Now, Xu Jin has only obtained one-tenth of the Star Power and Heaven and Earth Authority of his natal star, and can at most mobilize one-tenth of the Star Power to strengthen himself.

But what if he obtains them all?

How strong would that be?

For a moment, Xu Jin felt that his future self would be terrifyingly strong.

If he continues to cut down, having acquired the full Heaven and Earth Authority of the Spiritual Brilliance Star Realm, don’t say the peak of Ninth Rank, even a Tenth Rank Star Monarch, Xu Jin is confident he can slay.

Of course, it’s not everything.

In the inheritance left by Seven Kills True Monarch, the Star Killing Skill in the Small World is unrestricted, but in the Middle World and Great World, there is one point to always remember.

When using the Star Killing Skill to obtain more than forty percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority of his natal star, or when using the Star Killing Skill long-term but unable to acquire Heaven and Earth Authority, he must be cautious about the onset of the killing tribulation.

Similarly, in the Star Suppressing Skill passed down by Emperor Fenghua, there is similar advice.

Be cautious of the killing tribulation.

Moreover, as cultivation level improves, the killing tribulation is inevitable.

The stronger the chosen natal star, the stronger the killing tribulation.

In comparison, Emperor Fenghua’s introduction to the killing tribulation is more extensive, but still doesn’t specify what the killing tribulation is!

When the time comes, Xu Jin really needs to ask Emperor Fenghua, what exactly is the killing tribulation.

How strong will the killing tribulation of the star of such a level in the Great World be?

...

After two sticks of incense, the high-level leaders of the real-world reassembled in the conference hall of the Commander Mansion.

Yet, the seating arrangement had changed.

Xu Jin still sat at the main seat, but Cangming Star Lord voluntarily left the two main seats and sat to the sides.

Meanwhile, the previously spirited Cangming Star Lord now subtly exuded a sense of old age.

This battle dealt a heavy blow to Cangming Star Lord.

As for the authority, there were no unnecessary words.

Before the war, they had already sworn the Great Dao Oath.

Accept the loss with grace.

Now, they need only heed Xu Jin’s commands.

But before commanding the heroes, Xu Jin first looked at Dahong’s Commander, Xiahou Shen.

"Marshal Xiahou, I hope you can contact Tianyang Star Lord now. If he comes, there’s still time!

As for his injuries and such, they don’t affect much." Xu Jin spoke directly in front of everyone.

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Shen’s Adam’s apple moved nervously, nodding, "Mr. Xu, I’ll contact him."

At this hour, calling him Mr. Xu was entirely different.

Previously, it was just basic courtesy.

Now, it is out of awe.

During the wait, Cangming Star Lord’s eyes flickered.

At this moment, he somewhat hoped Tianyang Star Lord would return.

To suffer losses, it’s better if everyone does, so he would feel balanced.

Just over ten breaths later, Xiahou Shen somewhat helplessly shook his head, "Mr. Xu, my Star Lord said it is a critical moment, he can’t come over, once this period is over, he will come over immediately."

Xu Jin’s eyes flashed coldly, this Tianyang Star Lord truly is an old fox.

But does he think not coming will allow him to escape it all?

"Ask your Star Lord again, I want to command all the armies and elites on the Galaxy Battlefield, what’s the stance of Dahong’s armies and Tianyang Star Lord’s elite forces, give me a clear reply." Xu Jin and Tianyang Star Lord don’t have direct contact.

"Yes, I’ll ask right away."

"Tell him, he’d better think carefully before answering." Xu Jin sneered.

This is Tianyang Star Lord’s last chance.

Otherwise, after things here are settled, Tianyang Star Lord will be the first he accounts for.

Dahong’s Commander Xiahou Shen stood solemnly, quickly re-contacting Tianyang Star Lord.

Ten breaths later, Xiahou Shen’s face showed extreme difficulty, looking helplessly at Xu Jin and the others.

"Mr. Xu, fellow Star Lords, I’m sorry, my Lord said he’s not here, no one is on the battlefield to oversee Dahong’s sons, commanding my Dahong sons and Tianyang Star Hall’s elites to adhere to his previous tactics, firmly holding the fortress and route guarded by Dahong for the people of the real world, defending the Eight Wastelands frontline, not retreating a single step!" Xiahou Shen said.

This is indeed a regrettable decision.

Upon seeing this, Xu Jin said no more.

"I hope your Star Lord won’t regret today’s decision in the future."

Xu Jin only intends to integrate.

The next operations, with Dahong involved, would save some effort and reduce losses.

But Dahong not coming, would still be adequate.

Xiahou Shen’s expression was awkward, he was helpless too, but it was Tianyang Star Lord holding the authority now, and from his reason, there is no rebuttal.

"Palace Master Chi, has there been any contact with Sumeru Palace?" Xu Jin asked.

"Contacted, but they said due to the recent loss of their Palace Master, the palace is unsettled, they won’t accept outsiders for mourning rites, once the new Palace Master receives the inheritance and assumes position, Sumeru Palace will send people to serve on the Galaxy Battlefield." Wood Spirit Palace Master said.

"Alright, the Sumeru Palace Master died for the people of the real world, I planned for everyone to mourn, to boost morale."

In Sumeru Palace, the fallen Palace Master is honored with imperial rites, the body must be kept for at least three months before burial.

Time is almost up now.

Unexpectedly, Sumeru Palace is not welcoming.

Xu Jin had to abandon the plan.

Considering the recent loss of their Palace Master, having so many experts visiting might indeed be intimidating.

Especially since Xu Jin had some intentions to acquire the Space Image Star Pattern from Sumeru Palace.

Of course, Xu Jin’s intention was a trade.

Using other precious treasures like Seventh or Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicine, or Divine Dao True Intent, or Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures to trade for the Space Image Star Pattern.

But now it seems, there’s temporarily no chance.

But it’s no problem.

After the battle here ends, Xu Jin can personally visit Sumeru Palace or through the Wood Spirit Palace Master to seek a trade for the Space Image Star Pattern.

Absolutely must not resort to force.

In any case, the Sumeru Palace Master also died fighting for the people of the real world!

"Since that’s the case, let’s make a battle plan according to the current situation, however, the plan will be mainly based on me..."

...

Xu Jin’s battle plan was simple and direct.

But it involves mobilizing numerous troops, so the details need careful arrangement.

The high-level leaders of the real-world human clan held a closed-door meeting for two days to draft a preliminary battle plan.

Although the battle plan is set, starting the full-scale counterattack would still require several days.

The army’s movement, especially fighting into the Eight Wastelands frontline, isn’t something that can be accomplished merely by issuing a military order.

There are many preparations needed.

Especially in joint operations.

The soonest would be three days later to complete all preparations.

After returning to Guard City No. 20, National Master Cheng Yuxiao became extremely busy, but before getting busy, he handed over the Primordial Spirit of the captive Dahong Emperor Yang Yun to Xu Jin.

"Former Dahong Emperor Yang Yun said he has important intelligence to tell you, he is only willing to speak to you, you should have a chat with him; it doesn’t seem like a deceit."

"Important intelligence?"

Receiving the Primordial Spirit of Dahong Emperor Yang Yun, Xu Jin was puzzled.

Important intelligence?

But thinking about it, considering Dahong Emperor Yang Yun’s position, it’s possible he knows some crucial intelligence.

It’s worth a listen.

Just not sure what terms he might propose.
