Chapter 1492: Slash the Cosmic Class! Unfathomable Strength!

"What?!"

On the grotesque beast face of the Bone-Spiked Demon Bear, a look of human-like shock appeared.

You must understand,

He was a Cosmic-Class beast!

The body of a beast inherently possesses far greater strength than a human of the same class!

With this swipe, even a mountain peak would shatter!

Yet this human... remained completely unharmed?!

Xu Jingming did not answer.

In terms of elemental attacks, he might not match these Cosmic-Class beings.

But when it came to physical resilience,

With the enhancements of the Purple Nightmare Demon Body, the Star-Core Thunder Body, and the Source-Core Secret Scripture,

He was certain his physical body was stronger than an ordinary Cosmic-Class beast!

A thought flashed through his mind.

He seized the instant of stiffness when the Bone-Spiked Demon Bear's massive claw struck him.

In his hand, the Black-Gold Lei Yu Spear became a jet-black lightning bolt tearing through space, thrust straight forward!

The spear shot forth like a dragon, thunder following the spear's path!

Instant Prison Lianhuan Lei Qiang!

T5 Perfect-Level spear combat technique!

Puch—!!!

The spear, wreathed in lightning, pierced effortlessly into the Bone-Spiked Demon Bear's massive skull.

Then, the Doushen Shenlei exploded violently!

Crackling—

The furious lightning instantly tore apart its skull!

Yet, at the very moment its head exploded,

The headless demon bear's body still lunged forward.

Losing its head seemed to have no effect—it raised its massive claw again, a stench of blood and wind rushing toward him!

But Xu Jingming's eyes remained unmoved; he had anticipated everything.

The gap between Star-Class and Cosmic-Class is like a heavenly chasm.

The most critical aspect is the Life Core!

Once one advances from Star-Class to Cosmic-Class, a Life Core can be condensed within the body.

As long as the Life Core remains intact, even if the head is obliterated, movement is still possible!

Before acting, Xu Jingming had already foreseen this scenario.

He did not retract his spear's momentum; his thunder wings flared.

His body slid half a step like a phantom, evading the claw's edge, while his wrist trembled.

"Extinct."

A cold single word escaped his lips.

The Doushen Shenlei coiled around the Black-Gold Lei Yu Spear did not cease despite the head's destruction.

Instead, it surged violently along the spear's shaft into the demon bear's torso!

Lightning like countless fine black snakes burrowed through the severed neck, spreading to every limb and bone in an instant!

Crackling~~~~

Amid the sizzling sound of lightning, the demon bear's massive body convulsed violently.

Its surface bone spines shattered one by one; the pale bones, illuminated by black lightning, rapidly blackened and carbonized!

"Roar—!!!"

A scream of extreme pain and defiance erupted from its chest cavity.

But the roar lasted only half a second before abruptly cutting off.

The Life Core of a Cosmic-Class cultivator is usually buried deep within the body.

But how ruthless was Xu Jingming's Doushen Shenlei?

With the enhancement of Annihilation Origin, wherever the lightning passed, flesh and bone were both obliterated.

Including the Life Core it had hidden—it was instantly and completely pierced through by the lightning!

Boom!

The Life Core, pierced by lightning, was riddled with cracks, then exploded violently in the next instant!

Deprived of its energy core's support, the still-struggling headless body of the demon bear froze rigid.

Then, as if all life had been drained, it rapidly withered.

Finally, within the lingering lightning, it turned to a pile of charred ash, scattering with the wind.

'Ding, defeated one Cosmic-Class-1 beast, Bone-Spiked Demon Bear, Source Points +!'

The pleasant system notification rang out, instantly brightening Xu Jingming's eyes.

210,000 Source Points?!

The Source Points gained from killing one Cosmic-Class beast were ten times those from killing a Star-Class peak beast!

"Jingming succeeded!"

"A Cosmic-Class beast was instantly killed?!"

"Could Xu Jingming's physique really be this strong? Even a Cosmic-tier beast couldn't handle him?!"

"......"

Far away, Yue Ying leapt up in delight.

The remaining Luo Li, Mia, and the severely wounded Louis and others all widened their eyes, breath frozen.

Just one exchange!

In just one exchange, Xu Jingming killed a Cosmic-tier beast!

Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?

"Bone Spike!!"

"Damn human!"

The Bloodwing Dragon Bat and the Rockhide Earth Dragon, both Cosmic-tier beasts, erupted in fury.

They had originally dismissed Xu Jingming's ambush as insignificant.

Believing Bone Spike Bear could easily kill him, they hadn't moved to assist.

But reality had turned completely upside down!

In a moment's lapse, Bone Spike Bear had been instantly slain!

"Next, it's your turn."

The demonic energy clone had already surged before the two beasts.

He lifted his spear slightly, his voice calm, yet carrying a chill that froze the soul.

"You're merely Stellar-tier—how dare you be so arrogant before us?!"

The Bloodwing Dragon Bat and the Rockhide Earth Dragon's beastly ferocity exploded fully!

The Bloodwing Dragon Bat flared its wings violently; the countless blood blades no longer scattered.

Instead, they converged into a bloodstorm over a hundred meters in diameter.

It tore through the air, whirling toward Xu Jingming's true body!

The Rockhide Earth Dragon slammed all four legs down.

The earth shattered with a roar; countless rock spikes burst forth like giant serpents, stabbing at the clone from every direction.

Simultaneously, its massive body reared upright; its heavily armored forelimbs became two colossal hammers, crashing down upon the clone's skull!

Facing this life-or-death combined strike, Xu Jingming's eyes blazed with black radiance.

"Perfect!"

He let out a loud laugh, refusing to dodge or evade.

His back erupted with thunderous wings, black lightning surging as he charged straight into the bloodstorm!

The clone mirrored the motion, sweeping its thunder spear.

Purple-black Lei Guang exploded, shattering every incoming rock spike.

Then the spear twisted, driving straight into the Earth Dragon's descending limb!

Boom! Boom!

Two earth-shattering explosions erupted nearly simultaneously!

Energy storms swept in all directions, churning the scorched earth, sending dust plumes skyward!

Behind them, watching Xu Jingming engage in mortal combat with the two Cosmic-tier beasts,

Luo Li, Louis, and the others were utterly stunned.

Fighting across tiers.

As top prodigies of the Cosmic Human race,

this had once been as ordinary to them as daily meals.

But the higher the rank, the harder it became to fight across tiers.

At the Cosmic-tier level, the difficulty exploded beyond measure!

Among them, perhaps only Louis could even attempt to face a Cosmic-tier opponent.

But even that was merely surviving the clash—he couldn't even suppress it.

Never mind killing a Cosmic-tier beast with a Life Core.

But what of Xu Jingming?

He killed one Cosmic-tier beast in a single exchange.

Now, he was locked in fierce combat with two Cosmic-tier beasts.

This was too outrageous.

"Pity the livestream was cut off.

Otherwise, if this scene had been broadcast, who knows how many would have been stunned."

The petite Mia murmured involuntarily.

"Indeed.

It feels as if we're not even on the same level as him..."

The prodigies present could not help but feel a deep sense of helplessness.

Too strong.

Xu Jingming's might had utterly surpassed the bounds of their comprehension!

Recalling that only three years ago, he had been merely at the peak of Starlight,

this helplessness was layered with an indescribable shock and bewilderment.

Yet, after all, they were prodigies forged in battle, their wills far beyond ordinary men.

After a brief moment of daze, a soft, intoxicating laugh shattered the stagnant air.

"But then again, think of the bright side~"

At the sound of her voice, all turned to see Falah of the God-Slaying Martial Temple, who had somehow tidied her disheveled appearance after her severe injuries.

Even after her crushing defeat and near-death, the innate allure in her eyes and brows had not faded.

Instead, having survived the ordeal, she now exuded an even greater languid, seductive charm.

As her gaze drifted far toward the black figure locked in battle with two demonic beasts, like a demonic god,

her crimson lips parted, her voice soft enough to melt ice:

"Xu Jingming is this strong—if Lady Yeli can hold her ground, our lives seem safe for now."

"After this is over, I'll have to repay him properly..."

Her tone carried her usual casualness.

Yet in those sultry eyes burned an unprecedented fervor and heat.

The God-Slaying Martial Temple has always revered the strong—and she was no exception.
