Chapter 1412: Is He This Strong? 72.15 Million Source Points!

Boom—!!!

Deafening thunder roared across heaven and earth.

The entire northern hemisphere of Meteorite Star was bathed in blinding gold.

From Xu Jingming as the center, furious Annihilation Divine Thunder surged forth like a dam broken.

Dark golden lightning wove into a vast net that blotted out sky and sun, instantly covering a five- to six-hundred-kilometer radius!

From space, a brilliant golden sea of lightning blazed across the entire surface of Meteorite Star!

Like a colossal golden flower blooming on the planet's surface, it stood out starkly against the black void of space.

Oh my god...

Sya's legs went weak; she stepped back instinctively.

As a Star Level II cultivator herself, she had never imagined anyone could unleash such a terrifying lightning domain.

The violent energy fluctuations even sent stinging pains through her skin.

Yueying's eyes also flickered with faint, unusual light.

Xu Jingming's breakthrough speed was simply too fast—she suspected he'd used some life-forcing celestial treasure.

But from this lightning alone, his foundation was rock-solid; there was no way it came from external aids.

Xu Jingming hovered high above, his three-meter-tall Ziyan Demon Body radiating suffocating pressure.

His black short hair stood upright in the storm, his violet vertical pupils gleaming with cold light.

In his perception, the entire lightning domain extended like part of his own body.

Combined with the Ziyan Demon Body's unique sensitivity to demonic energy.

He could lock onto every single demon creature and strike them with pinpoint Annihilation Divine Thunder, without harming ordinary humans.

Each bolt of lightning was an expression of his will; each demon creature was his prey!

Immediately after came a barrage of system alerts ringing in his mind like torrential rain!

Though many of these were low-tier demons, there were also numerous Starlight-tier ones.

Thus, the source point total surged at an astonishing rate!

This made Xu Jingming's lips curl slightly upward.

The feeling of harvesting source points was a hundred times more exhilarating than in the Beast Trial Zone!

"After the first barrage, all demons on the surface have been cleared. Next, those hiding in buildings."

He clenched his fist tightly; energy within the lightning sea exploded instantly!

Tens of thousands of lightning bolts detonated simultaneously, forming a blinding golden burst of light.

All demons hiding deep within buildings and underground tunnels were reduced to ash in this single strike!

But Xu Jingming did not stop—the remaining demons, though few, were even more deeply concealed.

Yet he could not let them go...

In a villa in Xuanxing City, Dilen still waited for his teacher.

"An hour has passed, and he hasn't returned.

Of course, they couldn't find any leads."

Dilen glanced at the time and wore an expression of "I knew it."

After all, they had lived on Meteorite Star for over twenty years.

If Xu Jingming's group found leads the moment they arrived, wouldn't that make them look useless?

Roar—

No... I don't want to become a monster...

Suddenly, clamor erupted from the street outside the villa.

"Huh? What's going on? Why so noisy?"

Dilen frowned, stepped outside—and saw the strange transformation on the street.

Demons!

The street was filled with dense, countless demons!

"These... are demons!"

Seeing the twisted, deformed humans on the street, Dilen's eyes lit up.

Demons require demonic energy to transform, and demonic energy belongs exclusively to demons.

That means demons truly exist on Meteorite Star!

"Ha! I knew it—our mission direction was right!

The Star Vault Academy bunch probably haven't even noticed this anomaly yet!"

Dilen quickly pulled out his communicator.

If he reported first, he might still claim a share of the mission reward.

But just then—crack!

A golden lightning bolt, like a whip, lashed across the street!

Every demon it touched instantly turned to ash!

"What kind of lightning is this?" Dilen's heart trembled violently.

He sensed the aura of a higher-order law in this lightning!

If it struck him, he'd meet the same fate as those demons—reduced to ash!

Yet before he could fully recover his composure,

A dazzling golden light blazed across the distant horizon, as if a golden sun had descended upon the earth.

Boom—!!

The deafening thunder roared through heaven and earth, as if the entire sky had been torn apart.

Immediately after, the entire sky above Xingcheng was covered by a golden sea of lightning!

Tens of thousands of lightning bolts poured down like torrential rain!

Damn it! Where did this upper-law powerhouse come from?

Dylan's face turned pale instantly; he instinctively activated his Yuan energy to shield himself.

Yet those lightning bolts, as if endowed with eyes, precisely struck down every single demon!

Not a single one touched him or any of the terrified ordinary people around him!

This...

Dylan was stunned.

How many lightning bolts hovered above Xuanxing City?

A thousand? Two thousand? Or ten thousand?

No! Far more than that!

Yet he could precisely control every single bolt—how terrifying was this level of control?

"This... even a Star-grade high-level expert might not be able to achieve this, right?"

Dylan swallowed hard.

Once he confirmed the lightning would not harm him,

he stirred his Yuan energy and shot straight upward.

Soon he rose into the high sky, then turned his gaze toward the source of the lightning.

Although the lightning disrupted his vision and perception,

he could still faintly sense a few familiar figures over there.

Most striking of all was the purple figure over three meters tall, with bony spines sprouting from its back.

At this moment, it controlled the entire sea of lightning like Lei Shen!

"That's... Xu Jingming?!"

Upon recognizing the identity of the figure, Dylan's pupils shrank sharply.

Boom!!!

Before he could recover from his shock, another deafening thunderclap erupted.

From the center of the city, a colossal lightning pillar over a hundred meters in diameter crashed down from the heavens!

The violent energy fluctuations even warped the space around it!

"This is going to..."

Dylan widened his eyes as he watched the lightning pillar strike like a sword of divine punishment toward the city's northwest corner.

That was precisely where the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters stood!

Boom!!

Amidst a thunderous explosion, the grand buildings of the Holy Spirit Cult collapsed like sandcastles!

Countless hidden demons were obliterated into ash by the lightning!

The shockwave swept across several kilometers, leveling everything in its path!

Even though he knew the lightning posed no threat to him, Dylan instinctively flinched away.

When he came to his senses, the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters had become a massive, kilometer-wide crater.

Golden lightning serpents writhed along its edges, gleaming brilliantly!

"This power..."

Dylan swallowed hard, sweat drenching his forehead. "Could Xu Jingming really be this strong?"

Huh—

Within the sea of lightning, Xu Jingming slowly retracted his arm and exhaled gently.

The previous strike had been a T5 combat technique: "Lightning Spear."

Originally, it was merely a binding technique.

But with the immense power of his Silent Annihilation Doushen Shenlei infused into it, its potency rivaled even offensive T5 combat techniques!

"The Holy Spirit Cult is a demon nest.

Eliminating it clears away most of the demons in Xuanxing City.

And my gains have nearly reached their limit..."

Looking at the numbers on his system panel, Xu Jingming's lips curled slightly upward.
