Chapter 1168: The Silent Immortal Gods! Let Me Do It!

Before entering the trial zone, Xu Jingming had already prepared his pills.

With the pills combined with the Gene Energy Cultivation Art, he restored to peak condition in barely an hour.

"The higher the level of the Destruction Domain, the more energy it consumes when activated.

I'm only Starlight Stage Two—my level is too low; my total energy isn't enough to sustain prolonged use of the Destruction Domain.

After this trial ends and I catch the attention of the Immortal Gods, I must quickly raise my level..."

Swish—

Behind him, the Thunder Dragon Wings unfurled, and Xu Jingming shot skyward.

He continued onward, delving deeper into the trial zone to find Lei Meng's trail.

Lei Meng controls the Fire Domain.

When Xu Jingming activates his Thunder Domain, lightning covers dozens of kilometers around him.

Lei Meng's Fire Domain works the same way—visible from hundreds of kilometers away as a vast expanse of flame.

Moreover, he possesses the Perfect-Level Ziwei Eye, which can perceive a person's vital energy and roughly pinpoint their location.

Thus, after nearly three hours, Xu Jingming finally found Lei Meng.

Hundreds of kilometers away, the sky over dozens of kilometers was engulfed in endless crimson flames and yellow dust.

That was the power of dual Fire and Earth Domains.

Lei Meng's body had swollen from five meters to hundreds of meters tall.

He stood like a celestial god in midair, while opposite him loomed a dragon over a thousand meters long!

The dragon's aura hovered around Starlight Stage Six; both sides were locked in fierce combat.

The dragon held a slight edge, pressing Lei Meng hard, but Lei Meng faced no immediate life threat.

"A Starlight Stage Six Golden Spike Dragon?"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up.

This Golden Spike Dragon wields dual Metal and Earth Domains.

Even among the demonic races, it's one of the more troublesome types—yet here it was, right before him.

"Lei Meng's here too—perfect timing for my moment to shine."

With that thought, Xu Jingming's booming voice erupted like spring thunder:

"Lei Meng, brother! I've come to aid you!"

As his words fell, Xu Jingming, spear in hand, shot toward Lei Meng like a streak of lightning.

"Damn it!"

Outside, Niki, who had been watching Xu Jingming closely, felt her heart lurch.

Three hours earlier, she'd noticed Xu Jingming seemed to be searching for something.

Even when encountering demonic beasts, he no longer struck decisively as before—he avoided battle.

Until now, she hadn't understood; now she finally knew.

Xu Jingming was hunting Lei Meng!

"Of the 1078 projections, the Immortal Gods will only pay attention to Lei Meng, who carries the Giant Clan bloodline—they won't focus on him.

Even with the Destruction Domain, without Immortal God attention, it's all futile.

He actually thought of this—and deliberately found Lei Meng, trying to steal the spotlight."

"This Xu Jingming isn't just a prodigy in talent—his mindset is equally extraordinary."

Niki silently praised him.

She grew even more determined to take him as her student.

But she also knew: once Xu Jingming was exposed to the other five Immortal Gods' gaze,

taking him as a disciple would no longer be simple...

Indeed,

Xu Jingming appeared within Lei Meng's projection in a brutally direct manner.

Instantly, his spear thrust forward—and a colossal thunderbolt, piercing heaven and earth, exploded, piercing the Golden Spike Dragon in an instant!

"Roar—!!"

With a cry of agony, the Golden Spike Dragon plummeted from the sky.

Simultaneously, a wave of startled murmurs erupted from the VIP lounge.

"A Spirit Blood-grade Golden Spike Dragon was one-shot? Is this... Destruction Domain Level Five?! Is there such a prodigy in this trial's grading?"

"A newcomer mastering an upper-tier domain? Which family is this from?"

"Destruction and Thunder dual domains—this man qualifies for Level One Talent certification."

"..."

The five Immortal Gods' voices expressed surprise, but not shock.

In the Noah Sanctuary, those who awaken upper-tier domains are rare—but not nonexistent.

Every few decades, one or two such individuals emerge among the newcomers entering the Noah Sanctuary.

"It's the Destruction Domain? No wonder Xu Jingming's Thunder Domain is so deadly."

Ye Lan, standing beside Niki, suddenly understood.

But even so—why did Teacher Niki praise him?

Upper-tier domains, though rare, are still possessed by many within the Noah Sanctuary.

"At Starlight Stage Two, he wields Destruction Level Five and Thunder Level Eight domains—his talent is impressive.

I wonder which family he's from. Hei Yu, pull up his records."

Among the six Immortal Gods, a middle-aged man with a lightning mark on his forehead spoke.

He was Lu Wen, the only one among the six Immortal Gods who had received the recognition of the Lightning Principle.

"What? You want to take him as your disciple?" Hei Guang chuckled.

"Let's first understand the situation and consider it based on his future performance within the Sacred Ground."

Lu Wen said calmly.

It is indeed rare for someone at Starlight Stage Two to master a higher-level domain, but the Sacred Ground produces one such individual every few decades.

As Immortal Gods, they have existed for countless eons, each eon lasting one hundred thousand years.

In one hundred thousand years, countless geniuses like Xu Jingming emerge within the Sacred Ground.

As an Immortal God, he would not lightly accept someone as his apprentice.

At this moment, Hei Yu's figure had already appeared in the VIP chamber.

Bai Xi, whose lovely face had long since learned of Xu Jingming's performance in the Trial Zone, now wore a look of deep astonishment.

At this moment, facing the six Immortal Gods, she spoke:

"The member on Projector No. 534 is named Xu Jingming, hailing from a native planet 4.47 million light-years from my Noa Empire."

That planet has not entered interstellar civilization, and its Yuan energy concentration is only one percent of the Empire's; it was discovered through the Empire's deployed Trial Tower."

At just twenty years old, he already possessed considerable mastery in the path of lightning, reaching the Domain realm.

My subordinate certified him as a Level Two Genius and invited him to our Noa Sacred Ground.

Less than two years later, he arrived at the Sacred Ground yesterday and chose to participate in this certification trial."

His current age should be twenty-one, and as for the Destruction Domain he wields, I only learned of it now."

When Hei Yu finished speaking, the Immortal Gods who had previously paid little attention to Xu Jingming fell into silence.

Holy hell!

With such a hellish start, this kid made it this far? He's that fierce?

Ye Lan, standing gracefully beside Niki, widened her almond eyes in utter shock, as if seeing a ghost.

Xu Jingming came from a native planet? And under such conditions, he attained a higher-level domain?!

What kind of fantasy is this?

"Since Lu Wen intends to observe further, I'll reluctantly take Xu Jingming as my student for now."

After a moment of silence, Hei Guang cleared his throat and spoke first.
