Chapter 251: Chapter 132 Breakthrough (Third update, asking for monthly passes)

To be honest, Xu Jin really hoped they would leave their main force behind and come after him alone; that would have made Xu Jin’s day.

Without a doubt, Xu Jin had created a time difference.

Even if reinforcements had arrived shortly after Xu Jin left the Fire Oak Tribe, the time difference Xu Jin had created was at least two hours.

The journey of two hundred li, for the main force of the Star Refining Realm, would take at least two hours.

In fact, when Xu Jin arrived in the vicinity of the Fire Separation Tribe and found a deserted place to start recovering his Star Power, Chi Dian had just led the assembled elites from four other tribes to the Fire Oak Tribe that Xu Jin had massacred.

Of course, Xu Jin had only slain the elites of the Star Refining Realm.

As for those in the Star Casting Realm, Xu Jin didn’t have the time or energy.

Slaughtering them would be a pure waste of Star Power given Xu Jin’s current time constraints.

Now, even the peak warriors of the Star Casting Realm from the Red Scale Tribe would fall to one Star Arrow.

For the First and Second Layers of the Star Refining Realm, with Xu Jin’s current Cultivation Level at the late period of the Star Casting Realm, two Star Arrows would suffice; for the Third Layer, two Star Arrows weren’t enough, and three quite wasteful.

Anything above the Third Layer would require a bit more effort.

Of course, there was a reason for Xu Jin’s strength.

Having undergone Purification nine times, Xu Jin already possessed Star Power almost similar to that of a common cultivator at the late period of the Star Casting Realm even before he began Star Casting.

During Star Casting, Xu Jin’s Star Palaces, both Central and Lower, were all of Super Rank, each over three inches in size.

Low-grade Star Core Star Casting yields twice the Star Power of the Dining Dawn Seventh Layer, Middle Grade yields three times, Top-Grade yields four times, and Top-Grade yields five times, so what about Super Rank Star Casting? It should be six times!

And most of the Red Scale Clan warriors were either of low-grade or middle-grade Star Casting; not to mention the disparity in Star Power at the Dining Dawn Seventh Layer, but even during Star Casting, Xu Jin’s Star Power was already twice or even three times theirs.

Besides, the base at the Dining Dawn Seventh Layer wasn’t the same either.

Theoretically, Xu Jin’s Star Power was about ten times that of a regular cultivator.

Furthermore, with the strong enhancement from the Sixth Layer of Refining Star for the Divine Soul Star, it’s no wonder Xu Jin found it hard not to be strong!

Inside the Fire Oak Tribe, Chi Dian’s face was ashen!

After making a round inside the entire Fire Oak Tribe, from the Clan Leader Chi Shuo down, all the Star Refining Realm had died in battle.

Forty-five Star Refining Realm warriors, not a single one alive!

This enemy was stronger and more terrifying than he had imagined!

Chi Dian couldn’t help but glance behind him; there, the elites from four other tribes had assembled, including four tribe chiefs.

There were one at the Eighth Layer, four at the Seventh Layer, six at the Sixth Layer, twelve at the Fifth Layer, and twenty at the Fourth Layer of Star Refining Realm.

These were the elite forces of the other four tribes.

Of course, Chi Dian believed that this was not the extent of the elite forces of these four tribes; for sure, they still had elite members staying behind to protect their tribes.

But against this genius from Dachen, these forces should be sufficient.

"Lord, we must move quickly, we can’t afford any more delays!"

Among everyone, it was Clan Leader Chi Li from the Fire Separation Tribe who was the most anxious.

Because the Fire Separation Tribe was quite far from the rendezvous point and had assembled quickly, Chi Li had been extra cautious and prioritized reaching the rendezvous point rather than providing direct assistance when he found out that the target was heading towards the Fire Oak Tribe.

For this, Chi Dian couldn’t fault him at all, because Chi Li had perfectly executed the Prince’s orders.

But now, it wasn’t clear whether Chi Li’s earlier actions had been a blessing or a curse.

If Chi Li had directly supported the Fire Oak Tribe, they might have been able to kill the enemy or they themselves could have been killed.

But at this moment, Chi Li was truly worried.

Because urgent messages from the Royal Court reported that the Red Scale Heart indicated that the target was already heading towards the Fire Separation Tribe.

But Chi Dian had his own thoughts.

He had already figured out that if he led the main force towards the Fire Separation Tribe now, they would just end up eating dust again.

They could only forever follow behind the enemy and eat dust.

Tactics must change.

Otherwise, Chi Dian might indeed become a sinner of the Red Scale Clan by personally watching one tribe after another get slaughtered.

So, where would this genius from Dachen strike next?

After looking at the map for a while, Chi Dian locked on to a target—the Fire Element Tribe.

It was highly probable that the next target of this genius from Dachen would be the Fire Element Tribe, which was closest to the Fire Separation Tribe.

Thus, all he needed to do was to go to the Fire Element Tribe to wait and trap the enemy, and then encircle and kill him.

Upon hearing that they were going directly to the Fire Element Tribe and not assisting the Fire Separation Tribe, Clan Leader Chi Li of the Fire Separation Tribe immediately objected, showing signs of wanting to leave with his tribe’s elite forces to assist on his own.

Chi Dian pointed at the body of the Fire Oak Tribe Chief, Chi Shuo, and said, "If you take these few people back now, you’re likely just delivering them to their deaths! If you want to end up like Chi Shuo, then go ahead!"

With that one sentence, Chi Li was frightened.

Chi Li wasn’t a fool to become a Clan Leader!

"But, Lord, my only son is still in the tribe; can’t we make a trip to our Fire Separation Tribe first?" Chi Li pleaded.

"Do you think I wouldn’t want to? But do you want to take a look at the Fire Oak Tribe? By the time we get there, your Fire Separation Tribe would have long been slaughtered, and then what? We’ll just keep on the move, watching as all five major tribes get butchered?

You must trust my strategy!"

With these words, Chi Li wasn’t the only one in a hurry; the other three tribe chiefs also became anxious.

This possibility was very real.

A few moments later, Clan Leader Chi Li of the Fire Separation Tribe, with a look of helplessness, glanced towards the distant Fire Separation Tribe, then with lots of looking back, followed Chi Dian towards the direction of the Fire Element Tribe.

His son was only one, but his own life was more important.

He was still in his prime; he could have more children!

And just as Chi Dian took the group of Star Refining Elites on a detour towards the Fire Element Tribe, Xu Jin, whose Star Power had just fully recovered, brazenly entered the Fire Separation Tribe.

The reason Xu Jin was so brazen was because he had already scouted out that this Fire Separation Tribe was very vulnerable.

There were twenty-nine in the Star Refining Realm, but most of them were in the Early Period.

Besides, there was one at the Sixth Layer, one at the Fifth Layer, and seven at the Fourth Layer.

All the way there, Xu Jin swaggered, launching Star Arrows flying straight into the main hall of the Fire Separation Tribe.
