Chapter 1246: Who the Hell Are You? Ending the Hegemony!

"He used the True Body Manifestation right away! Fer is serious now!"

"T7-level Qinglan Spirit Manifestation! Xu Jingming is an Elementalist—he'll lose if he gets cornered!"

"Now we'll see how Xu Jingming's movement technique holds up."

"......"

The spectator seats erupted in a burst of shocked cries.

Fer gave Xu Jingming no time to prepare.

The True Body Manifestation stomped the ground and shot forward like a green meteor!

For a warrior famed for speed, 300 kilometers could be crossed in no more than ten seconds!

When Fer saw Xu Jingming, the latter stood frozen in place—not flying away or dodging!

Fer paused, then sneered.

"Scared stiff? Your mental fortitude must be terrible!"

Swish—!!

The hundreds-of-meters-tall True Body Manifestation swung its fist down like a god crushing the earth.

Simultaneously, Fer flashed forward, appearing before Xu Jingming, his battle blade wreathed in green light as he slashed down with a thunderous roar!

"It's over."

In the Spirit Pivot Sacred Ground's competitor zone, someone had already begun celebrating.

An Elementalist cornered by a warrior has almost no chance to counter.

Especially since Fer had already unleashed his True Body Manifestation—and even his sword technique was T7-level 'Qinglan Slash'!

But in the next instant, a scene stunned everyone.

A vast black thunder sea churned, and the massive True Body Manifestation shattered like fragile glass.

A dark shadow was blasted backward at astonishing speed, cratering the specially made alloy ground into a pit dozens of meters wide!

At the pit's depths lay Fer himself!

At the other end of the arena, Xu Jingming gripped a dark long spear.

Mysterious purple patterns glowed across his skin, surrounded by terrifying black lightning.

Combined with the churning black thunder sea behind him, he looked like a Thunder War God risen from ancient times.

"What's going on? The Elementalist got cornered by a warrior—and it was the warrior who got blasted away?"

"What just happened? I didn't even see it!"

"Too fast! Xu Jingming's movements were impossible to track!"

"......"

The spectator seats erupted in a deafening storm of stunned murmurs.

Most of them were only Starlight Stage—or even below Starlight Stage.

Naturally, they couldn't see Xu Jingming's movements clearly.

At that moment, the holographic projection screen began replaying the scene at a hundredfold slow motion.

In the footage, facing Fer's furious charge, Xu Jingming didn't dodge or retreat.

At the very moment the giant spirit fist was about to strike him, purple patterns suddenly appeared on his skin.

Behind him, the thunder sea churned as his right spear, wreathed in black Lei Guang, struck back with brutal force!

Boom!

Just a simple horizontal sweep shattered the seven-hundred-meter-tall True Body Manifestation!

The residual shockwave blasted Fer himself thousands of meters away!

When the replay ended, the entire spectator seating fell into deathly silence.

This doesn't make sense!

They'd assumed both fighters were evenly matched—surely it would take half an hour of brutal combat to decide a winner.

But now, it looked like Xu Jingming was just mercilessly crushing him!

And those swirling purple patterns on his body—those didn't look like Elementalist techniques at all. They looked more like Warrior techniques!

"T7-level Body Cultivation Art: Zi Xiao Lei Wen Body—judging by the number of patterns, he's reached the Seventh Layer!"

A knowledgeable spectator recognized the Body Cultivation Art, and instantly the crowd erupted in uproar!

An Elementalist, not practicing Spirit Refinement Arts.

Instead, he's training Body Cultivation Arts? What's going on here?

"Aren't you an Elementalist?"

On the arena, Fer lay bleeding heavily at the bottom of the pit, grievously wounded, yet still struggled to lift his head and ask.

And this was also the question burning in every spectator's mind.

"I never said I was an Elementalist," Xu Jingming said calmly.

"Damn it!!"

Fer couldn't help but curse.

He'd watched the video of Xu Jingming's battle against Noah Sacred Ground and Bazil.

Back then, Xu Jingming had only reached Body First Layer of Zi Xiao Lei Wen Body.

After the Sacred Ground Exchange Tournament, he'd never seen Xu Jingming use Body Cultivation Arts, so he'd always assumed he was an Elementalist.

If he'd known Xu Jingming had advanced his Body Cultivation to this level, he'd never have swung his blade so recklessly!

Swish—

His blood qi surged violently as the light of his Earth and Wood dual domains flared again.

Fier tried to make one last struggle.

"It's useless."

At a thought from Xu Jingming, a T7-grade Doushen Shenlei erupted forth in a frenzy!

Rumble rumble~~

Wherever the lightning passed, the vines that were about to sprout vigorously once more were instantly obliterated!

This was the might of the dual domains of lightning and destruction!

When it came to brute-force output, this was the strongest domain combination!

"Xu Jingming, I am Apollo.

If you pretend you cannot match Fier and concede on your own, the Lingshu Holy Ground can give you double the champion's reward!"

Just as Xu Jingming was about to end the match for good, a spiritual transmission rang out in his mind.

The voice carried an irrefutable authority, as if a lofty deity were bestowing charity upon a mortal.

At a flicker of his spiritual force, Xu Jingming indeed spotted Apollo in the competitor area signaling him with his eyes.

"Want me to concede? Who do you think you are?"

A cold glint flashed in Xu Jingming's eyes, and his figure suddenly appeared before Fier.

His long spear, like a dragon, thrust straight out wreathed in destructive pitch-black Lei Guang!

"I con—"

Fier tried in terror to concede, but it was already too late.

"Boom!"

The raging Lei Ting utterly engulfed Fier.

When the Lei Guang faded, this genius of the Lingshu Holy Ground had already been pierced through the left half of his body by the long spear.

The nearby flesh, along with the bone, had all been obliterated by the lightning!

Under the intense pain, he had already fallen into a coma, lying there charred black all over.

Splurt—

The long spear was withdrawn, then given a light shake, and the bloodstains clinging to it were all shaken off.

"Match over! This match, Xu Jingming of the Noah Holy Ground wins!"

The electronic voice of the intelligent referee rang out, and the rescue team that had long been waiting on the side hurriedly rushed in to save Fier.

At the same time, an earth-shaking uproar erupted throughout the entire arena!

"He won! Xu Jingming won!"

"How many years has it been? The undefeated myth of the Lingshu Holy Ground has finally been broken!"

"Pathetic Lingshu Holy Ground, losing even this?"

"......"

Years of undefeated record, thoroughly shattered today!

And in such a crushing manner at that!

Spectators from other empires were all cheering — the hegemony was ended right here and now!

Only the spectators of the Lingshu Holy Ground looked as if they had just eaten fly droppings, utterly miserable.

"Xu Jingming!"

In the competitor area of the Lingshu Holy Ground, Apollo's face was so gloomy it could drip water.

He stared fixedly at that upright figure in the arena, flames of fury burning in his eyes.

Everyone else assumed he was merely angry that the Lingshu Holy Ground's record had been broken.

Only he himself knew that was only one part of it.

The other part was that during the spiritual transmission just now, Xu Jingming had actually dared to shout back at him!

"You dare defeat my Lingshu Holy Ground — in half an hour, I'll make your Noah Holy Ground cry and beg me to stop!"

Apollo's gaze was icy cold.

It just so happened that half an hour later was his match against a Star Radiance Eighth-Tier from the Noah Holy Ground.

He had plenty of ways to torment the opponent madly while making it impossible for them to cry out their surrender!
