Chapter 1077: Carnage! Ten Million Ability Points!

With the death of the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape, the powerful aura that had raged across heaven and earth vanished instantly.

Jiang Liwei was the first to react, staring in shock: "The Bloodthirsty Demon Ape was one-shot?!"

Given Xu Jingming's strength, he had no doubt the man could kill a Rank-9 Upper-tier King-level beast monarch.

But killing and one-shotting are entirely different concepts.

This means Xu Jingming's strength, compared to the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape, had reached a level of crushing dominance!

No! It was even more than crushing dominance!

After all, the Demon Ape possessed indestructible matter—even crushing-level strength required five or six consecutive strikes to eradicate it completely.

Xu Jingming's one-shot kill had far exceeded his understanding!

"The Demon Ape was killed?!"

The Flame Dragon King and the Azure Feather Divine Eagle far away also felt uncertain.

Before the peace agreement was signed, they had fought human Rank-9s before.

But outside the Supreme, not a single human had ever one-shot a Rank-9 Upper-tier King-level beast monarch!

More crucially, the two of them—one fire, one wind—had struck this human and inflicted zero damage.

He had withstood their attacks outright and killed the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape!

Something's wrong!

They instantly realized this.

This human before them was not as insignificant as they'd imagined—he was a towering tree!

"Roar—!!"

The Flame Dragon King let out a roar.

The surging beast horde below, moments from entering the battlefield, immediately turned and retreated backward!

Dozens of millions of ferocious beasts charged in unison—the scene was breathtakingly grand.

"The beasts are retreating!"

"Strike while the iron's hot! It's our turn now!"

"With Lei Di holding the line, what do we fear?!"

"......"

One by one, Rank-8 Grand Masters and Rank-7 Masters leapt from the walls of the Crimson Fortress and swiftly joined the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the Flame Dragon King and the Azure Feather Divine Eagle also flapped their wings and retreated backward.

The two Rank-9 Mid-tier beast monarchs entangled with Jiang Liwei and Ji Shulan likewise began withdrawing from the battlefield.

"So they're running already? I underestimated you."

Xu Jingming raised his thunderous eyebrows.

His Thunder Dragon Wings unfurled behind him, gave a slight beat, and he shot forward like a bolt of lightning.

Thus, Jiang Liwei and Ji Shulan witnessed this absurd scene:

Xu Jingming chased alone from behind, while the four beast monarchs fled frantically ahead.

"Has the beast assault been dismantled so easily?" Ji Shulan felt as if she were dreaming.

That was three Rank-9 Upper-tier King-level beast monarchs!

This configuration alone could destroy most nations on Blue Star!

Yet they were all driven back by Xu Jingming alone!

"Xu Jingming's strength is terrifying—he must have reached the Rank-9 Invincible level!"

Jiang Liwei also wore an expression of awe.

"Rank-9 Invincible?" Ji Shulan's pupils contracted.

Rank-9 Invincible was a title reserved exclusively for Rank-9 experts who had failed to become Supreme.

Those who reached this level were stronger than Rank-9 Peak, second only to Supreme!

On the entire Blue Star, no more than five Rank-9 experts bore this title!

Yet Xu Jingming was only 21 years old—and his rank was still only Rank-9 Mid-tier!

What if Xu Jingming broke through to Rank-9 Upper-tier? How strong would he become?

Could he stand against a Supreme?

Merely imagining it made Ji Shulan feel insane.

"It must be that level. But regardless, Xu Jingming has turned the tide this time.

After this battle, the entire Blue Star will go mad, and our Crimson Fortress will share in the glory."

Jiang Liwei's eyes gleamed faintly; unconsciously, he referred to Xu Jingming as "my lord."

There was no choice—Xu Jingming had brought the Crimson Fortress unprecedented honor.

He had slain a King-level Rank-9 Upper-tier beast monarch!

This had never been achieved on any frontline battlefield before!

Though Xu Jingming had merely come as a special envoy and they had contributed nothing, the feat had occurred on Crimson Fortress territory.

With this accomplishment, across all of Great Xia's battlefields, they stood alone.

More crucially, Xu Jingming will likely slay more than one beast monarch from now on!

"Let's go—follow my lord and continue the pursuit."

Jiang Liwei's body blurred, turning into a streak of light as he flew after Xu Jingming.

Ji Shulan, seeing this, hurried after him.

Azure Feather Divine Eagle, a King-level Rank-9 Upper-tier beast monarch that controlled wind elements.

Renowned as possessing the fastest speed in the world, even capable of enhancing the Flame Dragon Emperor.

Even with the Thunder Dragon Wings, Xu Jingming could not catch up at all.

So he settled for the next best option, slaying the other two mid-tier ninth-rank beast emperors.

He then ceased pursuit and turned back to clear the beast tide.

Compared to the Flame Dragon Emperor and the Azure Feather Divine Eagle, the vast numbers of the beast tide clearly granted him more ability points.

Without the ninth-rank beast emperors to guide them, the beast tide had already collapsed into disarray, scattering in all directions.

Yet under Xu Jingming's Lei Tianlao Yin technique, no matter how far they fled, they could still be easily obliterated...

Five hours later, the distant sunset cast down like dripping blood.

Xu Jingming's towering figure stood in midair, the high-altitude gales rustling his battle robe.

The ground beneath his feet resembled terrain scoured by countless intercontinental missiles.

Black electric arcs flickered intermittently.

Not just here—within a forty- to fifty-kilometer radius, it was all the same.

Under his clearance, fully four-fifths of the massive beast tide had been eradicated!

A small portion had been handled by Jiang Liwei, Ji Shulan, and other legions.

Most were slain by him alone, and correspondingly, his gains were extremely abundant.

"Deep Blue."

He silently murmured the name, and a pale blue virtual interface appeared in his mind.

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: Ninth-Rank Mid-Tier

【Abilities】: Chaos Divine Thunder (SSS-Rank), Ancient Primordial Azure Dragon (SSS-Rank)

【Physique】: Blood Qi (+)

【Spirit】: He (+)

【Skills】: Spear Technique (Perfected), Fist Technique (Master+, +), Starlight Thunder (SSR-Rank, Beginner+, +), Purple Micro Eye (SSR-Rank, Beginner+, +)......

【Body Cultivation】: Threefold Divine Thunder Indestructible Body (SSR-Rank, Eleventh Layer+, +)

【Spirit Refinement】: Lei Hai Contemplation Method (SSS-Rank, Eighth Layer+, +)

【Domain】: Thunder Domain (Third Layer+, +)

【Ability Points】: 15.641 million

The ability points gained from this annihilation of the beast tide were undeniably abundant.

"Pity those two upper-tier ninth-rank beast emperors got away—otherwise, I could've gained another two million or so ability points," Xu Jingming mused inwardly.

Yet unfortunately, the fifteen million plus ability points were still insufficient to level up from ninth-rank mid-tier to ninth-rank upper-tier.

"Since I can't level up, I'll first invest in the SSR-Rank Spirit Refinement technique and the SSR-Rank battle skill Thunder Roar Thousand Blades Slash."

For ability users, level was undoubtedly the top priority.

But for Xu Jingming, who held over ten million ability points, investing in Spirit Refinement and battle skills should not require many points.

Moreover, as long as he remained on the frontlines, he had no shortage of ability points.
