Chapter 1579: It

The instant Xu Jingming unleashed his killing domain, the entire square fell into an unnerving silence.

A blood-red domain thirty thousand kilometers in diameter expanded like a swelling crimson star.

In the virtual universe's projection, it radiated a chilling aura that made souls tremble!

"What level of proficiency is this?!"

A Star-8 War General whispered in shock.

Everyone had witnessed the power of a killing domain through Lin Qianxue.

Suppressing six peers within a hundred-kilometer radius was already considered miraculous.

But Xu Jingming's domain... thirty thousand kilometers in diameter!

Three hundred times Lin Qianxue's!

"Definitely not advanced proficiency!"

"How could an advanced proficiency killing domain reach such scale?"

"Could it be Master level? Or Grandmaster level?"

"......"

Gasps and sharp intakes of breath rose in waves.

Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, Grandmaster, Perfection—these were the stages of combat proficiency.

Advancing through each stage was extremely difficult!

Raising proficiency in killing techniques required profound understanding of the essence of killing and immense accumulation of killing aura.

When the Nine-Sword Dominator originally created this art, he himself took a full thousand years to advance from Advanced to Perfection.

But now...

"No."

High above, the Nine-Sword Dominator spoke slowly.

His face, usually as cold as ice frozen for ten thousand years, now bore a clear mark of shock.

His voice was not loud, yet it exploded like thunder in every soul: "It's Perfection level."

"Perfection level?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"Three months? Perfection level?!"

The square erupted instantly; countless gazes locked onto the black figure engulfed by the blood-red domain in the holographic projection.

Their eyes filled with horror and bewilderment.

Perfection level!

The highest realm of killing techniques!

This meant Xu Jingming's comprehension and mastery of this art was utterly complete—beyond any further depth.

He stood at the same height as its creator, the Nine-Sword Dominator!

"Shuang Mian really has an exceptional disciple!"

The Nine-Sword Dominator, stunned, murmured softly.

As the Supreme Dominator, he had seen countless prodigies and taught innumerable brilliant talents.

Yet such a monster as Xu Jingming—

In his billion-year existence, he had never encountered one before!

"Shuang Mian's luck is truly enviable."

The Nine-Sword Dominator sighed inwardly.

He had many disciples, several of them brilliant and extraordinary.

Yet not one resembled Xu Jingming.

Meanwhile, the many War Generals in the square were utterly stunned.

"Is it really Perfection level?!"

"How did he achieve this in three months?!"

"Monster! This is the true monster!"

"......"

Shocked gazes flickered back and forth between Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue.

Lin Qianxue reaching Advanced proficiency in three months was already shocking enough.

But Xu Jingming reached Perfection outright!

This wasn't shock anymore—it was terror!

"Lady Lin."

A sultry, intoxicating voice suddenly sounded.

Yin Hongyu had somehow appeared beside Lin Qianxue.

Her peach-blossom eyes fixed intently on Xu Jingming ahead, blazing with unhidden ardor:

"You've been with him these past three months—do you know how he did it?"

Lin Qianxue glanced at her, her frosty face expressionless:

"He just broke through while practicing."

Even though her relationship with Yin Hongyu was fairly good, she revealed no further details.

In truth, the facts were exactly as she said.

Xu Jingming simply ascended naturally, without effort.

All one could say was that she was exceptionally gifted—even she couldn't understand it.

"Oh? Really?"

Yin Hongyu tilted her head, a knowing smile curving her crimson lips.

She drew closer to Lin Qianxue, her ample chest nearly pressing against her.

Her voice dropped to a whisper, soft and sweet as a plea:

"My dear sister, don't you have Xu Jingming's Virtual Universe contact?"

Could you... give me one?"

Lin Qianxue's pale golden eyes narrowed slightly.

She knew Yin Hongyu too well.

This woman appeared alluring and carefree, but her standards were impossibly high—ordinary men couldn't even catch her eye.

But once she set her sights on someone, trouble followed.

"I'm sorry."

Lin Qianxue turned away, her voice as cold as ever: "I don't have it."

"Oh? Our Lin Immortal is guarding her treasure now."

Yin Hongyu giggled, her laughter melting into the bones, drawing glances from nearby warlords.

She leaned close to Lin Qianxue's ear, her breath fragrant as orchids:

"Don't worry, sister won't take him from you—I'm just curious."

Lin Qianxue's expression remained icy, silent.

But deep inside, she knew not a single word of that was true.

This woman never stopped until she got what she wanted.

She'd have to warn her junior brother to stay far away from this wicked woman.

Yin Hongyu didn't get angry when Lin Qianxue ignored her.

She merely smiled sweetly at the holographic projection, pondering how to directly ask Xu Jingming for his contact.

These two had always been quite close friends.

Yet now, because of Xu Jingming, their thoughts had diverged completely.

And at the same time—

In the Virtual Universe.

The instant Xu Jingming unleashed his Killing Domain.

The nine nine-star warrior-class alien beings were trapped as if in an endless sea of blood and mud, unable to move an inch!

"Roar—!"

The horned demon at the front let out a furious bellow.

Demonic flames erupted wildly around him, trying to break free of the domain's suppression.

But the crimson domain clung to it like a living thing, binding it tightly.

Visions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood flashed wildly in its mind; the wails of the dead nearly tore its soul apart!

The other eight aliens suffered the same fate.

The beast-like yao creatures' scales stood on end, their demonic energy pushed to its limit.

Yet they could barely move within the domain, slowed by more than tenfold!

The insect queen's compound eyes blazed with a ghostly light, her mental force forming countless needle-like spikes that slammed toward Xu Jingming.

But the moment those spikes entered the Killing Domain, they were riddled with holes by the chilling killing aura, their power reduced to less than one-tenth!

"Too weak."

Xu Jingming stood at the domain's center, shaking his head.

He hadn't even activated his Purple Nightmare Demon Body or unleashed any Core Secret Techniques.

He simply raised his right hand, palm upward.

"Hum—"

Black lightning gathered in his palm, coalescing in an instant into a Lei Mao a hundred meters long!

The Lei Mao was pitch black, wrapped in dark crimson killing aura, radiating a terrifying force that destroyed all things!

Then, Xu Jingming pushed his right hand forward.

Shhh—!!!

The Lei Mao tore through space, becoming a bolt of black lightning that instantly pierced the space where the nine aliens stood!

Boom—!!!

The deafening explosion echoed across the stars!

At the moment the Lei Mao shattered, black lightning and dark crimson killing aura intertwined and raged wildly.

Transforming into a storm of annihilation that completely swallowed the nine aliens!

"No—!!!"

The desperate screams were cut off mid-cry within the storm.

Three seconds later.

The lightning faded, the killing aura retracted.

The entire asteroid belt fell silent once more.

The nine nine-star warrior-class aliens were utterly erased—no remains left!

The holographic projection froze on the moment Xu Jingming slowly withdrew his right hand.

His killing domain slowly retracted, the dark red energy flowing back into his body.

His black battle robe remained spotless, his expression calm, as if he had merely swatted away nine flies.
