Chapter 1121: KILL THE EMPEROR SCORPION! STUNNED ZHOU YUANWU!

After confirming Zhou Yuanwu's location.

Xu Jingming deliberately avoided that area and began slaughtering oceanic ferocious beasts!

For these oceanic ferocious beasts, whose ranks were generally only second or third tier.

The SSS-grade Chaos Doushen Shenlei, having already broken through to Starlight grade, was undoubtedly a catastrophic disaster.

They couldn't even react before being obliterated by lightning.

Precisely because of this, those ferocious beasts that had developed some intelligence.

Could not even transmit this news to the two Beasts Gods still searching for Zhou Yuanwu's trail.

Twenty-four hours later, Xu Jingming had already cleared one-fifth of the entire South Sea.

And the ability points accumulated on his system panel had once again reached over one hundred million!

Ability points -30 million!

Lightning Domain Fifth Level → Lightning Domain Sixth Level!

Ability points -50 million!

Lightning Domain Sixth Level → Lightning Domain Seventh Level!

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Jingming directly chose to allocate points, advancing the Lightning Domain continuously to Seventh Level!

Then he unleashed his maximum speed and flew toward the location previously indicated by Eva.

In the center of the South Sea.

A hundreds-of-meters-long Fenghuang soared through the air, occasionally opening its massive beak to spew forth streams of flame.

The scorching heat evaporated the surrounding seawater, turning the once pitch-black night sky as bright as daylight.

Countless oceanic ferocious beasts had perished, yet it did not stop.

To it, these were not kin—they were like ants to humans; no matter how many it killed, it didn't matter.

Deep beneath the sea, the Emperor Scorpion lurked underwater, continuously searching for Zhou Yuanwu's trail.

They had pursued Zhou Yuanwu all the way until entering this vicinity.

Zhou Yuanwu's aura had suddenly vanished, leaving no trace.

Having sacrificed one Beasts God yet still failed to kill Zhou Yuanwu, the Fenghuang was naturally furious.

If it could not devour Zhou Yuanwu, it would struggle to break through to Starlight Third Tier!

And deep beneath the sea, four hundred meters below the seabed soil.

There was a space, roughly two cubic meters in volume, recently excavated.

Zhou Yuanwu was covered in blood, clutching in his hand a strange pebble emitting a faint green glow.

Under the protection of the pebble's glow, his entire aura vanished, as he curled up there like an ancient tortoise.

This was a rare treasure he had obtained a century ago, before he broke through to the Supreme Tier.

It could completely conceal his aura; no matter how strong your spiritual force, you could not detect him.

It was precisely because of this rare artifact that he had escaped several life-or-death crises.

At that moment, his personal smart device suddenly spoke: "Chairman, the detector has registered Xu Jingming entering this area."

"Xu Jingming?!"

Zhou Yuanwu's tightly closed eyes snapped open.

Before diving underground, he had deliberately left several monitors on the seabed.

He intended to use these monitors to observe the movements of the two Beasts Gods, waiting until they left before emerging.

After all, he dared not release his spiritual force to scout—electronic signals from such monitors were less likely to be detected by Beasts Gods.

But he never expected that instead of the Beasts Gods leaving, he would receive news of Xu Jingming!

"Is he alone? Is anyone else with him?" Zhou Yuanwu asked urgently.

"No," his smart device replied briefly.

"No?!"

Zhou Yuanwu's pupils shrank sharply.

He had assumed Xu Jingming had come with Evelyn or Lei Ding.

Since neither was with him, why had Xu Jingming come here?

"Could something have happened in Great Xia, forcing him to come find me?"

"No, I must hurry to save him!"

Zhou Yuanwu's expression shifted rapidly.

Then he took a pill from his space ring and swallowed it in one gulp.

His previously sluggish aura surged instantly, and an unhealthy flush appeared on his resolute face.

This was a pill that unleashed latent potential.

Originally, the side effects of his Blood Shadow Escape Technique required a full month to fully recover.

Now, using this pill again would leave him far more severely injured once the effects wore off!

But for Xu Jingming, he had no choice.

"Go!"

Shhh—

Zhou Yuanwu's crimson blood aura erupted, surging upward at once.

On the sea surface, the Fenghuang also noticed Xu Jingming.

Unlike Zhou Yuanwu, whose aura could not be sensed by spiritual force.

The moment Xu Jingming appeared, the Fenghuang sensed his aura—distinctly different from a ninth-tier being.

"Has a new Starlight-class human appeared?"

Whoa—!!

The flames across the sky receded, and the crimson eyes of the Flying Phoenix fixed on Xu Jingming.

It naturally knew of this human from Daya, possessing terrifying talent.

But it never expected him to break through so quickly.

Splash splash~~~

The sea churned, and the massive body of the Emperor Scorpion rose from the depths.

A pair of crimson eyes were embedded in its hardened armor, gazing coldly at Xu Jingming.

Its sharp tail stinger lay hidden beneath the waves, ready to strike at any moment.

"Mere ants are still ants—how dare a newly broken-through Starlight Stage One defy the sanctity of our Sacred Clan!"

"You think you can rescue your Daya's Zhou Yuanwu? Dream on!"

The Flying Phoenix snorted, spat out a burst of fire reaching tens of millions of degrees Celsius.

Simultaneously, the Emperor Scorpion lurking beneath the sea struck—its razor-sharp tail stinger shot forward like lightning toward Xu Jingming!

And at that moment, Xu Jingming moved!

He immediately entered Lei Shen form and activated his Thunder Domain.

Boom boom boom—!!

The power of the seventh-layer Thunder Domain was incomparably greater.

The chaotic divine thunder swirling around his body boiled like molten metal, radiating dazzling black light.

The ferocious aura startled even the Flying Phoenix at a distance.

"Seventh-layer Thunder Domain? How is that possible?!"

As a Sacred Clan master of fire element, its own Flame Domain was only at the seventh layer too.

That was the result of decades of accumulation—even if humans' comprehension surpassed their beast-god kind.

But he's just a newly broken-through Starlight-class—how could he master such a terrifying domain?

"Kill!"

Ignoring the stunned Flying Phoenix, Xu Jingming, spear in hand, blurred forward.

A flash of black lightning—the massive scorpion tail was instantly severed by his sharp spear!

Boom!!!

The dozens-of-meters-long tail crashed into the sea, sending up waves.

But it wasn't over—Xu Jingming willed it, and the Brilliant Thunder Ring behind him spun wildly.

A black thunder dragon, over a thousand meters long, coalesced violently and swallowed the Emperor Scorpion whole!

'Ding, slain one Starlight Stage One Emperor Scorpion, Ability Points +20 million!'

A pleasant notification chimed in his mind; Xu Jingming felt no surprise.

The seventh-layer Thunder Domain, combined with SSS-grade Chaotic Divine Thunder, had already crushed the Starlight Stage One Emperor Scorpion.

Even a single SS+-grade Thunder Dragon Art could obliterate its immortal matter, preventing any regeneration.

Xu Jingming found this entirely natural, while on the other side—

Zhou Yuanwu, just emerging from the sea and witnessing this scene, froze in shock.

Dude, where's my huge Emperor Scorpion?

How did you just one-shot it?
