Inside the Star-picking Tower, Xu Jin was suddenly greeted by a flash of starlight before his eyes.
[Xu Jin, the Second-tier Fire Radiant Star Domain will soon open. Once inside, please be cautious of your safety. If you encounter a life-threatening situation, immediately crush the Jade to return.]
In the next instant, the Star Gate before Xu Jin’s eyes began to spin, and the Jade in his hand started to flash.
Stepping forward, Xu Jin was engulfed in a magnificent spread of starlight. Countless starlights floated between heaven and earth; it felt as if he was strolling through the galaxy. In the next moment, Xu Jin’s figure swiftly descended into a red star.
The confusing starlight before his eyes suddenly became clear.
It was a plain, a red plain.
The temperature had to be quite high, the air he breathed was tinged with a faint burning sensation. However, under the power of Star Power, Xu Jin quickly alleviated the discomfort.
In the next instant, Xu Jin felt an intense concentration of Star Power.
Star Power was everywhere, pressing in on him like a squeeze, rushing into Xu Jin’s body. In just a brief breath, it restored the bit of Star Power he had used up.
Indeed, the concentration of Star Power inside this Second-tier Fire Radiant Star Domain was three times that of the current world.
According to Ning Yuchan, the concentration of Star Power in a First-tier Star Domain is twice that of the current world’s average, whereas a Second-tier Star Domain is three times.
That’s why it was a good place for Star Casting.
Of course, it’s not to say that the current world’s concentration of Star Power isn’t up to par.
According to Ning Yuchan, in many places of the current world, the concentration of Star Power is extraordinarily high, but most of these places are owned, and it is difficult for most people to enter.
Therefore, for Star Casting, the inside of a Star Domain is the best.
As for where the Star Domains come from, Ning Yuchan had also explained part of it to Xu Jin.
They are little star worlds, conquered and controlled by Dachen from the Galaxy Battlefield, collectively known as Star Domains.
However, controlling and refining these small star worlds is extremely difficult.
As far as Ning Yuchan knew, the number of Star Domains Dachen had under control was not many, primarily First-tier, as Second-tier Star Domains were rare.
As for Third-tier Star Domains, according to current public information, Dachen had not conquered and controlled a Third-tier Star Domain.
Difficulties in conquering and controlling Star Domains are related to the restrictions of the Star Domain’s Star Gate and the current world’s level of Star Gate construction.
A First-tier Star Domain is not just Dachen, but also various nations and Star Halls. They control and refine the most, which is largely due to the difficulty of constructing these First-tier Star Gates.
Now, Second-tier cultivators can enter and exit.
The higher-tier the Star Domain, the more difficult it is to construct a Star Gate.
Betwixt maintaining the stability of the Star Gate and its endurance, one must choose one over the other!
And in a Second-tier Star Domain’s Star Gate, only First and Second-tier cultivators can enter and exit.
Just as entering is, so is exiting.
It is both an attack and a restrictive protection.
In the distance, ten figures clad in Red Armor were swiftly running towards Xu Jin’s direction, shouting as they charged.
Each of these figures had reddish skin and even redder scales covering their cheeks.
This was the Red Scale Clan, among the Five Spirit Clan.
"Indeed, an external evil demon, kill!"
The ten Red Scale Warriors, just at the sight of Xu Jin, encircled him.
The leader of the group was at the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn, the other nine members all being below the Fifth Layer of Dining Dawn.
Xu Jin didn’t rush to attack; instead, he calmly waited for these Red Scale Warriors to approach.
Being new to this place, he needed to personally ascertain the real combat power of these Red Scale Warriors, to facilitate subsequent battles and Star Casting.
As they came within three meters, the leader of the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn threw a punch, casting a fireball straight at Xu Jin.
Xu Jin still didn’t move and simply erected a Star Shield, letting the fireball crash against it.
The Star Shield violently trembled for a moment but didn’t break.
In the next moment, Xu Jin stood still, and with a flick of his ten fingers, nine Star Arrows flew out, instantly killing the other nine Red Scale Warriors.
The only remaining Red Scale Warrior froze momentarily, then with a mournful cry, "Evil demon, I’ll fight you to the death!"
Flames ignited on his long sword, slashing madly at Xu Jin.
Xu Jin didn’t dodge; he raised the Star Shield, connected several Fire Blades, then flicked another Star Arrow, directly blasting the warrior.
He now had a rough understanding.
The combat power of these Red Scale Warriors’ Star Skill and Star Weapon was slightly stronger than that of same-tier cultivators in the current world, possibly due to their flame attributes.
Yet Xu Jin could handle them easily.
In the next moment, Xu Jin eyed the high mountains in the distance and quickly swept over.
Along the way, Xu Jin continuously encountered small teams of Red Scale Warriors, and the combat power of the encountered teams was slowly increasing.
The team leaders gradually shifted from the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn to the Seventh Layer, and then to the Peak of the Seventh Layer.
No Star Casting Realm Red Scale Warriors had appeared yet.
According to Ning Yuchan, once one or two Star Casting Realm Red Scale Warriors appeared and were slain, Xu Jin could then choose a place for Star Casting.
This was also why only talented elites were chosen to enter either a First or Second-tier Star Domain for Star Casting.
Even though these First and Second-tier Star Domains were controlled and refined by Dachen, Dachen could only ensure that the strongest Domain Master of these Star Domains wouldn’t take action.
However, even the strongest Domain Master was only moderately strong.
This is due to the natural restrictions of a Star Domain’s Rank on the combat power of the native species within the Star Domain.
For example, in a First-tier Star Domain, the mainstream strength of warriors is below the Fifth Layer of Dining Dawn, and the top experts are of the Second-tier Star Casting Realm.
But the Second-tier of the Star Casting Realm is the upper limit of the species in a First-tier Star Domain.
Even with further Cultivation or living longer, they cannot break through to the Peak of the Star Casting Realm!
This is the limitation imposed by the Heaven and Earth they inhabit.
