart lies in cultivation, taking over the position will make him happier, as long as during action you communicate more with him and impose less restrictions, everything will be fine," Vice Guardian Nian Qinggui persuaded.

Thus, the Five Tribulation Space True Monarch Tao Tianqiang assumed the captain position, while Lin Bowei became the vice-captain.

In the Enlightenment Hall, Xu Jin was discussing cultivation matters with Zhu Linxiao.

"Lin’er, what’s your confidence level in achieving True Monarch status with your current breakthrough?"

Zhu Linxiao, under Xu Jin’s time acceleration, had enlightened for two days, which externally equated to ten days of intense cultivation.

But the actual gains were greater than what she had achieved in one or two years of diligent cultivation before.

Mainly because Xu Jin directly induced the wind element True Monarch Blood Crystal from the Can Dou Star River reflection, allowing her to comprehend the Law Path at lightning speed. With the aid of the Combat Lamp Domain enveloping and assisting her enlightenment, her cultivation efficiency reached about seventy percent of Xu Jin’s level.

Within just two days, the newly comprehended Law Paths had exceeded six.

This was equivalent to her gains over sixty years.

Even being the Eldest Princess of the Yutang Royal Mansion, she had never extravagantly cultivated with True Monarch Blood Crystals.

The Blood Crystals her husband had were aplenty, like sweet candies.

While using Can Dou Star River to demonstrate True Monarch Blood Crystals to assist Zhu Linxiao’s cultivation, Xu Jin discovered another use for Can Dou Star River: it could slowly restore the Origin Power within the True Monarch Blood Crystals.

In other words, as long as Xu Jin returned the True Monarch Blood Crystals to the Can Dou Star River before their Origin Power was completely depleted, the power within them would gradually replenish.

Of course, this recovery rate was measured in years; however, under the illumination of the Time Law Star, it was different.

"Husband, my newly crafted Lifebound Suppressing Artifact is very strong, I reckon I have about sixty to seventy percent confidence in achieving True Monarch status!" Zhu Linxiao said.

"Only sixty to seventy percent? From which aspects can your probability of achieving True Monarch status be enhanced?" Xu Jin asked.

After pondering, Zhu Linxiao replied, "Husband, achieving True Monarch status requires withstanding the Great Dao Thunder Tribulation. Besides having a strong main cultivation, the stronger the two auxiliary Lifebound Suppressing Artifacts, the higher the probability of enduring the Great Dao Thunder Tribulation. If I can integrate an Innate Treasure Material, the probability can be raised by half a percent, and comprehending another complete Law Path can also increase it by half a percent."

"I see, that’s simple!"

As he spoke, with a flip of Xu Jin’s palm, Zhu Linxiao’s delicate eyes widened.

"Husband, so many treasures, I don’t..."

The next instant, Xu Jin’s eyes widened, "Take what I give you and use it! Haven’t slept... with a True Monarch yet!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Linxiao’s cheeks flushed as her heart fluttered, taking the three Chaos Elemental Materials and the four Innate Treasure Materials Xu Jin provided, namely wind, water, one of fire, and only one of space.

"Husband, the wind Chaos Elemental Material has already been refined into one..."

"Strengthen it further!"

"Mm." As Xu Jin’s tone just rose slightly, Zhu Linxiao immediately nodded.

"You hurry and refine, Lin’er, I need you to achieve True Monarch status in the shortest time possible!" Xu Jin said.

"I understand!" Zhu Linxiao nodded and immediately began to fully refine these treasures.

Seeing Zhu Linxiao wholeheartedly refining these top-tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Xu Jin nodded slightly.

The reason he’s investing all efforts, even at great cost, to nurture Zhu Linxiao, is solely for one purpose: the Abyss Domain Divine Power, which must be utilized.

Zhu Linxiao is currently the best candidate.

Others, using it occasionally is fine, but long-term use is clearly unfeasible.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin also resumed demonstrating True Monarch Blood Crystal cultivation; he too needed to completely enlighten and demonstrate all the True Monarch Blood Crystals in his possession within a short period.

But just after less than half a day of enlightenment, Xu Jin was startled awake by the enormous commotion on Changxing Star Island!
