Chapter 1491: Originally Not Even Using Full Power! Luo Li

During flight, Xu Jingming's mind stirred.

Boom!!!

The space beside him suddenly twisted, and purple-gold demonic qi surged forth like a volcanic eruption!

A towering figure, nearly identical to his true body, stepped forward from the demonic qi!

Same three-meter-two Ziyuan Demon Body, same grotesque demonic horns, same black lightning coiling around its form!

Only its eyes were pure, cold, dark gold.

Demonic Qi Clone!

"A clone? Could Xu Jingming really possess such a secret technique?"

Behind him, Luo Li's ice-blue pupils sharply contracted.

She could clearly sense that the clone's aura was nearly identical to the original's!

What level of secret art is this?!

You should know that generally, a clone can never possess 100% of the original's strength.

Having 60% is already the absolute limit!

"Too many Star Peak beasts—clear the field first."

Xu Jingming's gaze flickered.

Immediately, both original and clone raised their right hands!

Fingers spread, palms forward.

Hum—!!!

The thunder elements in heaven and earth, as if summoned by a sovereign, frenziedly converged!

In Xu Jingming's true palm, a point of extreme darkness emerged, within which countless black lightning serpents writhed!

In the clone's palm, a sphere of purple-gold lightning, compressed to its extreme, perfectly fused with demonic qi!

Two waves of soul-shaking destruction erupted violently!

T4-tier combat technique: Lei Guang Mie Shi Pao!

Sizzzzzzzzzz!!!

Two terrifying thunder columns, each over fifty meters in diameter.

Like divine punishment descending from the ninth heavens, they exploded forth!

One pitch-black as ink, containing the origin of destruction, shattering space into fragments wherever it passed!

One interwoven with purple and black, demonic qi roaring as if devouring and annihilating even light!

The two thunder columns did not strike straight—they were precisely controlled by Xu Jingming to sweep outward in a fan shape!

"Roar—!!!"

The dozen or so Star Peak beasts directly in their path did not even scream.

Their protective Yuan energy and law fluctuations vaporized instantly like paper.

Their bodies turned to ash the moment they touched the thunderlight!

'Ding, defeated Star Peak beast Blackfur Bear, source points +'

'Ding, defeated Star Peak beast Grey Eagle, source points +'

'Ding...'

System alerts flooded Xu Jingming's mind like a torrent!

But this was only the beginning.

The residual power of the two Lei Guang Mie Shi Pao strikes swept through the beast horde like twin scythes of death, slashing and shredding!

Where thunder reached, flesh shattered, bones erased!

A Star Peak beast shaped like a tiger attempted to evade at blinding speed using wind origin.

But its flank was grazed by the edge of the black thunder column—half its body vanished instantly.

The remaining portion, propelled by inertia, surged forward dozens of meters before crashing down.

'Ding, defeated Star Peak beast Wind Roar Tiger, source points +'

A giant turtle beast skilled in earth defense.

It retracted its head and limbs into its shell, runes blazing across its carapace.

Yet under the direct impact of the purple-black thunder column, shell and flesh alike were crushed into pulp on the ground!

'Ding, defeated Star Peak beast Yuan Water Turtle, source points +'

Slaughter!

Utter, complete slaughter!

Two perfected Lei Guang Mie Shi Pao strikes.

With the Ziyuan Demon Body and dual origins amplifying them, their power had surpassed the Star Realm's limits!

Even a Cosmic Realm beast would dare not meet their edge head-on—let alone these Star Peak beasts?

Boom—!!!

Thunder raged, light swallowing all.

In just three seconds.

When the energy of the two thunder columns gradually faded and silence returned to heaven and earth,

The forty-odd Star Peak beasts that had once roared with ferocity and terror...

Had been utterly erased!

On the charred earth, only scattered fragments of un-vaporized bone and armor remained, along with an overwhelming stench of burnt flesh and blood in the air.

A gentle breeze stirred, and the ashes rose like dust, scattering in all directions.

"This..."

Luo Li hovered in midair behind him, her ice-blue eyes widened to their limit.

On her exquisitely beautiful face, every expression froze solid, leaving only boundless bewilderment and shock.

The ice-elemental primordial force she had half-concentrated dissolved silently.

"All... all of them dead? Then what was I supposed to do?"

She murmured to herself, dazed.

She had originally prepared to help Xu Jingming restrain at least four Star Apex beasts.

She had even planned her tactical retreat route and the timing for their coordinated strike...

But now, Xu Jingming fired two shots and cleared the field.

She never even got a chance to act.

But soon, her daze was replaced by endless shock.

Not long ago, Xu Jingming had merely raised his hand, and a Lei Zhu had blasted Fa La and the other three into near-death elimination.

At the time, she had already found it astonishing.

But now she realized that strike—Xu Jingming hadn't even used his full power!

"When he fought Louis and the others... he was holding back?!"

Luo Li felt her throat tighten, a chill rising from her core.

If Xu Jingming had used this level of power in his Lei Guang Cannon back then...

Louis and the other four...

Would have had no chance to trigger their emergency shield—they'd have been obliterated on the spot, body and spirit annihilated!

"This guy... how much power is he still hiding?!"

Luo Li gazed at that demonic figure with a complex expression.

But Xu Jingming paid no attention to her shock.

The system notification still echoed in his mind, the Source Point surging wildly.

Yet all his focus now was locked ahead.

Bone-Spiked Demon Bear, Blood-Winged Dragon Bat, Rock-Armored Earth Dragon.

Three Cosmic-Rank beasts!

The Lei Guang Annihilation Cannon could instantly obliterate Star Apex beasts, but its damage against them was insignificant.

At this moment, each of the three Cosmic-Rank beasts bore charred wounds, yet their auras remained perfectly steady.

In their crimson beast eyes burned a mixture of shock and fury!

"Human! You will die!!!"

The Bone-Spiked Demon Bear roared in rage, every bone spur on its body rising upright, radiating a ghastly white light!

"Attack together! Tear him apart!"

The Blood-Winged Dragon Bat flapped its wings, and a sky-covering storm of blood-colored wind blades surged forth.

The Rock-Armored Earth Dragon let out a deep roar and stamped its four legs upon the earth.

The entire ground erupted violently, countless rock spikes bursting upward like a forest.

All three Cosmic-Rank beasts unleashed their full power simultaneously!

Xu Jingming's eyes were cold as iron.

"Under the Zi Yan Demon Body form, the duration of the Clone Technique is drastically reduced—likely less than twenty minutes."

His thoughts flashed, "This battle must end swiftly!"

The next instant.

His body and clone moved at once!

His body gripped the Black-Gold Thunder Prison Spear, its shaft entwined with black thunder, the primordial force of destruction held in reserve.

The clone, right hand grasping through the void, drew down a storm of Annihilation Divine Thunder, coalescing into a pure rod of lightning—purple-black and elongated.

Wings flared!

Sssshhh—!!!

Two figures became a black and a purple bolt of lightning, hurtling toward the three Cosmic-Rank beasts.

Faster than the eye could follow!

They weaved through the storm of elemental attacks, effortlessly dodging their ranged assaults.

The body struck first before the Bone-Spiked Demon Bear!

"Foolish!" the Bone-Spiked Demon Bear sneered.

Its right claw swelled several times in size, wreathed in terrifying force capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth, slamming straight for Xu Jingming's skull!

This claw blow could crush an ordinary Star Apex beast into pulp!

But Xu Jingming did not dodge or retreat.

He didn't even raise his spear to block.

He merely pushed his Lei Gang to its peak—the black aura membrane around his body solidified instantly!

"Trade damage? Idiot!"

The Bone-Spiked Demon Bear's eyes gleamed with cruelty, its claw strike intensifying by another third!

Boom—!!!

The massive claw struck Xu Jingming's skull squarely.

The expected scene of his skull shattering never occurred.

The moment the claw's edge met the black Lei Gang, a shrill clang of metal on metal erupted!

The Lei Gang shuddered violently, its light flashing repeatedly, yet it outright withstood over eighty percent of that claw's power!

The remaining twenty percent of the force pierced through the Lei Gang and struck Xu Jingming's skin, covered in purple scales.

It left only a faint white mark!

Not even the skin was broken!
