Chapter 1478: How Is This Possible? Chi Huang Stunned!

"Xu Jingming! You're pushing too far!"

Chi Huang also noticed this scene, and his eyes instantly turned red.

With rage!

He had thought his own conduct was already arrogant enough.

But he never expected Xu Jingming to be even more arrogant!

He actually dared to fight with a woman in his arms!

This was clearly treating him as if he didn't exist at all.

"I want to see where you get your confidence!"

Chi Huang let out a low roar, gripping a long, crimson blade with a ferocious design.

The blade was long and narrow, its edge flowing with a lava-like luster, clearly no ordinary weapon.

He stepped forward, and the rock layer beneath his foot exploded violently.

His figure vanished instantly from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he had crossed over a thousand meters and stood directly before Xu Jingming!

This was the terrifying body technique of someone who mastered spatial primordial force!

"Void Flame Slash!"

He brought down his crimson blade with brutal force!

On the blade's edge, crimson-gold flames fused perfectly with spatial primordial force.

Forming a terrifying blade streak, half-gold and half-silver, twisting and unstable.

Where the blade streak passed, everything ahead.

Air, dust, light, even space itself, was mercilessly severed!

This slash fused the furious destruction of flame with the ultimate sharpness of space.

Its power had already surpassed the limits of ordinary Star Peak, faintly brushing against the threshold of the Cosmic Stage!

Chi Huang was certain that under this slash,

Even a top prodigy who mastered dual primordial forces would dare not block it head-on!

"Is that all?"

Xu Jingming raised his black-gold Lei Yu Spear into a phantom blur, thrusting like lightning!

Annihilation Doushen Shenlei coated it in another way, making the spear faster and fiercer!

Instant Prison Thunder Spear!

A T5-level spear combat technique, already raised by him to Perfect proficiency.

The spear shot out—silent.

Yet it carried a dominance that dimmed heaven and earth!

Boom!!!

The black spear streak and the gold-silver blade streak crashed together!

The expected earth-shattering explosion did not occur.

At the center of impact, a brief, strange point of silence appeared.

The next instant, centered on the point of collision,

Concentric rings of visible energy—black and gold-silver intertwined—exploded outward!

Wherever they passed, the hard, dark-red rock layers were effortlessly shaved flat and erased.

A massive circular crater over a kilometer in diameter formed instantly.

The crater's edges were smooth as a mirror, the result of instantaneous vaporization by extreme energy.

Chi Huang's decisive slash had been calmly blocked by Xu Jingming, holding the spear with one hand!

Where blade met spear, crimson-gold flames and silver spatial force surged wildly, trying to tear apart the black spear.

Yet the Annihilation Doushen Shenlei swirling over the Lei Yu Spear's shaft acted like an unbreakable barrier.

It annihilated every incoming energy, untouched and unharmed!

"What?!"

Chi Huang's pupils shrank sharply, his heart surging with shock.

His slash, fused with dual primordial forces, had been so easily blocked?

And the opponent was holding the spear with one hand, carrying a woman in his arms!

How is this possible?!

But what shocked him even more was yet to come.

The instant he blocked the blade streak, Xu Jingming twisted his wrist.

The terrifying power hidden within the black-gold Lei Yu Spear erupted violently!

Chi Huang felt his blade violently tremble, his Hukou split open, blood gushing.

An irresistible force surged through him, destabilizing his stance—he staggered backward seven steps.

Each step left deep footprints in the rock layer; his blood qi churned, his Yuan energy in chaos.

"This... is Spear Intent?!"

Chi Huang snapped his head up, staring fixedly at Xu Jingming, his crimson-gold heterochromatic eyes filled with disbelief.

Spear Intent!

And it was at least Mid-Level Spear Intent!

The so-called "intent" is the manifestation of a martial artist's perfect harmony with their own weapon.

【60】 The so-called 'Intent' is the perfect harmony between a martial artist and his weapon.

Even without invoking the Dao, one can use the spear's intent to stir deeper cosmic Dao forces.

Yet, the comprehension of "intent" is exceedingly difficult—only those with great perseverance and profound insight can attain it.

Even he, Chi Huang, after centuries of arduous cultivation, had only grasped the beginner's level of sword intent.

But this Xu Jingming—not only has his cultivation surged forward, he has comprehended the origin of lightning, and even his spear intent has reached the intermediate level!

How old is he? How long has he cultivated?

A chill, impossible to suppress, rose from deep within Chi Huang's heart.

Xu Jingming did not answer his shock.

After striking Chi Huang back with a single blow, he pressed his advantage, holding Yue Ying close, and took one step forward.

Though he carried someone in his arms, his figure moved as swiftly as a phantom.

Leaving behind only a faint afterimage, his true form appeared beside Chi Huang as if teleporting.

The Black Gold Lei Yu Spear transformed into countless black spear shadows, descending like a furious storm.

Each spear shadow was solid and dense, brimming with the terrifying annihilating Doushen Shenlei and the sharp edge of spear intent, sealing off every possible escape route for Chi Huang.

Chi Huang was both shocked and enraged, roaring furiously.

He swung his crimson longsword like a spinning wheel, unleashing wild surges of flame and space origin, trying to resist.

Yet under Xu Jingming's assault, his resistance appeared utterly feeble.

Even made him question his very life!

That's not right!

My space origin—why does it have zero effect on Xu Jingming?!

But what he did not know was:

The first layer of the Source Core Secret Scripture granted him comprehensive enhancement; the Star Core Lei Gang Body further strengthened his physique to the might of stars.

Even without using the origin of destruction, he was beyond Chi Huang's reach.

In less than ten seconds, the two clashed over a thousand times!

Xu Jingming's strikes grew faster and faster; Chi Huang had barely held out at first, but by the end, he was utterly shattered!

"No good—if I continue, I will surely lose!"

Chi Huang gritted his teeth and made his decision: "I had planned to save this move for Luo Li! You're lucky—you'll test it for her first!"

As he spoke, his Yuan energy instantly contracted and compressed in a bizarre manner.

On his S1-grade crimson longsword, gold and silver light wildly interwove.

The origins of space and flame were forcibly fused; the blade emitted a strained hum, even developing fine cracks.

A destructive aura far exceeding his earlier "Space-Flame Slash."

Like a slumbering beast slowly awakening, it spread outward from him.

"Space Ash Slash!"

Chi Huang roared, raising the longsword high above his head, as if merging entirely with the blade.

In the next instant, his form blurred.

He seemed to exist simultaneously at multiple nodes in the surrounding space, and the blade light fractured accordingly!

In an instant, nine illusory yet real images of Chi Huang appeared around Xu Jingming from all directions.

Each image slashed out a razor-thin, hyper-condensed crimson-gold blade-edge.

These nine blade-edges did not strike simultaneously, but descended in an arcane temporal sequence.

As if forming a relentless, contracting, cyclical execution array!

Within the array's range, space was utterly locked.

This was the Space Ash Slash!

A T3-level combat technique!

Ordinarily, only Cosmic-stage cultivators could wield a T3-level technique.

And as a Star Peak cultivator, each use cost him a tremendous price!

That was why he had initially refused to use it.

"To be defeated by the Space Ash Slash—you can be proud!" Chi Huang laughed arrogantly.

Yet faced with this T3-level killing technique, capable of driving ordinary Star Peak cultivators to despair,

Xu Jingming merely made a soft "tsk" sound, his tone even tinged with boredom.

He still did not loosen his left arm around Yue Ying.

He even lowered his head and gave her a soothing smile.

Under Yue Ying's trusting, adoring gaze, Xu Jingming held the spear in his right hand.

Around him surged a violently raging layer of pitch-black lightning, enveloping both of them.

The Lei Gang naturally inherent to the T0-level body cultivation technique, Star Core Lei Gang Body!

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

First, second, third...

The nine blade-edges descended in their arcane temporal sequence, capable of stacking into annihilating power!

Yet upon contacting the Lei Gang surrounding Xu Jingming's body, they shattered one by one!

"How is this possible?!"

Chi Huang was stunned speechless.

This was a T3-level offensive technique—unstoppably brutal!

How could it not even pierce Xu Jingming's protective Lei Gang?
