Chapter 2046: Chapter 880: Destroying His Hard Work

[Great Saint, have you had any enmity with this Zou Shan?]

[No.]

[Or does your family have any old grievances? This Zou Shan hails from the Great World of Tongxuan Domain.] Mr. Guan asked again.

[No.]

This was even more impossible. Xu Jin hadn’t even visited the Great World of Tongxuan that many times, let alone having been in the Dongxuan Star Realm for only a year and a half.

[That’s quite strange. I feel Zou Shan is being rather deliberate today, as if he’s intentionally trying to thwart you.

If not, then the purpose of Zou Shan’s actions today could only have two possibilities: one is to prevent you from gaining greater merits, and the other is to probe your depth.

However, I think it’s more likely that he’s here to stop you from achieving more war merits. During the Imperial Palace’s Saint Heir selection, there are plenty of underhanded tactics.]

Because the Imperial Palace’s Saint Heir, especially the Emperor’s Direct Disciple, involves the rise and fall of large families over millennia.

Great Saint, today you mustn’t hold back, you have to prove yourself, shake this person’s defense, and definitely seize the top merit!] Mr. Guan reminded Xu Jin.

[Hei, I’ll do my best.]

After responding, Xu Jin was slightly taken aback.

Hei’s reminder about enmity and the possible underhanded tricks in the Imperial Palace’s Saint Heir selection was actually nothing new.

What alerted Xu Jin was another possibility Hei mentioned: probing!

Before Hei reminded Xu Jin, Xu Jin already found this odd.

Even Bai Changshan, the guard, acknowledged Xu Jin had earned the foremost merit, and suddenly Zou Shan, such a blockhead, emerged to oppose this within half a day.

What is the point?

But right then, Mr. Guan’s words reminded Xu Jin.

Probing!

No one among the Six Tribulation True Monarchs stepped out, yet Zou Shan personally stepped in, and his purpose was to probe!

Who would be behind Zou Shan?

It certainly couldn’t be Bixuan, as Bixuan doesn’t have that kind of influence.

True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment?

Upon this thought, Xu Jin suddenly felt that his previous thinking needed a change.

Honestly, Xu Jin was truly angry.

So he wanted to take advantage of this test and exchange, to deliver a harsh lesson to Zou Shan.

Annihilate him?

Xu Jin didn’t have that confidence.

Xu Jin’s current strongest accomplishment was defeating the Silver Wing Six Tribulation True Monarch.

Theoretically, a Six Tribulation True Monarch of the Silver Wing Clan is equivalent to an Eight Tribulation True Monarch.

But this doesn’t mean that Xu Jin can annihilate an Eight Tribulation True Monarch.

This is actually just saying the difficulty in dealing with a Six Tribulation True Monarch specializing in space, and the difficulty in taking them down.

Xu Jin felt that, in his current situation, if he fully unleashed all his methods, he might be able to tackle a Seven Tribulation True Monarch.

Eight Tribulations, that’s too challenging.

If he releases power for an instant, breaking through the fellow’s defense, or even injuring him, causing this fellow’s great loss of face, that is achievable.

But now, Xu Jin changed his mind.

Certainly not abandonment.

But rather, to achieve the target while also concealing his power to a certain degree.

Absolutely can’t let this guy probe his depth.

While pondering, Xu Jin steadily approached within a thousand meters of the Eight Tribulation True Monarch Zou Shan, who was already prepared.

Xu Jin merely gave a light nod of his hand, without uttering a single word!

No way am I going to show you any respect when you’re acting this way towards me.

"Mr. Guan, start the clock, I’m going to attack!"

"Alright."

"Everyone step back!"

In the next instant, Mr. Guan shouted, "Two hundred breaths, start the clock!"

Almost simultaneously, Xu Jin’s Chaos Thunder Spear suddenly shot up into the sky, electric light flashing, releasing strands of thunder light.

The Eight Tribulation True Monarch Zou Shan also at this moment fully activated his defenses.

But the anticipated thunderous explosion didn’t happen.

Even though the void was filled with rolling thunder light, electric flashes, continuous thunder rolls, no thunder light descended.

As everyone wondered, overhead of this Star Realm Fragment, a large patch of thunderclouds, thunder light flashing, rapidly gathered, beginning to coalesce around Xu Jin’s Lifebound Suppressing Artifact.

Under Xu Jin’s activation, the thunderclouds kept gathering, the lightning within the cloud continuously weaving together, and in just over ten breaths, converged into a Thunder Snake the width of a child’s arm.

Then came the second one.

Everyone was astonished!

Yet Xu Jin continued to fully activate the Chaos Thunder Spear’s characteristic of summoning thunderclouds and commanding thunder.

This trait was rarely used.

Because the preparation time was too long, starting at dozens of breaths.

But if the preparation time was sufficiently long, then this trait would become terrifying.

Especially given Xu Jin’s current mastery of Chaos Thunder Spear and Thunder Law Path, where Xu Jin previously even comprehended a trait related to gathering thunderclouds.

Coupled with the Candou Platform’s enhancement, the power had long become incomparable to the past!

Since you’re so confident, Zou Shan, let’s see, Xu Jin wearing a cold expression.

Another twenty breaths passed, another Thunder Snake of a child’s arm’s width emerged, winding around Xu Jin’s Chaos Thunder Spear.

Opposite him, Zou Shan’s gaze sharpened, his expression becoming unpleasant.

His original intent was to probe.

But Xu Jin exploited loopholes in his requirements, gathering the power of heaven and earth to attack him.

In this way, how could he probe anything!

With the desire to add a condition at this point, but unkeen to lose face.

Even if he forcibly added a condition, it would only attract a chorus of boos, and in the future, he would become the joke among True Monarchs.

Zou Shan glanced at the Seven Tribulation True Monarch Wuo Feng, transmitting a message, "Could you speak up for me, start a conversation, add a condition?"

"How can we add one more? You want to be encircled by Changxing Star Island’s True Monarchs?" Wuo Feng stayed silent.

"But this way, the task the higher-ups gave, to probe, can’t be completed."

"You’ve already done your best. Besides, this does reveal some aspects." Wuo Feng transmitted back.

Zou Shan felt even more helpless.

At this point, the Lifebound Suppressing Artifact coiled around Xu Jin had already five Thunder Snakes on it, its aura multiple times stronger than at the beginning.
