Chapter 1131: Contemplate the Annihilation Branch! Awaken the Destruction Domain!

With Eva's permissions, Xu Jingming easily entered the U. S. national treasury and obtained the Holy Spirit Elixir.

The elixir was stored in a glass vial, its entire body glowing emerald green.

When he pulled the stopper, a scent like fresh grass rushed toward him.

"Eva, how long does it usually take to comprehend an upper-level cosmic law?"

Swirling the vial in his hand, Xu Jingming asked.

"Most people can never comprehend it in a lifetime; even slightly talented ones need hundreds of years."

Of course, there are rare races born already comprehending upper-level laws."

"For example, my elf race's Moon-Silver Elves are born with mastery over the Life Law, one of the Four Upper Laws, and upon adulthood, they can grasp the true Life Law."

Eva shook her head as she spoke.

"Elves are divided into different clans?" Xu Jingming was surprised.

"Of course. My elf race once ruled over more than a dozen star systems."

"Our population numbers in the trillions; different star systems naturally gave rise to different clan branches."

Eva proudly puffed out her flat chest.

"So that's how it is. If I can master the Destruction Domain, my talent is still quite decent in the cosmos."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly, then immediately took out the Annihilation Branch from his space ring.

He swallowed the Holy Spirit Elixir whole and began his contemplation.

Su Qingli and Ling Shuang also followed Eva's instructions, ingested their resources, and entered cultivation.

The Holy Spirit Elixir was truly an SSR-tier resource—immediately doubling his comprehension after consumption.

The fragments of the Destruction Law embedded in the Annihilation Branch were no longer incomprehensibly obscure to Xu Jingming.

Half an hour later, when the elixir's effect faded, he reluctantly set down the Annihilation Branch, feeling hollow and lost.

The sensation was unbearable—it was like a top genius regressing into an ordinary person.

His understanding of the Destruction Law fragments once again became obscure and difficult.

Xu Jingming glanced at his system panel: after creating the SSR-tier combat technique "Thunder Prison Thousand Chains," he still had 37 million ability points remaining.

But he did not perceive any point-allocating option for the Destruction Domain.

"Still, it's close enough—just one final push away."

"Thirty-seven million ability points aren't enough. I need to gather more."

Glancing at Su Qingli and Ling Shuang, who were immersed in cultivation, Xu Jingming did not disturb them.

He flew directly out of the treasury toward the Atlantic Ocean nearest to the U. S., preparing to hunt oceanic beasts to gather the final ability points.

Just as Xu Jingming set out for the Atlantic Ocean,

his battle with Evelyn spread across the internet, causing a massive uproar!

"Is this real? Didn't Lei Di just finish his inauguration? How did he end up in the U. S.?"

"There's video proof—how could it be fake?"

"Lei Di is too arrogant—he dared attack the U. S. Pope? What is he trying to do? Spark a human civil war?"

"Hmph. The Great Xia people have too much ambition. The Supreme Beings must unite to restrain them!"

"......"

As soon as the video surfaced, every nation began debating, with the vast majority voicing condemnation.

After all, the beast threat still hadn't been eliminated, yet humans were turning on each other—this was deeply unpopular.

The Great Xia government had naturally anticipated this.

In response, they released footage of Zhou Yuanwu, severely wounded, being attacked by Evelyn and Charlotte together.

Instantly, public opinion online flipped entirely.

Everyone began condemning Evelyn and Charlotte's actions.

Great Xia's netizens were especially furious, storming the official accounts of the U. S. and the EU to curse them as shameless.

If Lei Di hadn't broken through to Supreme Being status in time, Great Xia might now be a vassal of these two nations.

But compared to these rumors, the Supreme Beings of every nation were far more concerned with Xu Jingming's power.

"He just broke into Starlight Stage One and held his own against Evelyn—Xu Jingming is truly monstrous!"

In Russia, Supreme Being Artur furrowed his brow deeply upon receiving the news.

More critically, Zhou Yuanwu of Great Xia was only severely injured—he didn't die.

Once Zhou Yuanwu recovers, Great Xia will have two Starlight Stage Two combatants!

They could easily overpower nations without any Starlight Stage Two Supreme Beings.

"Although Xu Jingming attacked the U. S. due to old grudges this time,

there's no guarantee that after Zhou Yuanwu recovers, he won't turn on our nations."

"We must prepare in advance—contact other Supreme Beings, ideally form an alliance."

Thinking this, Artur pulled out his phone and dialed another Supreme Being.

Not just him—even Supreme Beings from Heizhou and India shared the same concerns.

Upon receiving Artur's call, they all chose to cooperate.

They formed a loose alliance: if Great Xia ever attacks any one of them,

the other nations' Supreme Beings must come to their aid.

Xu Jingming, far away in the Atlantic, had no idea his actions had just birthed a Supreme Being alliance.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care—a bunch of dirt-chickens and clay-dogs.

Ants gathered together are still ants—the only difference is whether you crush them with one finger or one palm.

Among the supreme beings of Starlight Stage One, all except Emers chose to join the Alliance.

As for why Emers did not join, it was because Artur never contacted him.

The man is Xu Jingming's teacher; when Zhou Yuanwu was severely wounded, it was Emers who held the line for Daya.

Xu Jingming would never strike against Emers, so Artur naturally wouldn't embarrass himself.

He also contacted Evelyn of Starlight Stage Two and Flame Divine Sovereign Lei Ding.

The former, as Xu Jingming's slave, naturally would not agree to join.

The latter, as always, was arrogantly confident, stating he had no need for an alliance.

"So what if I'm Starlight Stage Two? My strength firmly surpasses his—he dares to move against me?"

Flame Divine Sovereign Lei Ding was very confident in his own strength.

At this moment, he was still immersed in studying the fake Embrace of the Fiery Sun he had traded from Zhou Yuanwu.

"My teacher's elemental weapon shouldn't be completely useless."

After more than a month of research with no results, Lei Ding had gradually lost patience.

"Try once more—if not, go straight to Xu Jingming." A ruthless glint flashed in Lei Ding's eyes.

His teacher was a supreme being of Starlight Stage Three.

And now he himself had reached the peak of Starlight Stage Two, just one step away from entering Starlight Stage Three.

The inheritance of the Embrace of the Fiery Sun was extremely important to him.

If this Embrace of the Fiery Sun was confirmed fake, then the real one must still be in Xu Jingming's hands!

"I hope you didn't lie to me, otherwise..."

Lei Ding muttered softly, then sank once more into his study of the Embrace of the Fiery Sun.

On the other side, Xu Jingming had already gained forty million ability points in the Atlantic in just four hours!

At the same time, the ability point allocation he had longed for—the Destruction Domain—finally appeared on his system panel.

Without hesitation, he immediately selected the allocation!

Ability Points -70,000,000!

Destruction Domain → Destruction Domain (First Layer)!
