Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 614 - 253: It’s Revenge_2

"If we get first place, our Cangming Star Hall will be able to reach new heights in the next three years..."

*****

Doom-suppressing Star Palace.

The Doom-suppressing Star Lord, wearing a green robe, was looking sternly at the several elders below, "Remember, aim to keep the third place, vie for the second if possible, but don’t over-accumulate points."

"My lord, I don’t quite understand. With the strength we have been accumulating over the years, why not unleash it all at once? If we did, we could definitely take second place, and perhaps even have a shot at first.

The difference in annual allocations from the Star-picking Tower between first and third place is a full ten percent.

That ten percent could feed millions more of our citizens.

Feeding millions more, how many more supplies could we gather?

And birth countless geniuses..."

"Enough!"

The huge Barbarian Clan’s Fifth Elder, Shou Shan, was abruptly interrupted by the Doom-suppressing Star Lord.

This brain...

It was only because of Shou Shan’s extraordinary combat prowess that he was qualified to be an elder at all.

"Stick to the strategy! Another word, and you might want to take my place as Star Lord?" the Doom-suppressing Star Lord said ominously.

Shou Shan hurriedly expressed his reluctance.

However, the Doom-suppressing Star Lord, looking at his eight subordinated elders, saw that four of them looked bewildered. He couldn’t help but explain again with some resignation, "The Lingji Star Hall’s example of being forced to lock their hall after a massacre is a lesson you all should firmly remember!"

It couldn’t be helped, there weren’t many among the Barbarian Clan with sharp minds.

But there were advantages.

They were easy to manage, without too many thoughts, and were each loyally committed.

A command given, and they followed it ferociously.

Charging headlong!

*****

Within the Third Tier Sand River Star Domain, Xu Jin casually tossed the recently acquired Earth Series Sand River Heart into the Sumeru Space.

Refining it would take time; for now, he would keep it and slowly refine it later.

Participating in the Lougong Battle and venturing into star domains to acquire more Third Tier Heaven and Earth Wills was an important goal for Xu Jin.

Xu Jin had realized through his long cultivation journey that the majority of strengths, whether Star Power or Divine Soul Power, could eventually be reached with enough time, especially below the Seventh Tier Lower Cultivation Level.

In essence, it was just a matter of time.

Of course, those who cultivated faster and improved their cultivation levels earlier had a bit more of an advantage.

But, ultimately, the gap would be closed, unless they continued to breakthrough.

However, there was one type of hard power that inherently had massive disparities.

For example, the Red Scale Heart and Thunder Feather Heart Xu Jin had previously obtained.

These forces, a transformation of the Heaven and Earth Will of their respective Star Domains, could only be obtained by a very few.

Once obtained, they provided a permanent boost.

For example, Xu Jin’s Initial Tier Red Scale Heart wouldn’t contribute much to power enhancement once he surpassed the Sixth Tier, but it still provided an uptick.

Now, Xu Jin’s Initial Tier Red Scale Heart had been upgraded to a Mid-tier Red Scale Heart.

And a Mid-tier Red Scale Heart could increase one’s strength by several percentages, even at the Seventh Tier.

This was an advantage that, once gained, might be insurmountable.

Because this type of power couldn’t be acquired through regular cultivation.

Like Xu Jin, who could currently dominate the Third Tier Star Domain, once he broke through to the Fourth Tier, he wouldn’t be able to enter the Third Tier Star Domain so easily anymore, and thus he wouldn’t be able to acquire the Heaven and Earth Will of a Third Tier Star Domain as effortlessly.

Xu Jin’s Cultivation Level was already at the Ninth Layer Peak of Third-level Star Refining, and after the Nine-star Tide, he planned to seek a breakthrough.

By then, he would no longer be able to enter the Third Tier Star Domain.

Hence, he wanted to collect several Third Tier Star Wills during this opportunity.

Afterward, he would not have such a chance.

Now, one representing the Earth Series Heaven and Earth Will, the Sand River Star, was in his hands.

But this still wasn’t enough.

In the very next moment, a small hand formed from Earth Series Star Power precisely extracted the Fourth Tier Upper Earth Spirit Star Core from the blown-apart corpse of the Sand River King.

With a slight turn of the Candou Platform, Xu Jin threw in the Fourth Tier Upper Earth Spirit Star Core, appointed a Ritual Officer, glanced at the available Protection Star Pattern, and swapped it out again.

His guess was correct.

The Protection Star Patterns obtained from Star Cores harvested from kings within a Star Domain tended to be of higher Rank.

The Protection Star Pattern of this Fourth Tier Upper Earth Spirit Star Core was a Mid-tier Earth Origin.

While the several Fifth Tier Earth Spirit Star Cores Xu Jin had obtained from an auction previously only conferred Initial Tier Earth Origin Star Patterns. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

This was also one of Xu Jin’s objectives.

A Mid-tier Earth Origin Star Pattern was equivalent to two or three Initial Tier Earth Origin Star Patterns.

Xu Jin had an idea; he wanted to collect at least four to five of the same category, such as Earth Spirit or Fire Spirit or Thunder Spirit Star Cores, with at least one Mid-tier Earth Origin Star Pattern or Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern.

Then at a crucial moment, mount all four Earth Spirit Star Cores or Fire Spirit Star Cores and choose the Mid-tier Earth Origin or Mid-tier Fire Origin protections.

Instantly stacking four layers of BUFF.

What level of enhancement would his Earth Series or Fire Series Star Skills reach at that time?

Or perhaps, when his Candou Platform upgraded to a Fifth Tier or Sixth Tier, he could stack five to six layers of such BUFFs directly onto himself.

The explosion of power in that instance would be immense!

Such a sudden disparity would certainly catch enemies off guard, causing them to suffer a tremendous loss.

They might even pay with their lives.

Below, inside the Sand River Royal City, chaos had ensued.

Fear enveloped the city.

Their king!

The king they had revered as a Heavenly God was slain!

Killed by an invading Alien Race as if slaughtering a chicken!

This caused their faith in their power to collapse on the spot!

Even if the invader had fought their king for a while before defeating him, their faith wouldn’t have crumbled!
