Chapter 1929: Two Great Ultimate Arts! Xueyuan, It Really Is You!

Xu Jingming wanted to turn Illya, but how to do so was a major problem.

The Heart-Eroding Pattern definitely wouldn't work.

Illya definitely had soul defenses left by Reverend Minghuang on her.

Given Reverend Minghuang's protective and cautious nature.

How could he possibly let his own daughter walk the universe without any defenses?

If he switched back to the Xueyuan identity and appeared before Illya with that demon body, it might work.

But that would require explaining his whereabouts.

There were too many loopholes in between; the slightest carelessness would bring great trouble.

"Take it slow, no rush."

Xu Jingming pondered no further, turning to look at the golden light sphere beside him:

"Number One, open the virtual universe's Ultimate Art combat technique vault."

Ultimate Art combat techniques!

Only World Venerable-level powerhouses can create them!

After becoming a Star Patroller, this was the part he was most interested in.

After being promoted to Patrol Star Envoy, this was the part he found most interesting.

Number One responded, the golden light sphere flashing rapidly.

Number One responded, and the golden light sphere flashed rapidly.

Massive data streams intertwined before Xu Jingming, forming a huge combat technique list.

There weren't many Ultimate Art combat techniques, fewer than a hundred in total.

Only 11 of them came from the Eternal Star Alliance and could be read directly.

The other Ultimate Arts all came from the God-Slaying Martial Hall or other forces.

To consult them, corresponding exchange prices were required.

"The strongest combat technique I currently have is only T0-level; it indeed needs updating."

Xu Jingming pondered briefly, carefully selecting among these techniques.

With his current realm and combat strength, T0-level techniques clearly couldn't keep up anymore.

Especially when facing End Ruler-level opponents.

Lacking a true Ultimate Art killing move was ultimately a disadvantage.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Return to Origin Holy Hall, demon clan residential area.

Inside an elegant small building, the now-settled Illya sat alone on the sofa.

Her purple eyes gazed at the pale golden sky outside the window, her stunning face carrying a hint of absentmindedness.

In her mind, that moment of strangeness when she brushed past Xu Jingming replayed repeatedly.

She would absolutely not mistake it.

At that moment, her Succubus Saint Body actually heated up slightly, as if yearning for something.

Even more shocking to her.

The pink mark on her lower abdomen, personally left by Xueyuan, also faintly heated up, as if resonating!

She had only ever felt this sensation from one person.

"Xu Jingming... why is his aura so similar to Xueyuan's?"

Illya murmured softly, her amethyst-like eyes full of confusion.

Mother had her approach Xu Jingming to investigate the bloodline secret art he cultivated.

At first, she only treated it as an ordinary mission.

But thinking back now, Mother's intent was probably far more than that.

"Could it be that Xueyuan and Xu Jingming are actually the same person?"

Illya felt more and more that something was off.

She abruptly stood up, her dark purple long hair lifting lightly with the motion.

That proud bosom trembled breathtakingly beneath her skirt.

Slender waist and ample hips outlined a suffocating curve.

"No, I have to test him face to face!"

Illya hesitated no longer, waving a jade hand.

Her figure turned into a streak of dark purple light, heading straight out of the small building.

As Reverend Minghuang's daughter, she had a special resonance with the Netherworld Minghuang clan.

If Xu Jingming was Xueyuan, a face-to-face probe would definitely reveal some anomaly.

Virtual universe, inside the mountaintop villa on Tianfeng Mountain.

Xu Jingming had already selected two Ultimate Art combat techniques.

The first, named "Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment".

A lightning-system Ultimate Art combat technique, condensing Doushen Shenlei into a nine-layer Thunder Punishment spear.

It could pierce a single target or bombard an area.

Cultivated to perfection, one spear could annihilate a star and shatter a galaxy.

It perfectly matched his Lightning Ultimate Boundary.

It perfectly matches his Lightning Ultimate Realm.

The second gate is called 《World-Destroying Lianhuan Lei Qiang》.

A Destruction-system Absolute Mastery spear technique, a single thrust annihilates all things.

"Two techniques, one for close combat, one for ranged.

《Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment》 only requires the Thunder Extreme Realm; you can cultivate it now.

《World-Destroying Lianhuan Lei Qiang》 requires the Destruction Extreme Realm; I can begin cultivating it after I allocate points to the Destruction Extreme Realm.

However, you can also study the manuals now to prepare for future point allocation."

Xu Jingming's mind stirred, and he chose to exchange.

"《Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment》, 《World-Destroying Lianhuan Lei Qiang》—exchange successful."

"Prompt: This technique is of Absolute Mastery level, with extremely high comprehension difficulty; please prepare for long-term contemplation.

If you cannot understand the manual, you may pay to have a World Lord-tier technique founder personally explain it."

The alert tone of Number One sounded in his ear.

At the same time, the two manuals appeared out of thin air on the villa bookshelf, available for reading at any time.

"Star Patrol Envoys can read Absolute Mastery techniques for free—this is quite good."

Xu Jingming gave a slight nod.

With his current Supreme Sovereign Realm cultivation, understanding these two techniques is not impossible.

But Absolute Mastery techniques are ultimately profound and obscure.

Roughly estimated, it will also take one or two months to gain a preliminary understanding, after which point allocation via Deep Blue can proceed.

"Ordinary Sovereign Realm cultivators cannot even come into contact with Absolute Mastery techniques, let alone cultivate them.

Even World Lord-tier powerhouses typically require tens of thousands of years just to begin contemplation.

My speed is already extraordinarily heaven-defying."

Xu Jingming was about to take down the manuals to study them thoroughly.

Suddenly—

"Heaven Punishment Sovereign, are you there?"

A clear, cold voice with a hint of familiarity, female, came from outside the villa.

Xu Jingming was slightly startled.

Even though he was in the virtual universe.

His Perfected Spirit Refining Technique's divine sense still enveloped the entire villa, and he immediately sensed the visitor.

Only to see a dark-purple graceful figure standing quietly outside the villa.

Dark-purple long hair, delicate horns, a heart-shaped tail swaying gently.

Her proud chest strained the front of her dress tightly—it was Iris.

At this moment, she deliberately restrained her divine body, suppressing her original height of over seven meters.

Down to about 1.7 meters, appearing hardly different from a human beauty.

"How did she find me so quickly?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Xu Jingming's eyes.

He guessed Iris might have been sent by Teacher Nether Phoenix to test him.

But he did not expect her to arrive so quickly.

He had just returned to the virtual universe and finished selecting his techniques—only a moment had passed.

"In that case, I can only take things one step at a time."

Xu Jingming's mind stirred, and he exited the virtual universe.

Whoosh—

The villa gates opened automatically under the influence of his divine sense.

He rose and walked outside, simultaneously calculating countermeasures at lightning speed.

However, he had not yet had time to think of what to say.

Iris's slender, alluring figure had already strode in on her own!

Xu Jingming froze for a moment, then reacted, and said pensively:

"I don't know what business this demon has come to find me for?"

He spoke as if he did not know Iris.

However, the next instant, a sudden change occurred!

Only to see Iris's beautiful eyes staring straight at him.

In that gaze, first came a moment of stunned silence.

Then disbelief, and finally, it transformed into uncontainable excitement!

"Blood Abyss! It really is you!"

Iris cried out in delight, her purple eyes instantly filling with tears.

The next instant, she directly transformed into a fragrant breeze and fiercely flung herself into Xu Jingming's embrace!

Two jade arms tightly encircled his waist, her proud chest pressing fully against him without reservation.

The soft, astonishing sensation from her voluptuous body instantly caught Xu Jingming off guard.

No, how did you just recognize me?
