Chapter 1818

Xu Jingming's violet-red pupils abruptly contracted, his gaze fixed dead on that long spear.

This was a long spear, its entire body a dark purple.

The spear shaft was about five meters long, thick as an adult demon's arm.

The spear shaft was straight as a brush stroke, its surface engraved with countless ancient and ferocious demon runes.

These runes were not static, but slowly flowing, like living things!

The spear tip was even more startling, presenting a deep purple-black color.

On each side were three twisted blood grooves.

Deep within the blood grooves, fresh blood seemed to flow, exuding a heart-palpitating killing aura!

The pressure emitted by the entire long spear far surpassed any supreme treasure Xu Jingming had seen before!

Even the Chaos Pearl in his hand appeared somewhat inferior before this long spear.

"This spear is named 'Lei Yu Annihilation Spear', a peak supreme treasure."

Venerable Minghuang's voice rang out on cue:

"Using Lei Yu Demon Gold as the main material, fused with Destruction Obsidian, 'Void Purple Crystal', and seventeen other rare materials.

Forged over three thousand years by my Blood Demon Palace's artifact refinement grandmaster.

It was originally crafted for an Undying Controller under the Blood Demon Palace.

Unfortunately, he perished during a secret realm expedition.

This spear has been sealed in the treasury ever since."

Venerable Minghuang looked at Xu Jingming, a hint of depth flashing in his black eyes:

"From now on, it belongs to you."

Xu Jingming took a deep breath.

He stepped forward, reaching out to grasp the spear shaft.

"Hum—!"

The long spear violently trembled!

Terrifying lightning and power of destruction surged into his body along his arm, as if to tear him apart!

But Xu Jingming let out a cold snort, four origin laws erupting simultaneously!

"Quiet down for me!"

He shouted low, vast divine power forcibly suppressing the long spear's resistance.

The Lei Yu Annihilation Spear struggled for a moment, then gradually calmed down.

The demon runes on the spear shaft began to actively resonate with Xu Jingming's divine power.

The aura emitted also shifted from violent to docile.

"Good spear!"

Lei Guang surged in Xu Jingming's eyes, unable to hold back his praise.

He could clearly feel.

This long spear perfectly matched his own lightning and destruction origins!

Once unleashed, its power would increase by at least three to four times!

"A supreme treasure is originally a Controller-level weapon; a peak supreme treasure even more so."

Venerable Minghuang reminded:

"Your current realm is still low, unable to fully unleash its full power.

But as your strength rises, it will become your most reliable partner."

"Disciple understands, many thanks for Master's gift of treasure!"

Xu Jingming respectfully saluted, his heart full of joy.

With this Lei Yu Annihilation Spear, his combat strength would rise another level!

"Though the supreme treasure is strong, it requires corresponding strength to control."

Venerable Minghuang stood still in a blood-colored long robe, and reminded again:

"You have not yet stepped into the Controller stage.

Do not overly rely on external objects; self-cultivation is the foundation."

"Disciple will remember."

Xu Jingming respectfully saluted, "Then in a while I will set off and leave this place."

The past two days he had already told Venerable Minghuang his action plan.

First return to Phantom Demon Star, then return to his hometown.

As for Elise, she would accompany him back to Phantom Demon Star for a period of time.

After all, his system panel level still had no stat allocation option appearing afterward.

He still needed Elise to cooperate and put in more effort.

"Mm."

Venerable Minghuang nodded slightly, gaze turning to Elise at the side:

"Since you are to go to Phantom Demon Star together with Xue Yuan.

Remember not to be greedy for play, cultivate with a calm mind.

You have reached the Eternal peak.

Only a step away from the Controller stage; this is a critical period."

Just now when transmitting over.

How could she fail to notice the lingering aura and the springtime glow in Illya's brows and eyes?

This daughter of hers possessed peerless talent, and her disposition had always been cold and self-disciplined; cultivation never required her worry.

But now... she found herself harboring some doubts.

Upon hearing this, Illya naturally understood exactly what her mother meant.

A flush of crimson instantly rose on Bai Xi's lovely face.

She lowered her head, muttering softly to herself:

"An-anyway, I have a Succubus Saint Body.

That counts as cultivation too... what's wrong with that......"

Though her voice was low, how could it escape the perception of a Realm Venerate powerhouse?

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Venerate Minghuang's willow brows arched.

Only then did Illya hurriedly raise her head, putting on an obedient appearance:

"I said, I'll listen to Mother in everything, and I'll definitely cultivate properly!"

Xu Jingming, watching from the side, couldn't help but chuckle inwardly at the sight.

Besides him, probably only Teacher Minghuang could keep her in check.

"That's more like it."

Venerate Minghuang gave a slight nod, then turned to look at Xu Jingming:

"Blood Abyss, then I'll entrust my daughter to you."

"Teacher, rest assured!

As long as your disciple lives, I absolutely won't let Illya suffer even a shred of grievance!"

Xu Jingming's expression turned solemn.

Although he was of the human race, standing opposed to the demon race.

But this nominal master, Venerate Minghuang, had truly treated him well.

Illya was his woman even more so; whether by sentiment or reason, he would protect her completely.

"Mm." Venerate Minghuang gave a slight nod, saying no more.

Her blood-colored long robe brushed lightly, and space rippled.

Her voluptuous, tall figure faded away gradually, as if merging into the void.

The courtyard fell quiet.

"Phew..."

Illya let out a breath of relief.

She patted her chest, and that proud curve trembled lightly with the motion.

She stuck out her tongue, muttering in a low voice:

"Mother's look just now scared me to death......"

"Only know fear now? Weren't you just acting all righteous and confident a moment ago?"

Xu Jingming looked at her with amusement.

"I didn't say anything wrong! That originally counts as cultivation too!"

Illya's lovely face flushed slightly, and she glared at him coquettishly.

She spoke with righteous confidence, yet a trace of shame flashed in her violet pupils.

"That's not wrong, admittedly."

Xu Jingming gave a low laugh, reaching out to encircle her slender waist:

"But we have to pause for a while first; we're going to find Lord Huanmo first."

"Mm."

Illya nodded, very naturally hooking her arm through his.

By the time Xu Jingming brought Illya to arrive.

In the central region of the floating land, Lord Huanmo had already been waiting for a long time.

She wore a magnificent long dress, standing with graceful dignity, with her daughter Lin Yin standing beside her.

Lin Yin wore a dark purple battle outfit, her countenance cold and beautiful, her figure tall and straight.

Only when looking at Xu Jingming did the depths of her violet pupils faintly carry an undisguised scorching heat.

Besides them, there was another tall figure — precisely Lord Heifeng!

"Lord Huanmo, Lord Heifeng."

Xu Jingming brought Illya forward, giving a slight bow.

"Blood Abyss, you've come."

Lord Huanmo stood with graceful dignity; when her violet eyes fell on Xu Jingming, a flash of astonishment crossed them:

"But in just a few short days, your aura has become extraordinary.

It seems the opportunity Venerate Minghuang bestowed is no small matter."

In just a few days of not meeting, the pressure around Xu Jingming's body had become even more condensed and substantial.

The faintly circulating spatial fluctuations made even her feel heart palpitations.

In the depths of those violet-red pupils.

It seemed to hide some ancient, noble mark, making one dare not look directly.

"Lord Huanmo overpraises." Xu Jingming replied modestly.

"Blood Abyss, congratulations!

First on the scoreboard, and again taken as a personal disciple by the Nether Phoenix Venerable—now you're famous across all the star domains!"

The Black Wind Overlord grinned, his voice like muffled thunder, and immediately spoke with some doubt:

"There's something I want to ask.

The ten immortals of my Black Wind Star Domain.

After entering the Abyss, they vanished without a trace, their scores all dropping to zero.

You entered with them back then—do you know what happened to them?"
