Chapter 1713: Injuring Royce! The Shocked Ye Li!

The moment Xu Jingming's words fell.

Hum!!!

A bead, pitch-black all over, its surface flowing with countless golden secret patterns, appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The bead was only the size of a fist, yet it emitted a terrifying aura that suppressed the myriad heavens!

Chaos Bead!

A Metal-system peak supreme treasure!

"What?!"

Royce's pupils contracted sharply.

Chu Kuang, Mu Wanqing — all of them froze.

Even the Night Candle God and Heavenly Feather God, rushing over at extreme speed from afar, couldn't help but cast astonished gazes.

What a terrifying aura!

It's absolutely a peak supreme treasure!

But when did peak supreme treasures become this common?!

Moreover,

Su Chen, a Lightning-system powerhouse who suddenly popped up.

How could he possibly possess a Metal-system peak supreme treasure?!

"Suppress!"

Xu Jingming let out a low shout, divine power frantically pouring into the Chaos Bead.

Hum—

The golden secret patterns on the Chaos Bead's surface suddenly lit up!

A golden light barrier spread out with the bead as its center.

Instantly enveloping a hundred meters around Xu Jingming!

Nine fire dragons slammed heavily into the light barrier!

Boom rumble—!!!

Amidst the heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosion, crimson flames and golden light frantically clashed!

Space shattered inch by inch, the ground plowed by the aftershocks into gullies hundreds of meters deep.

However—

The Chaos light barrier stood firm as a rock, unmoving.

The terrifying impact of the nine fire dragons was actually blocked head-on by it!

"Blocked?!"

Chu Kuang's eyeballs nearly popped out.

"This is......?"

A flash of shock likewise crossed Ye Li's beautiful eyes, but it immediately turned to realization.

She knew that Xu Jingming had obtained the Star Fall Ruler's inheritance.

However, Xu Jingming primarily cultivated Destruction and Lightning.

His Origin Law attributes didn't match the Chaos Bead.

She had thought Xu Jingming would at least need to step into the Eternal Peak to barely activate the Chaos Bead.

Yet she never expected—

Xu Jingming could use it right now?!

And judging by this might, although it wasn't as perfectly matched as Royce's Heaven-Burning Mirror.

It had absolutely reached the level of an Invincible Eternal stage!

"With a supreme treasure's blessing, Lei Shen already possesses Invincible Eternal stage combat power!"

Chu Kuang reacted, unable to stop himself from sucking in a cold breath.

"Royce, your attack, is that all the power it has?"

Inside the golden light barrier, Xu Jingming slowly raised his head.

Looking at Royce, the corner of his mouth hooked into a mocking arc.

In terms of base combat power, he still wasn't a match for Royce.

After all, the Heaven-Burning Mirror was too perfectly matched to Royce.

And his own divine power was merely at the Eternal Sixth Stage.

But with Mu Qingwan's support amplification, he might not be unable to fight a battle with him!

"Now, it's my turn!"

Xu Jingming let out a low shout, the Chaos Bead suddenly erupting with dazzling golden light!

As a Metal-system peak supreme treasure.

The Chaos Bead possesses two abilities: one is 'Suppress', one is 'Kill'!

The former specializes in defense, the latter in slaughter.

Condensing the might of stars, with the Metal-system Origin's unmatched sharp edge tearing apart everything!

Right now, what Xu Jingming is activating is the Chaos Bead's killing ability!

Only to see the golden secret patterns flowing on the Chaos Bead's surface suddenly detach.

Turning into countless fine golden light dots in midair.

Each light dot seemed like a miniature star, containing terrifying penetrating power and annihilation properties!

"Kill!"

Xu Jingming's right hand clenched virtually, then he suddenly pushed forward!

Boom—!!!

Those countless golden light points instantly condensed into a brilliant light pillar with a diameter exceeding ten thousand meters.

Like a galaxy pouring down, carrying the terrifying might to crush the void, it slammed heavily toward Royce!

Where the light pillar passed, space was easily torn open, leaving pitch-black cracks.

The black stone ground silently annihilated, leaving a bottomless ravine!

"What?!"

Royce's expression changed slightly.

In his haste, he could only hold the Heaven-Burning Mirror horizontally before him.

Dark red flames surged out frantically, forming a thick, massive flame shield!

Clang—!!!

The starlight pillar slammed heavily into the flame shield, erupting with a deafening roar!

The flame shield trembled violently, its surface covered in dense cracks!

Royce only felt an irresistible giant force transmit over; his whole body, as if struck heavily, flew backward!

Pfft!

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The scarlet blood drew an arc in the air; his divine body aura instantly withered by a large margin!

Although the Heaven-Burning Mirror protected his vitals in time.

But the Chaos Pearl's strike's aftershocks still left him with no light injuries; his divine body loss exceeded 3%!

"Royce is injured!"

"He's an Invincible Eternal stage expert!"

Although the injury wasn't severe, this scene still left Chu Kuang and the others staring dumbfounded.

Royce was actually knocked back?!

Especially Ye Li, who knew Xu Jingming's true level clearly.

Her heart was even more shaken by stormy waves.

The Invincible Eternal stage Royce, empowered by the Heaven-Burning Mirror.

Was actually knocked back by an Eternal Sixth Stage?!

This seemingly fantastical event actually happened right before her eyes!

"Little Junior Brother, you've actually become strong to this extent?"

Ye Li couldn't help but murmur softly, her heart shaken incomparably.

"Bastard!"

Royce steadied his figure, his eyes igniting with towering rage!

He, a dignified direct-line descendant of a World Venerate clan.

With the Heaven-Burning Mirror in hand, was actually injured by a Limit Eternal stage who suddenly popped out?!

A strange shame and great humiliation!

"Good, good, good! Su Chen, you've thoroughly enraged me!"

Royce roared.

Divine power around him burned frantically; the Heaven-Burning Mirror's surface suddenly blazed with piercing crimson light!

"Heaven-Burning Mirror — Ultimate Form!!"

Boom—!!!

The nine fire dragon patterns on the Heaven-Burning Mirror's surface seemed to come alive.

They simultaneously detached from the mirror surface, manifesting nine crimson flame dragons ten thousand meters long in midair!

Each flame dragon had distinct scales and armor; violent flames jumped in their dragon pupils; dragon might towered to the heavens!

Even more terrifying, the nine flame dragons coiled around each other.

They faintly formed a massive flame grand array, enveloping Royce within!

Royce's already powerful aura instantly rose another level!

"Good fellow, he can actually still grow stronger?"

Xu Jingming was thoroughly shocked.

Is this the backing of a World Venerate-level ancestor?

Isn't this a bit too overpowered?

"Su Chen, die!!"

Royce grinned hideously.

The nine flame dragons roared in unison.

Carrying the terrifying might to burn the heavens and boil the seas, they pounced to kill toward Xu Jingming!

That might was extremely terrifying; it absolutely wasn't something the current Xu Jingming could withstand.

"Leave the rest to me."

A clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.

Ye Li's graceful figure appeared before Xu Jingming at some unknown time.

Black battle armor clung to her body curves, like a black night goddess.

Her stunningly beautiful face now bore a solemn expression.

In her pitch-black, ink-like pupils, the sky full of flames was reflected, yet there was not a trace of fear.

Her jade hand lifted lightly, and a long sword, entirely pitch-black and archaic in form, appeared in her palm.

The sword body was 1.2 meters long, about three fingers wide.

The blade was dark and lusterless, yet exuded a heart-palpitatingly sharp aura!

The Black Obsidian Sword!

A Primary Heavy Treasure!

Although it was not a Peak Heavy Treasure like Royce's and Xu Jingming's.

But as an Invincible Immortal, Ye Li also had her own capital.

"Royce, your opponent is me."

Ye Li gave a light shout, and the pitch-black long sword suddenly lit up with a profound, dark radiance!

Her figure moved like lightning.

Her slender, graceful form traced an elegant yet fierce trajectory through the air, a single sword slash chopping toward the pouncing flame dragon!

Tear—!

The sword light was like ink, tearing through the flames!

A flame dragon struck by the sword light let out a pained, shrill roar.

The massive dragon body was actually forcibly cleaved open with a huge gash!

"Ye Li, you're courting death!"

Royce roared in rage, no longer able to concern himself with coveting Ye Li's beauty.

Controlling the remaining eight flame dragons to crazily besiege Ye Li.

Yet Ye Li did not fear in the slightest; her slender, graceful form shuttled through the flames.

Every swing of the Black Obsidian Sword precisely struck a flame dragon's vital point.

Sword lights crisscrossed, actually holding off eight flame dragons single-handedly!

"What powerful swordsmanship! Worthy of the Night God!"

Chu Kuang watched with boiling blood, his heavy sword held horizontally:

"Lei Shen, I'll go deal with Colt and the others!

You go get the Divine Nature Crystal!"
