In the grand hall, Zi Hao looked at Zi Chi and Zi Ying as they opened their eyes one after another, his eyes brimming with pleasant surprise.

Just as the two of them had shown expressions of pain, Zi Hao had thought of killing Xu Jin, suspecting that Xu Jin might have deceived him.

But after only a short ten breaths of time, the two recovered.

"How is it?"

"Your Majesty, the subordinate has successfully completed the Divine Separation, but the power of my Divine Soul, including its origin, has been thoroughly weakened by one-tenth," said Zi Chi.

"The same for me," said Zi Ying, who had just undergone Divine Soul Star Casting, but appeared even weaker!

Zi Hao, upon hearing this, was overjoyed.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent! As long as it was successful, that’s all that matters!

You two, you are great heroes of the Purple Wing Clan!"

"After each of you takes four top-grade Rejuvenation Pills, go and rest," Zi Hao said.

After expressing their gratitude, Zi Chi and Zi Ying then left.

Subsequently, Zi Hao instructed the guard that no one was to disturb him and began his own cultivation.

By this time, the sky had already darkened.

When Xu Jin saw Zi Chi and Zi Ying emerge, he immediately sensed the change in their Divine Souls.

They were clearly weakened.

It seemed they had succeeded in the Divine Separation.

What delighted Xu Jin the most was that the two of them left on their own, likely to rest and recover.

This brought great joy to Xu Jin.

The presence of these two Mid to Late Period Star Condensation guards here had posed a significant trouble for Xu Jin.

Xu Jin estimated the distance, sensed and observed the surrounding guards, planning his final move.

In this side hall and the main hall opposite, there were currently three Fourth Tier guards, two at the Second Level of Star Condensation and one at the Fourth Layer.

There were twenty guards in the Late Period of Star Refining.

And these were only within two hundred meters.

Outside of the two-hundred-meter range, there was at least one Fourth Tier guard, and there were a dozen or more guards in the Third Tier of the Star Refining Realm.

Within the entire Royal Palace, there should be no more than ten guards of the Fourth Tier, but not fewer than six.

There were many more guards in the Star Refining Realm, starting from a hundred.

Xu Jin paid close attention to his sensing, adjusted his own state, and made battle plans.

His optimal combat time was only two breaths.

The moment of Divine Separation Secret Technique’s success, which entailed the splitting of the Divine Soul, would be an absolute weak period, lasting only two breaths.

After two breaths, he would be able to react.

But it would only be a reaction. The intense pain and weakness of the Divine Soul couldn’t be overcome simply by gritting one’s teeth.

It’s like your body has lost sensation; no matter how hard you clench your teeth, your body is still numb; it has to recover after a while to regain feeling.

Within five breaths was Xu Jin’s best timing to act.

And after ten breaths, Zi Hao would have mostly recovered.

But the greatest difficulty for Xu Jin was the concentrated presence of three Fourth Level Star Condensation Experts.

The most threatening was the one at the Fourth Layer of Star Condensation.

With ample time, Xu Jin calculated each possibility, planning every step.

An hour.

Two hours.

Two and a half hours.

Suddenly, the Mingji Star Pattern of the Lower Star Palace within Xu Jin trembled slightly, and at the same moment, strong Divine Soul fluctuations emanated from the grand hall diagonally opposite!

"He must be starting the final step of Divine Soul Separation!"

Almost instantaneously, Xu Jin headed straight for the doors of the grand hall.

As he opened the doors of the grand hall, the Second Level Star Condensation guard who had always been stationed there sensed something, and looked at Xu Jin with a vigilant face.

"Sir, His Majesty has commanded that you cannot..."

In the next instant, a tremendous surge of Divine Soul power violently burst forth.

Breaking Evil!

Simultaneously, flames erupted fiercely at the moment when the Second Level Star Condensation guard screamed and covered his head.

Flame Burst!

Caught off-guard, he was directly killed by Xu Jin with a blast to the head.

Star Refining Realm guards from all directions, including the two Fourth Tier guards from the opposite grand hall, instantly turned their attention toward Xu Jin.

Boom!

The sound of a thunderous explosion echoed, and before those Star Refining Realm guards could react to attack Xu Jin, beams of Thunder Light had already exploded beneath Xu Jin’s feet. Thunder Wings appeared behind him, and he vanished on the spot.

Mid-tier Thunder Wing.

Thunder Burst Step!

The Thunder Light burst right at the doorway to the grand hall where Zi Hao was.

"Protect His Majesty!"

The instant the roar sounded, two Fourth Tier guards had already moved to attack Xu Jin in the blink of an eye.

But Xu Jin simply flicked his hand and threw a Blade Wheel!

At the same time, Breaking Evil burst forth!

Flame Burst!

The terrifying Blade Wheel hurtled towards the Fourth Layer Purple Wing Guard, and although it was only a Third Tier Top-Grade Emblem, after Xu Jin’s Nourishment, it possessed considerable killing power even against Fourth Tier Star Condensation Experts.

The Fourth Layer guard, roaring in anger, was bombarded with flashing Thunder Light, struggling against the Blade Wheel hurled by Xu Jin.

As for the guard at the Second Level, who hadn’t even undergone Divine Soul Star Casting, he was naturally gravely injured by Xu Jin’s Breaking Evil, screaming in agony as Flame Burst immediately blew his head apart.

Instant kill!

In the very next moment, before the attacks of the assorted guards in the Star Refining Realm could land on him, Xu Jin had already pushed open the doors of the grand hall and charged inside.

Barely two breaths of time!

In the grand hall, Zi Hao, who had just completed the Divine Soul Separation, found it difficult to open his eyes as Xu Jin burst in!

Without any hesitation, Xu Jin threw out the Fourth Tier Dawn Emblem.

Xu Jin had no intention of fighting directly against the Ninth Layer Peak-level Zi Hao.

He aimed to use the Nourished Dawn Emblem to directly bombard him!

Dawn Radiant Light instantly exploded around Zi Hao at the center.

But at the moment of explosion, Zi Hao’s pair of Purple Wings, already covered with Thunder Light, folded in to tightly protect himself.

At the same time, a Thunder Light Shield was raised.

Also rising was a dull earth-colored ridge-shaped giant shield.

Earth Ridge Giant Shield!

A Fourth Tier defensive Emblem!

Zi Hao actually possessed a Fourth Tier defensive Emblem, something Xu Jin had not anticipated.
