Chapter 1712: Luoyisi, I've Endured You Long Enough!

"Such a huge divine essence crystal?"

Xu Jingming was stunned, and Wila's excited voice rang out in his mind:

"Holy—!

A divine essence crystal of this level — it's definitely top-grade! Grab it! Grab it quick!"

"Th-this is......"

Chu Kuang, not far off, widened his eyes, his voice trembling slightly.

"A divine essence crystal — how could it possibly be this huge?!"

Mu Wanqing likewise covered her small mouth, her face full of shock.

A trace of surprise also flashed through Ye Li's cool, clear eyes.

Even the well-traveled Luoyisi, Yanzhu God, and Tianyu God were all utterly stunned at this moment.

It is not the case that the larger the divine body, the larger the divine essence crystal condensed.

The divine essence crystal's size is related to the grade of the divine body condensed, as well as various other conditions.

Generally speaking, being able to condense a divine essence crystal two meters tall and two meters wide already counts as top-grade.

A divine essence crystal five meters tall and three meters wide?!

How many Eternal-rank divine bodies, in their complete state, would have to endure endless ages to condense such a colossus?!

"A divine essence crystal of this level is worth at least seven million crystal yuan!"

Luoyisi's breathing grew rapid, and a terrifying light erupted in his crimson eyes!

Seven million crystal yuan!

Even for him, a direct-line descendant of a Realm Venerable family, it was a staggering fortune!

"GRAB IT!!!"

Almost at the same instant, this thought sprang up in the minds of everyone from all four forces.

However—

The spot where the giant crystal rose happened to lie in the region between Xu Jingming's and Luoyisi's squads!

Roughly three thousand kilometers from Xu Jingming, and roughly four thousand kilometers from Luoyisi's squad.

And Yanzhu God of the demon race was currently thirty thousand kilometers away!

Tianyu God was even farther — over forty thousand kilometers!

For strong ones of their caliber.

A distance of thirty or forty thousand kilometers could be crossed in a few breaths.

But in an environment like the Black Stone Ruins, where space was stable and the suppression of laws was extremely strong.

Crossing that distance would take at least a little over a minute!

One minute!

Enough to decide the ownership of this treasure worth seven million crystal yuan!

"Grab it! We move together!"

Ye Li decided on the spot, her cool, clear voice ringing across the battlefield.

She knew perfectly well that fighting separately at a moment like this would be sheer stupidity.

The opponents were a complete squad — they had to divide the work and cooperate!

"Chu Kuang, Wanqing.

You two cover Lei Shen while he seizes the treasure — I'll go deal with Luoyisi!"

Ye Li's words had barely fallen.

Her slender figure had already transformed into a black streak of light, charging straight at Luoyisi!

"Understood!"

Chu Kuang swept his heavy sword sideways, and his fierce, brawny aura erupted with a thunderous boom.

Mu Wanqing raised her jade hand lightly, and a pale cyan glow surged forth from her delicate frame.

It transformed into wave after wave of gentle ripples, enveloping Xu Jingming, Chu Kuang, and Ye Li.

Dual empowerment from the Life Law Origin and the Water Law Origin!

Xu Jingming felt his divine body grow light.

The circulation speed of his divine power skyrocketed by thirty percent, and his clarity of thought improved greatly as well!

"So this is the empowerment of a support-type titled Eternal-rank?"

Xu Jingming was secretly shocked, then grinned: "Awesome!"

"I'll take Keerte!"

He let out a long howl and directly entered his Purple Nightmare Demon Body form.

Gold-green Lei Guang exploded outward as he charged straight at Keerte!

"Su Chen!"

Keerte, far off, darkened his face.

The silver-white battle blade in his hand trembled lightly, and ripples of time flowed along its edge.

"Don't think that just because you repelled me once, I'm easy to deal with!"

He gave a cold shout, and the divine power around him surged wildly!

"Blade of Time!"

Hum—

The silver-white battle blade suddenly blazed with a dazzling light!

The flow of time around the blade became bizarrely strange.

Wherever the blade's edge passed, time seemed to stretch infinitely.

Forming a domain of time-lag, viscous to the extreme!

Yet the blade itself was swift as lightning.

Bearing the terrifying might to sever time itself, it hacked toward Xu Jingming!

A Tier-1 time-system combat technique!

This was Colt's true trump card!

In their last exchange, he hadn't used it at all!

"So you had one hidden up your sleeve."

Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes, but was not flustered in the slightest.

"But against me, it's useless!"

His right hand grasped at empty air, and the Ninefold Thunder Prison Spear materialized out of thin air!

Golden-green Solar Divine Thunder erupted explosively, coiling around the spear shaft!

"Destruction Lianhuan Lei Qiang!"

Xu Jingming gave a low shout, and the long spear shot forth like a dragon!

The faint dark gleam at the spear tip was as deep as a black hole, its aura of destruction compressed to the absolute limit!

A perfected Tier-1 combat technique, clashing head-on with Colt's Blade of Time!

Boom—!!!

The instant spear tip met blade edge, the Law of Time and the Destruction Thunder clashed wildly against each other!

The time-lag domain on Colt's blade tried to slow the thunder spear's speed.

But Xu Jingming's spear was too fast! Too ferocious!

Solar Divine Thunder inherently possessed an extremely strong annihilation property.

Combined with the domineering force of the Law of Destruction, the time domain had barely formed before it was forcibly torn apart by the thunder spear!

"What?!"

Colt's pupils contracted sharply.

He felt that the Law of Time, his pride and confidence, was as fragile as paper before this spear strike!

Clang—!!!

Amid the deafening explosion, the silver-white battle blade in Colt's hand was sent flying outright!

The thunder spear's momentum undiminished, it slammed viciously into his chest!

Puchi!

Colt's divine body, beneath this single spear strike—

Like porcelain struck by a heavy hammer, instantly covered in cracks!

"No—!!!"

This desperate roar had not yet fully spread.

His divine body, in the complete eruption of golden-green thunder, exploded with a boom, shattering into countless fragments!

One strike—

Instant kill!

"This..."

In the distance, Chu Kuang and Mu Wanqing were both stunned.

Even Ye Li, who was charging toward Royce, couldn't help but glance back, a flash of shock crossing her eyes.

Who was Colt?

The direct disciple of the Lord of Time, an Eternal-tier cultivator who primarily cultivated the Origin Law of Time.

Even though the Law of Time was somewhat weaker in combat than higher laws like Destruction and Space.

It shouldn't have been this much of a pushover, right?!

To think he was one-shot killed by Su Chen?!

One must understand,

Before her strength had risen another level, Colt was not much weaker than her.

"Damn it! How did you get this strong?!"

Colt's shattered divine body reconstituted not far away.

His face pale as paper, his eyes filled with terror.

That strike just now had directly cost him 20% of his divine body!

A few more spear strikes like that, and he would undoubtedly die!

Yet half a year ago, the opponent had absolutely no such power!

"I've always been this strong."

Xu Jingming grinned, his smile ice-cold.

His figure moved again.

Golden-green Lei Guang flickered, transforming into Lei Guang as he gave chase to Colt!

"Your Highness! Save me!"

Colt hurriedly called Royce for help.

"Useless trash!"

Royce's crimson eyes went cold.

He's a personal disciple of the Supreme Sovereign, how can he be this weak?

But he couldn't just leave Colt behind—he was his companion, after all.

"Sky-Burning Mirror! Flame Dragon Devours the Heavens!"

Royce growled.

Behind him, the mirror surface of the Sky-Burning Mirror erupted in red light.

The nine fire-dragon patterns seemed to come alive, all opening their maws at once!

"ROAR—!!!"

Nine pillars of crimson fire burst forth.

In the air they wove together into a savage, colossal flame dragon.

The dragon opened its massive jaws and lunged down to devour Xu Jingming!

Wherever the flame dragon passed, space itself melted.

The searing heat made the black-stone ground below begin to melt into lava!

This was one of the Sky-Burning Mirror's killing moves—enough to grievously wound or even one-shot an ordinary Limit-Eternal lifeform!

"Careful!"

Yeli's face shifted slightly; Xu Jingming was charging in far too fast.

Even she couldn't catch up, and now there was no way for her to step in and intercept.

She could only call out a warning.

However—

Facing the terrifying fire dragon lunging to kill him, Xu Jingming actually smiled.

A wild, unrestrained smile.

"Royce, I've put up with you for a long time now."

He spoke slowly, his voice calm.

Yet it carried a chill that made the heart tremble.

"Don't think you're the only one with a supreme treasure!"
