Chapter 926: Chapter 371: Battle Between the Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm and the State Preceptor (Part 2)
Suddenly, he vaguely sensed the presence of thunder in the distant clouds.
Originally, Xu Jin could only sense the omnipresent Star Power surrounding him, but now, he could clearly perceive the pitifully scarce Thunder Element Star Power among it.
With a slight thought, Xu Jin simultaneously activated the Thunder Origin Star Pattern and Thunder Image Star Pattern, immediately noticing a difference.
With the assistance of the Thunder Image Star Pattern, the speed at which Star Power within him was converted to Thunder Element Star Power through the Thunder Origin Star Pattern directly doubled.
Moreover, under the powerful perception of thirty-six Mingji Star Patterns, with the influence of the Thunder Image Star Pattern, the Thunder Element Star Power produced within him underwent a transformation.
The thunder attached to each strand of Thunder Element Star Power was twice as strong as before.
The most straightforward observation was that the electric arcs on each strand of Thunder Element Star Power had doubled in thickness.
And what about the Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm?
With a thought, Xu Jin fully activated the Thunder Image Star Pattern, which flickered and manifested a pitch-black thunder light, suddenly appearing and coiling at the center of the Thunder Image Star Pattern.
As it spun, the entire Thunder Image Star Pattern, including the Thunder Origin Star Pattern, subtly rippled.
This?
Xu Jin was somewhat astonished.
To consolidate a thunder pool, one would need a hundred strands, enabling both the refinement of the body and enhancement of Thunder Element Star Skill power?
It would take over three months to accumulate.
"First, let’s test the enhancement of Thunder Element Star Skill’s power."
In the next instant, Xu Jin thought again and re-entered the Star-picking Secret Realm, directly challenging the Gold Star Level Heart Demon.
At the moment the secret realm light and shadow faded, Xu Jin burst forward explosively, immediately using Shock Dream to control the Gold Star Level Heart Demon.
At the next moment, Xu Jin activated Thunder Origin Star Pattern and Thunder Image Star Pattern, invoking Third Tier Thunder Series Law to perform the Star Skill Fire Cloud Divine Thunder!
Boom boom!
The Fire Cloud Divine Thunder moved at lightning speed and instantly unleashed two strikes.
As the two Fire Cloud Divine Thunders struck down, the Gold Star Level Heart Demon was directly blown to dust.
Xu Jin’s expression was both surprised and delighted.
The enhancement of power was indeed substantial!
Despite the rapid sequence, under the perception of thirty-six Mingji Star Patterns, the sense was exceptionally clear.
The second Fire Cloud Divine Thunder used only half of its power before the Gold Star Level Heart Demon was slain!
Double boost!
The Eighth Tier Lower Thunder Image Star Pattern directly doubled the power of Thunder Element Star Skills!
A few breaths later, Xu Jin immediately began challenging the Bright Star!
At the start of the challenge, Xu Jin forcefully took a hit from the Gold Star Level Heart Demon, then a Fire Cloud Divine Thunder struck the Gold Star Level Gatekeeper.
Under the full defense of the Gold Star Level Gatekeeper, this strike of Fire Cloud Divine Thunder directly turned the Gold Star Level Gatekeeper into ashes.
Power indeed doubled!
With Thunder Image Star Pattern’s support, Sky Gang Thunder Chain Shield’s defensive power also doubled.
The Gold Star Level Heart Demon could withstand three strikes before shattering.
But during the activation of Sky Gang Thunder Chain Shield, or rather during the activation of Thunder Element Star Skills, Xu Jin noticed the Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm at the center of Thunder Image Star Pattern seemed restless.
It felt as if he could draw it out with merely a thought.
Xu Jin decided to test it.
After all, it could gather one strand of Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm each day.
In the next moment, when Xu Jin launched Fire Cloud Divine Thunder at the Gold Star Level Heart Demon, he directly triggered the strand of Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm.
With just a thought, the strand of Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm merged into the Fire Cloud Divine Thunder.
Instantly, the crimson Fire Cloud Divine Thunder carried a heart-throbbing harmony, with an implicit, endless oppression emerging.
Boom!
The Fire Cloud Divine Thunder, infused with Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm, descended.
Xu Jin’s eyes widened abruptly.
The Gold Star Level Heart Demon struck by it was obliterated into a wisp of blue smoke, leaving behind a pile of ashes!
"This power..."
After obtaining Thunder Image Star Pattern, Fire Cloud Divine Thunder’s power doubled, requiring one and a half strikes to kill the Gold Star Level Heart Demon.
Now, after merging with Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm, just one strike did the job.
A single strand of Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm seemingly enhanced the power of Fire Cloud Divine Thunder by at least fifty percent!
This amplification!
A wonderful Star Skill!
Worth it!
Simulating Thunder Image Star Pattern is highly worthwhile!
Even though a Bright Star was used to reach Eighth Tier Lower with Thunder Image Star Pattern, it remains highly worthwhile.
As light and shadow flickered, another Bright Star was acquired.
Previously, when simulating Thunder Image Star Pattern, ten Silver Stars, one Gold Star, and one Bright Star were used.
This time, breaking through the Star-picking Secret Realm led to acquiring two Gold Stars and one Bright Star.
Xu Jin now possessed nine Gold Stars, with five Bright Stars, his quantities of Gold Stars increasing rather than decreasing.
After exiting the Star-picking Secret Realm, Xu Jin contemplated another matter.
The Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm was so powerful, yet only one strand could be condense daily.
If more Thunder Image Star Patterns were engraved, could more strands of Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm be gathered?
Test it!
Immediate testing of this idea is essential.
As for the Star Core position, it’s irrelevant.
After all, the two large Star Palaces contain seventy-two Star Cores, testing and using up half would still leave him with exceedingly more than others.
In the next moment, Xu Jin randomly selected a Star Core, began engraving Thunder Image Star Pattern for testing.
*****
In Wanyi, at the National Taoist Institute of Dachen Country.
State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao, who had just returned from the Galaxy Commander Mansion meeting secret realm, convened a high-level meeting of the National Taoist Institute again.
This plan to counterattack the Ancestral Land Cave Heaven is extremely important.
Some matters he needed to assign and clarify in advance.
This included preparing and strengthening the Sixth Tier and Seventh Tier forces, for which he now had to ready the candidates and enhance their training!
While discussing with Left Libationer Meng Yanhui and others, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao’s expression suddenly tensed, he abruptly stood up, looking towards the distant sky, as a majestic Divine Soul aura began to rise slowly.
