Chapter 1338: All Show, No Substance! Instantly Slays Three!

Above the arena,

Xu Jingming's gaze coldly swept over the three towering, majestic phantasmal bodies before him, yet his heart remained utterly calm.

"Three together? Hmph... merely superficial."

Bardley's Earth Vein Colossus was heavy as a mountain, Gal's Sword God Phantasm radiated piercing sharpness, and Maureen's Wind Spirit Phantasm moved swift as lightning.

On the surface, each of these three phantasms emitted a terrifying pressure, as if capable of suppressing an entire realm.

But in Xu Jingming's eyes, they were nothing but paper tigers—pierce them once and they'd collapse!

"They've all grasped the basic laws?"

"Too bad, beyond earth, metal, and wind—the basic laws—"

"Their highest mastered upper-tier domains are only at level sixteen, none complete."

Xu Jingming silently assessed his opponents' strength.

In countless battles within the Abyss Arena, he had long honed the ability to instantly judge an opponent's power.

These three, though each a top genius from their respective cosmic nations,

still fell a whole tier short of him!

"Since you've chosen to unite, let me show you what true power really is!"

Thinking this, Xu Jingming's eyes suddenly sharpened like blades.

Behind him, the black-gold Lei Shen Phantasm erupted in blinding Lei Guang!

"Boom—"

As if countless thunderclaps detonated simultaneously across heaven and earth!

Holding his spear, Xu Jingming stepped on empty air, his form swift as lightning, charging straight toward Bardley and the others!

This sight instantly sent the entire audience into uproar.

"What?! Xu Jingming is attacking first?!"

"Facing three at once and still striking first? How arrogant!"

"My god! Is he insane?!"

"......"

Gasps and shouts rose from the audience seats in waves.

Even the many sovereign powerhouses in the VIP lounge couldn't help but raise their eyebrows slightly.

"Interesting."

Mo Bing's brow slowly relaxed, a rare smile appearing on his lips:

"Knowing he's outnumbered yet still charging forward—this kid... has guts."

He had made peace with it.

Even if his final ranking was only 400th in the cosmic standings, it didn't matter.

With the nation's sovereign as his mentor, Xu Jingming would still grow strong.

On the battlefield,

"Die!"

Seeing Xu Jingming dare to charge forward,

Bardley roared, and his Earth Vein Colossus raised a mountain-sized fist.

"Earth Vein Explosive Blast!"

Earth-colored law ripples gathered on the fist's edge, as if drawing forth the entire desert's subterranean power.

The air warped into visible ripples; space itself subtly twisted!

"Golden Rainbow Pierces the Sun!"

On the other side, Gal also struck.

The Sword God Phantasm condensed a golden sword a kilometer long.

Metal law flowed along its blade, its sharpness so fierce it seemed able to cleave heaven and earth!

"Wind Spirit Absolute Shadow!"

Maureen's Wind Spirit Phantasm became a streak of emerald light.

In an instant, it circled behind Xu Jingming, a hundred meters away, and crossed its twin blades to unleash dozens of slashes capable of severing space!

Three law masters unleashed their ultimate techniques simultaneously!

Facing this overwhelming assault, Xu Jingming did not dodge or evade—his lips curled into a cold smirk.

"Thunderstorm Art!"

He arched his eyebrows, and the T6 combat technique exploded forth!

"Boom!!"

The heavens seemed to split open with a massive fissure.

Endless golden lightning cascaded down like a waterfall!

Each bolt was as thick as a water barrel, wrapped in intricate law patterns, radiating an aura of annihilation.

"Crackle—crackle—!!"

The moment the thunderstorm descended, the three phantasmal bodies were instantly crippled!

Bardley's Earth Vein Colossus suffered first.

The rock-armored plating, said to withstand star impacts, shattered like tofu under the golden lightning's assault!

"Crack—crack—"

Countless cracks spread across the phantasm's surface.

The golden-brown law light flashed wildly, yet still could not halt the trend of collapse.

"How is this possible?!"

Bingshan Yao Fang's face turned pale.

His earth law was best at defense.

In past battles, even same-tier law experts struggled to break through his defense.

But now, after just one round of thunderstorm strikes, his law form was on the verge of collapse?!

"Damn! This thunderstorm technique is suspicious!"

On the other side, Lei Kuangyong was equally stunned.

His Sword God form was melting at an astonishing rate.

Those so-called invincible metal sword qi shattered like snow before a blazing sun before the golden lightning!

"This power… this is really a T6 combat technique?!"

Meilin's Wind Spirit form was the most fragile, and now had turned ethereal and transparent.

After carefully sensing it, her delicate face turned ashen, her eyes filled with disbelief:

"Something's wrong—this thunderstorm technique is at Perfect proficiency!"

"What?!"

Bingshan Yao Fang and Lei Kuangyong both paled.

A Perfect-proficiency T6 combat technique?!

Remember, in the Starlight Stage,

only those who had comprehended a law could cultivate a T6 combat technique.

And for a T6 combat technique, from mastery to Perfect proficiency, it would take at least several thousand years!

Although they had also mastered T6 combat techniques, they were only at Beginner proficiency.

How could Xu Jingming have already reached Perfect proficiency?

"He… how old is he?!"

Bingshan Yao Fang's heart was shaken by a storm of shock.

According to him, Xu Jingming was only twenty-five!

At twenty-five, he had not only comprehended the Lightning Law and perfected the Destruction Domain,

but also cultivated a T6 combat technique to Perfect proficiency?!

What kind of monstrous talent is this?!

As the three were stunned, Xu Jingming's figure before them flickered and vanished into thin air.

"No good!"

Bingshan Yao Fang's heart screamed a warning; he frantically activated his damaged law form to defend.

But the target was not him.

"Ssshh—"

A golden lightning bolt streaked across the sky like a meteor, instantly piercing through the Wind Spirit form's chest!

Instantly, the spear appeared like a phantom, striking Meilin's head!

"Plos—!!"

Her small head exploded suddenly.

The headless, delicate body flew backward with momentum, crashing heavily onto the desert.

Meilin spat a mouthful of blood, her body flying backward like a severed kite, dissolving into specks of starlight.

Her once-proud speed was child's play before Xu Jingming—she was slain in an instant.

"First one."

Xu Jingming's cold voice echoed across the battlefield.

He held the Abyss Spear, its tip wreathed in lightning, standing like a demonic god in midair.

Behind him, the black-gold Lei Shen law form gazed down with icy indifference, unleashing annihilating thunder in all directions!

Bingshan Yao Fang and Lei Kuangyong turned ashen, fear finally flickering in their eyes.

Even Meilin, at the same level, had been instantly slain.

Just what kind of monster is this Xu Jingming?

Yet Xu Jingming did not care for their feelings.

"Boom!!"

In the instant the golden lightning exploded, the entire desert seemed as if a god had pressed pause.

Xu Jingming's tall figure vanished abruptly from his spot.

Only a twisted afterimage remained in the air.

Bingshan Yao Fang's pupils shrank sharply.

Golden-brown law energy surged wildly; the Earth Vein Titan's arms instinctively crossed before his chest.

But it was too late.

A spear wreathed in brilliant golden lightning pierced through empty space, striking his head with perfect precision.

Plos—

His head exploded like a watermelon; another headless corpse fell.

All of this happened too fast.

From Xu Jingming's disappearance to Bingshan Yao Fang's death, the entire process took less than 0.3 seconds.

Far away, Gal's Sword God Manifestation had just raised its arm, the golden swords in the sky yet unturned.

"Third."

A cold voice sounded at Gal's ear, and the prodigy of the Silver-Blue Empire felt every hair on his body stand on end.

He frantically pushed the Metal Principle; over a thousand golden longswords spun rapidly behind him, forming an impenetrable storm of blades.

A flash of Lei Guang vanished in an instant.

A blinding point of golden light suddenly ignited at the center of the blade storm, exploding outward like a supernova!

The blades infused with the Metal Principle shattered like fragile glass, crumbling into metallic shards under the Lei Guang!

In Gal's widened eyes, reflected was Xu Jingming's cold face.

The spear tip of the Abyssal Spear grew larger in his vision, finally filling his entire pupil.

"Plop!"

The sound of a skull bursting echoed across the entire arena.

The headless corpse, carried by residual Lei Guang, flew thousands of meters before crashing heavily into a dune—already charred black as coal.

In the blink of an eye, three Principle experts were all dead.

The entire audience seat had fallen into absolute silence...
