Chapter 1990 - 849: Seizing First Place Again and Harvests

Chapter 1990: Chapter 849: Seizing First Place Again and Harvests

This left Yu Kun Emperor and the others in the Saint Selection Camp somewhat surprised.

The one whose expression remained the steadiest was actually True Monarch Tianzhang.

He was very satisfied with Xu Jin’s performance at this moment.

Top ten—this was a ranking that no candidate from the Dongxuan Star Realm had ever achieved before.

"One Tribulation True Monarch Star Spirit!"

On the fourteenth peak, Xu Jin’s expression instantly turned grave, and he began taking things seriously.

Although the Guard Peak Star Spirit on the fourteenth peak was only one, and only a One Tribulation True Monarch, it was still a True Monarch-level expert.

Then it was trapped by the crescent moon condensed from Xu Jin’s Moon Eclipsing Divine Power.

For a full sixty breaths, this One Tribulation True Monarch Star Spirit still failed to break free.

With the Eight Stars Combined Thunder Gang plus Shattering Star, it was easily sent away.

What surprised Xu Jin was the Starlight left behind after he slew this One Tribulation True Monarch Star Spirit.

The instant his Divine Thought sank in, it was actually no longer fragmented Heaven and Earth Star Will.

But a complete Origin Rule.

This delighted Xu Jin greatly.

If he could seize this into the Origin Stars of his Candou Platform, wouldn’t the Candou Platform’s Origin Stars grow by multiples upon multiples?

But after probing for a few breaths, Xu Jin realized he was overthinking it.

Within this fully manifested set of Origin Rules, there were eleven Law Paths contained, more like providing a complete catalog.

He could only choose one Law Path among them to enlighten.

As long as his Divine Thought sank into a certain Law Path, that Law Path would be available for Xu Jin to comprehend.

Entering Xuanxin Mountain under normal circumstances should be like this.

But at this moment, that Law Path could only last a maximum of two hundred breaths.

Yet for Xu Jin, that was enough.

Xu Jin chose a nearly unfamiliar Earth Law Path; the Heaven and Earth Star Will contained inside had as many as eight strands that were completely unfamiliar.

The gains were still quite good.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin stepped onto the fifteenth peak; the Guard Peak Star Spirits were two One Tribulation True Monarchs.

He erupted and slew them.

The Guard Peak Star Spirit on the sixteenth peak was a Two Tribulations True Monarch.

The seventeenth peak had two Two Tribulations True Monarchs.

The eighteenth peak had a Three Tribulations True Monarch.

When he slew this Three Tribulations True Monarch, Xu Jin still did not use the Chaotic Star Gang stored inside the Chaos Cloud Tower; instead he used the Chaotic Star Gang condensed from the Chaos Star Power within the Chaos Star Tower itself, combined with Stacking and Shattering Star, plus Moon Eclipse jointly to finish the kill.

At this moment, Xu Jin’s score had reached two hundred and eighty points.

And just as Xu Jin stepped onto the nineteenth peak, he suddenly discovered that the few names in the top ten of the ranking board had all dimmed; that meant they had already been eliminated from Xuanxin Mountain.

[First place: He Moyu, two hundred and eighty-five points.]

[Third place: Xiang Yan, two hundred and seventy-five points.]

[Fourth place: Ling Fei, two hundred and seventy-five points.]

...

Judging from points alone, Xu Jin could not tell how many peaks He Moyu had reached, but Xu Jin estimated at least fifteen peaks, and at most no more than eighteen peaks.

"Looks like my wool-shearing has about reached its limit, but that’s fine too."

The two Three Tribulations True Monarch-level Guard Peak Star Spirits on the nineteenth peak brought Xu Jin immense pressure; he had no choice—against the first Three Tribulations True Monarch he could only trigger five hundred strands of Chaotic Star Gang to erupt and instantly kill.

The Four Tribulations True Monarch on the twentieth peak was even more difficult.

If the Tai Xu Heart Inquiry Platform could be used, it would be a bit easier; unfortunately, the Tai Xu Heart Inquiry Platform couldn’t be used.

After sixty breaths, Xu Jin used Chaotic Star Gang in coordination with Moon Eclipse to erupt and blast the Four Tribulations True Monarch Star Spirit to death.

When his score reached three hundred points, as he leapt to first place, Xu Jin stepped into the twenty-first peak.

His opponents were two Four Tribulations True Monarchs.

In this battle, Xu Jin brought out all his ordinary means; eight Suppression Artifacts flew up and down, blocking the attacks of the two Four Tribulations True Monarchs for over a hundred breaths, and in the end he was blasted and eliminated.

If Xu Jin had fought without regard for the cost and erupted with everything, he could have passed the twenty-first peak, but there was no need.

*****

In the Saint Selection Camp, all the candidates, True Monarchs, and Emperors were staring at that name on the star curtain in the sky; especially the few heirs of Emperors—their expressions were even more complicated.

"Three hundred points—just how many peaks did this Xu Jin reach?" Xiang Yan asked.

"At least sixteen peaks, at most eighteen peaks; he shouldn’t have gone beyond nineteen peaks." Ling Fei deduced.

"It should be on the seventeenth peak or above; I got two hundred and eighty-five points and stopped at the seventeenth peak." He Moyu said.

"What’s the point of guessing so much? Why don’t we just ask him directly?" Ji Wei of the Golden Rhinoceros Corps laughed, turned his head to look at Xu Jin who had just fallen out of Xuanxin Mountain, and said, "Brother Xu, I am Ji Wei. I’m very curious—how many peaks did Brother Xu reach?"

Xu Jin, having just come out, still had his Divine Thought sunk within his Candou Platform, tallying up his gains from this round.

This time, the Heaven and Earth Star Will he had harvested was quite abundant, reaching a total of one hundred and seven strands.

It could be said he had reaped a bountiful harvest.

If he added them all into a single Origin Star, the progress would be great.

Spread across eight Origin Stars, the improvement didn’t look that big, but it allowed Xu Jin to see hope for further advancement.

[Fire Element Origin: Initial Tier (38)][Earth Element Origin: Initial Tier (36)]

[Water Element Origin: Initial Tier (24)][Wind Element Origin: Initial Tier (30)]

[Wood Element Origin: Initial Tier (23)][Gold Element Origin: Initial Tier (28)]

[Thunder Element Origin: Initial Tier (49)][Space Origin: Initial Tier (18)]

Just then, hearing someone call him, Xu Jin withdrew his Divine Thought, cupped his hands and smiled, "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ji. This time I barely managed to pass the seventeenth peak!"

Upon hearing this, all the Emperor’s disciples were utterly shocked!

On the surface, it didn’t look like he differed from them by that much.

Several of them had all passed the sixteenth peak, but none had passed the seventeenth.
