Chapter 1721: Shocking Strength! Prepare to Enslave!

「Royce! Still not making a move?! Do you want to watch me die?!

If I die, you're next! 」

One hit erased 15% of the divine body!

As an invincible immortal-tier Nightmare Candle God, he was thoroughly panicked.

He roared at Royce while ordering the other three demon immortal-tier beings:

「All together! Kill him! 」

「Yes! 」

The three demon powerhouses braced against the suppression of the Chaos Pearl.

Unleashing all their divine power, they lunged at Xu Jingming to slaughter him!

「What ants, dare to join the fight? 」

Xu Jingming's expression remained unchanged, too lazy even to glance at them.

He raised his left hand, golden-green lightning converging in his palm!

「Solar Divine Lightning! 」

Boom——!!!

A dazzling golden lightning sea erupted with Xu Jingming at its center, instantly engulfing a radius of ten thousand meters!

The three demon immortal-tier beings, having just charged into the lightning sea's range, were drowned by endless lightning!

「No——!!! 」

「My divine body! 」

Shrill screams echoed within the lightning sea.

Under the terrifying might of the Solar Divine Lightning, the three demon powerhouses' divine bodies melted at a visible speed.

That terrifying power left them horrified, and they instantly retreated from the lightning sea.

「Just that instant, my divine body was erased by 10%?! 」

An extreme immortal-tier demon's face showed shock.

The remaining two demons similarly suffered heavy losses, too afraid to re-enter the lightning sea.

「So strong! 」

「Awesome! 」

Chu Kuang and Mu Wanqing, who had caught their breath in the distance, were overjoyed, their eyes full of astonishment.

They had thought Xu Jingming, after breaking through, could barely hold off Royce and the Nightmare Candle God—that would already be good.

But they never expected him to be this strong.

One spear repelled the Nightmare Candle God.

Casually unleashed, the lightning sea alone deterred even extreme immortal-tier demons from approaching!

This is not seventh-tier immortal—this is clearly a top-tier existence among invincible immortals!

「Your Highness, should we intervene? 」

On the other side, Keerte spoke hesitantly.

「Let me intervene? He's dreaming! 」

Royce snorted coldly, a hint of cunning flashing in his scarlet eyes:

「We'll just watch here, don't intervene. 」

「But Your Highness, if the Nightmare Candle God falls later and Su Chen attacks us, what then? 」

Keerte looked worried.

Su Chen's displayed power was too terrifying.

The suppression of the Chaos Pearl, plus that terrifying lightning and destruction law.

Even the Nightmare Candle God was being beaten down—if we went up, wouldn't we be throwing our lives away?

If not for the entire battlefield being shrouded in the Chaos Pearl's terrifying might,

his flight speed being extremely slow, he would have probably fled long ago.

「He dares! 」

Royce snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain:

「I am the direct lineage of the World-Honored Clan.

If he dares to move against me, he is making an enemy of my entire clan!

That Su Chen, a nobody who suddenly popped up, has no backing—does he dare to move against me? 」

Royce was full of confidence.

In his view, Xu Jingming, no matter how strong, would never dare to really kill him.

After all, his backing is not something a mere immortal-tier can provoke!

「But he doesn't seem to care about the clan...... 」

Keerte wanted to say more, but Royce cut him off:

「No buts!

The Nightmare Candle God is at least an invincible immortal-tier.

His strength isn't that weak!

We're just waiting.

Wait for him and Su Chen to both lose, then we'll step in to clean up the mess.

By then, the inheritance, divine crystals, treasures, even Ye Li!

They're all ours!

A flash of greed passed through his eyes.

As if he had already seen himself reaping a bountiful harvest.

However—

At the center of Lei Hai, Xu Jingming gave the Nightmare Candle God no chance to catch his breath!

Only to see him holding his spear, his body moving like lightning.

Every flash carried the explosive roar of Lei Ting.

The Ninefold Thunder Prison Spear in his hand transformed into a deadly dark light, each thrust aimed straight at the Nightmare Candle God's vital points!

"Damn it!

This speed, this power—how could it possibly be something a Seventh Stage Immortal could possess?!"

Demonic flames formed layer upon layer of shields around the Nightmare Candle God's body.

Yet before that spear wrapped in annihilating Lei Ting, they were as fragile as paper mache.

"Pfft!"

Another spear, precisely piercing the base of his left wing.

"Ah—!!!"

The Nightmare Candle God let out a piercing shriek, his dark purple demon wings torn apart violently.

His divine body suffered an additional 10% loss in an instant!

"Run! I must run!"

Finally, an uncontrollable fear rose in his heart.

What kind of Seventh Stage Immortal is this? This is clearly a god of slaughter born from Lei Ting!

"Pfft!"

Yet Xu Jingming thrust his spear again!

This time, the spear tip pierced straight through the Nightmare Candle God's chest, and the Yang Day Doushen Shenlei exploded inside his body.

"No—!!!"

The Nightmare Candle God's divine body trembled violently, his loss breaking through the 70% threshold!

He could feel his consciousness beginning to blur, his divine power growing increasingly sluggish.

"No! Don't kill me anymore!

I surrender! Su Chen! I surrender!

You also possess demon blood, so we are half of the same kin.

I am willing to hand over all my treasures! Spare my life!"

The Nightmare Candle God finally collapsed.

What dignity of the demon race, what pride of the invincible Immortal Stage—before death, they are not worth mentioning.

However, Xu Jingming's eyes were icy cold like iron, without the slightest wavering.

"Surrender?"

He spoke slowly:

"From the moment you attacked Ye Li, the outcome was already decided."

As his words faded, Xu Jingming's figure vanished once more.

In the next instant, he appeared above the Nightmare Candle God's head.

Spear raised high, golden-green Lei Ting madly gathered, then suddenly thrust forward!

Splatter—!!

This thrust seemed to draw down the Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment.

The spear shaft transformed into a pillar of Lei Ting light piercing through heaven and earth.

Carrying an aura of annihilation that destroys all, it came down fiercely!

"No!!!"

The Nightmare Candle God let out his final despairing roar.

Burning his divine body, he gathered all his divine power to condense a dark purple giant shield.

However—

"Crack!"

The giant shield shattered on impact.

The Lei Ting light pillar poured into the Nightmare Candle God's body without obstruction.

"Hiss hiss hiss......"

A piercing sound of melting began.

The Nightmare Candle God's massive demonic form.

Under the ravaging of the Yang Day Doushen Shenlei, melted away as swiftly as ice and snow meeting the sun.

70%... 80%......

Do you know, the divine bodies of Immortal Spirits cannot suffer infinite loss?

Once loss exceeds 15%, they fall into slumber due to insufficient divine power.

Amidst the violent golden-green Lei Guang.

The Nightmare Candle God quickly fell into complete darkness of consciousness due to massive loss of his divine body.

His shattered body fell from midair, his breath weakened to the extreme.

Xu Jingming waved his hand.

He did not kill him outright, but instead collected his ruined body into a World Ring.

Unlike the World Ring where Ye Li stayed, this was another World Ring.

There were no woods and no small building; it was usually used by him to pile up miscellaneous items.

"Master, do you want to enslave him?"

In the sea of consciousness, Weila, having returned to her little loli form, asked curiously.

"Mm."

Xu Jingming did not conceal it:

"An Invincible Eternal-stage combat power — killing him just like that would be a waste.

After enslaving him and sending him back to Blue Star, he would also be a decent help."

Most critically, killing the Realm Lord-level remnant soul just now earned 2 million quality points.

Since quality points are not lacking, there is no need to rush to kill.

Moreover, Blue Star indeed lacks top combat power to hold the fort."
