Chapter 1536: Leave It to Me! Amazing Source Point Harvest!

The cabin fell silent instantly.

Lyel and Shi Shan both froze, glancing at You Yue, then at Xu Jingming.

Duke also blinked in surprise, then furrowed his thick eyebrows slightly.

Xu Jingming's combat power has indeed been confirmed by the captain.

But this is still his first mission.

Letting a rookie on his first mission act alone carries too much risk.

Just as he shook his head to reject the proposal—

"Fine, leave it to me."

Xu Jingming's voice rang out calmly.

"You're sure?"

The alien races on the extraterrestrial battlefield are far more ferocious and battle-experienced than those in our human territories."

Duke was taken aback.

"Captain, rest assured, I know what I'm doing." Xu Jingming smiled.

Ten Universe Rank Six, plus five Universe Rank Seven.

This lineup, if placed on the Noah Empire's side, would be enough to sweep an entire star region.

But in his current eyes, it wasn't enough to frighten him.

"Alright then."

Duke paused, then finally nodded, "You strike first.

If anything seems off, or the battle turns unfavorable, we'll intervene immediately.

Remember, on the extraterrestrial battlefield, survival comes first—don't be reckless."

"Understood." Xu Jingming nodded.

Soon, the Shadow Strike silently landed on a barren rocky plain in the northern hemisphere.

Only twenty kilometers from the target canyon region.

The hatch slid open soundlessly; cold outer-space air rushed in, carrying a peculiar scent of sulfur and metal.

This planet is not a life-bearing world; ordinary humans couldn't survive here.

Xu Jingming flashed forward, shooting out of the ship and racing toward the target.

The planet's surface gravity was extremely high, but it had negligible effect on him, now wielding the Star Core Lei Gang Body.

He moved like a black lightning bolt skimming the ground, covering kilometers in mere breaths.

"Soul Eye, activate!"

He stirred his mind, and his eyes shimmered with a faint golden halo.

His vision expanded and deepened instantly!

The terrain of the canyon twenty kilometers ahead became crystal clear in his mind.

Not only that—he could even "see" the flow paths of Yuan energy.

Fifteen blazing, fiery life-energy sources clustered in a relatively flat area deep within the canyon.

Their energy fluctuations were wild, chaotic, bearing unmistakable demon-race characteristics.

"Demons," Xu Jingming realized.

Demons are one of the common enemy races on the extraterrestrial battlefield.

They possess formidable physical bodies, violent temperaments, and excel at close-quarters combat.

He did not rush forward immediately, but halted about ten kilometers from the canyon entrance.

This distance was well within the maximum lethal range of Heavenly Thunder Break.

"Purple Nightmare Demon Body!"

Hum—

His aura erupted violently!

Xu Jingming's height surged to three point three meters, his body wreathed in demonic aura, his eyes turned deep purple-black.

Devastating pitch-black thunder erupted from within, coiling around the entire body!

"Let's test the power of my new technique on you."

Xu Jingming's lips curled into a cold smile as he stirred his mind.

"Heavenly Thunder Break!"

Boom—!!!

The heavens and earth darkened instantly!

Not because light vanished—but because the jet-black thunder that split from the void was too brilliant, too violent!

As if it had devoured all surrounding light!

A black thunder column, a hundred meters thick, pierced through the sky.

It struck with pinpoint precision into the region where the ten clustered Universe Rank Six energy sources lay at the canyon's center!

In an instant, the ground shook violently!

Terrifying thunder energy exploded, fracturing into countless dense, frenzied black arcs.

Like a blooming flower of death, it instantly engulfed a ten-kilometer radius!

Rocks vaporized, the earth cracked open, searing heat waves mixed with annihilating thunder surged outward in wild fury!

"Roar—!!!"

A shrill, brief roar erupted from the center of the lightning, then cut off abruptly.

In the Soul Eye's vision, ten blazing sources of life energy.

Like candles swept away by a gale, they extinguished instantly!

'Ding! Slain one Cosmic Rank Six Flame Demon, Source Points +3.81 million!'

'Ding! Slain one Cosmic Rank Six Horned Demon, Source Points +3.82 million!'

'Ding......'

Ten crisp system alerts rang out in quick succession within his mind!

While filling Xu Jingming with delight,

the subsequent Source Points gains sent a violent shock through his heart!

Three million eight hundred thousand Source Points!

Each Cosmic Rank Six Demon had provided over three million eight hundred thousand Source Points!

Back when he was on Blood Refining Star and the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Realm,

slaying Cosmic Rank One Beasts typically yielded only around three hundred thousand Source Points.

These Cosmic Rank Six Demons provided over ten times the Source Points of Cosmic Rank One Beasts!

Ten of them!

Instantly, thirty-eight million Source Points flooded in!

'Awesome! This is so exhilarating!'

Xu Jingming's eyes flashed with brilliant light, an indescribable surge of excitement rising in his heart.

At Star Dome Academy, even entering the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Realm, one could earn only a hundred million Source Points per month.

At most, eight or nine million Source Points per day.

But now, with a single strike, Source Points surged like a flood!

This efficiency was countless times faster than hunting Star Rank Beasts!

The Outland Battlefield was truly a treasure trove for rapidly boosting his strength!

Yet, the battle was not over.

'Despicable human!'

'Kill him!'

Furious roars erupted from deep within the canyon.

Five even stronger, more savage auras surged into the sky!

The remaining five Cosmic Rank Seven Demons were utterly enraged by their companions' instant annihilation.

Their bodies burned with dark red hellfire.

Muscles bulged, jagged bony spines sprouted from their backs, wielding massive axes or heavy hammers wreathed in flame.

Like five burning meteors, they charged toward Xu Jingming!

Speed blinding, killing intent overwhelming!

'Perfect timing!'

Xu Jingming's battle spirit soared; his Thunderwing back erupted open!

On the pitch-black wings, thunder runes flowed, and with a single gentle flap,

his form blurred into a faint afterimage, charging headlong toward the five Demons!

'Roar!'

The horned Demon at the front swung his flaming great axe, cleaving downward with the power to rip apart space!

Before the blade even reached, searing heat waves slammed into his face.

Xu Jingming's body twisted unnaturally midair, evading the axe blow by a hair's breadth.

The Black-Gold Lei Yu Spear was already in his grip.

The spear's shaft was sheathed in dense, solid black lightning; its tip glowed with a pinpoint of ultimate destruction.

'Lightning Extreme Thrust!'

No flashy energy fluctuations—only speed. Absolute speed!

The spear shot forth like a bolt of black lightning—faster than time itself!

The horned Demon's pupils shrank violently.

All it saw was a speck of black light rapidly expanding before its eyes—no time to block or dodge!

Plos!

The Black-Gold Lei Yu Spear pierced its left shoulder with perfect precision.

The violent Annihilation Divine Thunder within the spearhead surged in, instantly crushing its core of life!

'Ding! Slain one Cosmic Rank Seven Horned Demon, Source Points +4.6 million!'

Xu Jingming flicked his wrist, withdrawing the spear and spraying a jet of dark purple demonic blood.

He didn't glance at the falling corpse, his Thunderwing flared again.

His form darted like a phantom along an arc, lunging straight at another horned Demon wielding a hammer behind him.

The horned Demon reacted swiftly, roaring as it swung its flaming heavy hammer down.

The hammer's wind howled, sealing off most of Xu Jingming's escape routes.

Soul Eye activated to full power!

In Xu Jingming's vision, the horned Demon's attack trajectory,

the weak point in its primal flow, the left side of its chest where its core resided—all crystal clear!

He did not block the hammer.

But at the moment the hammer struck, his body shifted slightly, as if weightless, following the hammer's momentum.

Simultaneously, the spear slid along the hammer's shaft like a venomous snake striking its tongue, piercing straight for the target's vital core!

"Puff!"

Another kill with a single spear thrust!

Precise, efficient, cold-blooded!
