Chapter 1290: The Arrogant Princess! Unleashes Her Manifestation!

"Lady Yueying! It's Lady Yueying!"

"By the Silver Moon! Grant victory to Your Highness!"

"No wonder she's the Princess—still as elegant and beautiful as ever."

"......"

When that tall silver figure appeared at the opposite end of the arena, the entire audience erupted instantly.

Among the billions of spectators, the elf quarter exploded into a deafening roar of cheers.

Countless elf maidens flushed crimson with excitement, their pale green eyes sparkling with fervor.

Many elf spectators even rose to their feet.

Silver-white and green hair fluttered in the virtual universe's gentle breeze, forming a dazzling sea of silver and green.

The human spectator zone stirred just as violently.

Male spectators unconsciously held their breath, their awestruck gazes fixed on that slender figure.

Yueying merely stood there—and yet she could make anyone fall utterly in love.

She was an extraordinarily beautiful woman.

"Looks like Yueying's popularity among the elves is quite high."

"I wonder what expression they'll wear when their princess loses."

Xu Jingming thought with a touch of mischief.

"Both combatants, prepare."

A majestic voice rang from the sky, "The match begins now!"

As the words ended, both figures vanished from their spots simultaneously.

Both had unspokenly charged straight at each other!

At the same time, their Law domains erupted in unison!

Crackling—!!

Brilliant golden Lei Guang exploded violently from Xu Jingming's center!

Each lightning arc carried an aura of destruction, leaving searing trails in the void.

Opposite him, Yueying's blue wind Law also surged outward violently!

Those wind blades were sharp enough to slice through space, forming a death zone around her.

"Sky-Splitting Wind Blades!"

Yueying's slender fingers swept gracefully—thousands of blue wind blades instantly formed.

Sky-Splitting Wind Blades!

T7-level combat technique!

Empowered by wind Law, each blade carried the power of the Law.

Capable of slicing through a Star-Class warrior's defenses!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!......

Dozens of wind blades instantly crossed tens of kilometers, striking Xu Jingming at blinding speed.

"Wind blades? Sorry, my Dou Tian Shen Lei isn't that weak."

Xu Jingming grinned, not dodging or retreating, his charge unbroken.

Around him, the Dou Tian Shen Lei formed a lightning barrier in a precise pattern.

Ding! Ding! Ding! ~~~

Countless wind blades slammed into it—producing sounds like Jin Ge clashing—yet not a single one pierced through!

T7-level combat technique: "Shenlei Barrier"!

He had learned this technique during his year on Heishi Star, from his senior brother Jiesi, within the Virtual Universe.

With this technique, he could block most forms of damage.

"Hmm?"

Across from him, Yueying's elegant brows lifted slightly, her beautiful eyes flickering with surprise.

Since she began fighting in the Abyss Arena, nearly every match ended in a knockout!

Had she entered the arena more often, she would have already entered the King Promotion Matches.

Yet now, someone had taken her T7-level technique without a single scratch.

She had expected this technique to at least leave Xuesha disheveled—even if it didn't injure him.

"It seems you're quite different from any opponent I've faced before."

Yueying's gray eyes fixed on Xu Jingming, a hint of seriousness faintly emerging in their depths.

Just as she prepared her next move—suddenly, a sharp crack! A thick golden Lei Ting plummeted from the sky!

Boom—!!!

Dozens of meters around Yueying turned into a blazing golden Lei Hai!

"What did you just say? Sorry, I didn't quite catch it."

Far off in the sky, Xu Jingming stood tall and arrogant, speaking with infuriating smugness.

From the moment the match began, he'd noticed this princess was haughty—she hadn't taken him seriously at all.

This strike of Lei Fa Shu should make her reconsider that attitude.

Hu—

The gale howled as golden lightning gradually faded, revealing Yueying's figure at the center.

Instantly, a wave of incredulous gasps rose from the elf spectators across the stands.

"Heavens! Lady Yueying has been hit!"

"I've never seen Lady Yueying look so disheveled!"

"Damn Xue Sha—how dare he desecrate Lady Yueying!"

"......"

On the ground, Lady Yueying's snow-white skin bore blackened scars from the lightning strikes.

Even her smooth, beautiful silver hair had become slightly frizzed.

She looked thoroughly disheveled—no wonder the elves reacted so strongly.

"Good. You've successfully angered me. But this ends now."

Lady Yueying's cold, clear voice echoed across the arena, tinged with barely contained fury.

Instantly, her gray eyes blazed with brilliant silver light!

Her slender fingertips lightly touched her forehead.

A mysterious silver crescent mark slowly emerged, flowing with a cool, moonlike radiance.

Vast life energy erupted from her like a tidal wave, causing the surrounding space to warp slightly under its power.

Her silver hair, once reaching her hips, grew to her ankles, stirring without wind.

At the same time, the entire arena began to tremble.

An ancient, boundless aura awakened within Lady Yueying as she slowly opened her arms.

Green light exploded violently, revealing behind her a colossal phantom of a towering ancient tree!

"Silver Moon Bloodline paired with the Ancient Life Tree Manifestation!"

"A T7 Premium Manifestation—only the royal family can inherit it!"

"The aura of a Perfect-level Manifestation—so powerful!"

"Using both Manifestation and Bloodline power simultaneously—Princess Yueying is truly enraged!"

"......"

The elf section of the audience erupted in deafening cheers.

The giant tree was entirely emerald green, its leaves and branches shimmering with silver light, its trunk covered in mysterious runes.

Merely by its appearance, the phantom filled the arena with life energy.

Under the radiance of life, Lady Yueying's wounds healed rapidly, her hair smoothing back to its lustrous state.

In but an instant, she became once more the proud, elegant elven goddess.

"Sixteenth layer of the Life Domain, combined with a T7 Perfect-level Manifestation—truly extraordinary."

Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes.

Life and Destruction are two primordial, opposing cosmic laws.

Destruction excels at annihilation; Life excels at healing and restoration.

"As for this Silver Moon Bloodline......"

Xu Jingming glanced at the taller, more beautiful silhouette across from him.

According to the data he'd gathered, the Silver Moon Bloodline primarily enhances Life Law and cultivation speed.

Otherwise, Yueying could never have reached Star Radiance Ninth Stage at merely thirty-five years of age.

In actual combat, the Silver Moon Bloodline grants her relatively modest improvements.

"Let's see if I can defeat her without using the Purple Nightmare Demon Body."

With a thought, a massive light wheel appeared behind Xu Jingming!

At its center, a black vortex over twenty meters wide seemed capable of swallowing all things.

Countless golden lightning serpents slithered around the vortex, radiating a terrifying aura of destruction.

The two Manifestations faced each other across the arena—one, the vibrant Ancient Life Tree; the other, the destructive Golden Lightning Abyss.

Opposing auras clashed in midair, generating ripples of spatial distortion.

"That aura—it's also a Perfect-level Manifestation!"

"The power only a T7 Manifestation can wield!"

"Of course—those who make it to the King's Candidates aren't ordinary!"

"......"

The audience wasn't surprised that Xue Sha possessed a T7 Perfect-level Manifestation.

Rather, many members of the Noah Holy Land's audience wore expressions of shock.

Isn't that Manifestation—Master Ming's Lightning Abyss Swallowing the Sun?
