Chapter 1144: Concentrating the Dharma Form! Complete Ultimate Lightning Ring!

In the depths of the Pacific, the dark seawater was as thick as ink.

This was the deepest part of the ocean, a forbidden zone where sunlight could not penetrate.

The seabed, once silent, now churned with hidden currents as several massive shadows converged from all directions.

"My lord, Xu Jingming has already slain three of our beast gods in succession.

Now he has unified all of humanity and is launching a siege against our Sacred Clan—if you do not act soon, our Sacred Clan is doomed!"

A colossal creature resembling a whale, over five hundred meters in length, crouched near a seabed volcanic crater, its roar laced with unmistakable fear.

It was the king of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan, the Star Radiance Stage II beast god 'Yuan Shi'.

Yet now it trembled like a stray dog, having once dwelled on the other side of the Atlantic.

But ever since it sensed Xu Jingming's aura from afar, it had fled immediately to this side of the Pacific.

"Xu Jingming's strength is too great—even your direct intervention may not guarantee his death. Could we awaken the Sacred Master ahead of schedule?"

A crisp cry rang out.

It was a bird-type beast god of Star Radiance Stage I, and even in the depths of several kilometers of seawater,

the surrounding water could not enter within a hundred meters of its body—its aura was terrifying.

Besides it, nearly ten more beast-god-level ferocious beasts surrounded the area!

Each exuded a suffocating pressure.

They varied in form: some resembled giant turtles, their backs bearing mountains;

others looked like dragon-serpents, with jagged scales and claws; some even writhed with terrifying lightning.

These beast gods were terrifying entities that made humans tremble at the mere mention—each could effortlessly destroy a nation.

Yet now, all of them bowed their heads, daring not to look directly into the depths of the volcano mouth.

"Worthless!"

A voice, as if rising from the deepest pits of hell, echoed from the volcano's depths, shaking the entire sea.

The seabed's silt was ripped upward by the soundwave, forming a murky curtain.

"Three beast gods joined forces, and yet you were slain by a human who just broke into Star Radiance Stage I—how dare you show your faces before me?"

The voice brimmed with boundless rage; each word struck like a sledgehammer on every beast god's heart.

Several weaker beast gods were shaken so violently that blood trickled from their noses and mouths, yet they dared not resist.

"My lord, please calm your wrath!"

Yuan Shi pressed its head even lower, nearly touching the seabed. "That Xu Jingming possesses an SSS-class ability, and his domain is bizarre.

His combat power far exceeds imagination—Fei Huang and the others were slain with almost no resistance..."

"Hmph!"

Suddenly, a stream of dark red magma erupted from the volcano mouth.

The magma did not cool in the seawater; instead, it twisted and reshaped like a living thing, finally forming a gigantic eye.

The eye was a hundred meters in diameter, its pupil burning with unextinguishable flames as it coldly swept over all the beast gods.

Every ferocious beast touched by that gaze trembled, as if their souls had been laid bare.

"The Sacred Master is about to awaken; the formation of the Dharma Form is at a critical moment.

I must guard here, not leaving a single step."

The Sacred Emperor's voice grew deeper, yet even more chilling: "Even if you all die, you must not let the Sacred Master awaken prematurely."

"But My Lord—"

A beast god shaped like an octopus had barely opened its mouth when a stream of magma pierced its body, emitting a shrill scream.

"No 'buts'!"

The Sacred Emperor's voice rose sharply: "Get out! Use your lives to hold back that human.

One month!

If you cannot last even one month, you have no reason to exist!"

All the beast gods fell silent, daring not to speak again, retreating swiftly from the sea area.

Once all the ferocious beasts had departed, the magma eye slowly dissipated.

At this moment, at a depth of roughly one thousand meters beneath the volcano mouth, where endless magma flowed,

a colossal beast, its size rivaling a mountain range, floated motionlessly.

It resembled a giant turtle, its shell covered in fiery red patterns resembling flowing magma.

Magma Turtle!

A Star Radiance Stage III beast god, alive since the First Civilization Era.

It slept during the Yuan Energy Extinction Period and awakened during the Yuan Energy Revival Period.

It has lived over six thousand years, tasked since the First Civilization Era with guarding the slumbering Magma Colossus.

Its strength is not great, its talent poor, but it boasts an extraordinarily long lifespan.

Beneath it, about one hundred meters deeper, where the magma burned even hotter, a massive beast lay in slumber.

It was a dragon!

Its head bore two sharp, pointed horns; its body and wings were armored in hard, black scales.

Brilliant crimson-gold patterns, like flowing magma, ran from its neck all the way to its tail.

It was none other than the Magma Colossus that had destroyed the First and Second Civilization Eras!

It seemed to be practicing some secret technique; though still asleep, endless magma churned and gathered around it,

as if forming a colossal flame phantom.

"After millennia of effort, it's nearly done—so close! I will not allow any external force to disturb it!"

The Lava Sea Turtle gazed at the Molten Fire Beast with burning eyes. "Once the dharma image finishes condensing, you will truly awaken..."

As a primordial beast god that had walked through from the First Civilization era, it knew the origins of the Molten Fire Beast very well, and knew even better that terrifying beast suspended in the sky.

Therefore, in its view, any Xu Jingming, any humans, were completely not worth mentioning.

But since they were of its kind, it would not simply watch them perish.

It would awaken the Molten Fire Beast ahead of time, but the prerequisite was completing this most important cultivation first.

At the same time, the Great Xia Empire, the wilderness outside Xia Meng.

Xu Jingming stood in the void in a suit of black battle attire, pitch-black lightning swirling around his body, the Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan behind him radiating an extremely dazzling pitch-black Lei Guang.

"This is the complete Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan..."

Xu Jingming carefully sensed the changes in the Doushen Shenlei.

After breaking through to Star Radiance Second Order, he had originally planned to continue staying on the Atlantic side to harvest ability points.

But news came from Xia Meng that the final ring of the Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan had been found, so he had made another trip back.

Of course, with Hearing Ling Shuang accompanying him.

Returning from the Atlantic side to Great Xia, using spatial abilities, only took a few minutes.

"Jingming, how is the might?"

Hearing Ling Shuang, who was gracefully accompanying him at his side, asked curiously.

Today she wore a flowing blue-green long dress, a pair of straight beautiful legs beneath the skirt fully visible.

Her bare, crystalline jade feet appeared even fairer under the sunlight.

"Not bad, the amplification to the Doushen Shenlei can reach about 30%."

Xu Jingming said thoughtfully.

As his strength increased, the might of the Doushen Shenlei grew stronger and stronger, and the amplification elemental weapons brought him grew lower and lower.

Originally at Star Radiance First Order, the incomplete Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan still had a 40% lightning amplification.

But now after breaking through to Star Radiance Second Order, the complete Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan only had a 30% amplification effect.

Still, being able to reach this level, he was fairly satisfied.

After all, other lightning-type elemental weapons could not even withstand his Destruction Domain.

"Jingming, hurry back for a trip, my Eye of Fate has captured new information!"

At this moment, Aimesi's voice suddenly rang out in his heart.
