Chapter 390: Lei Shen Jiang Shi! Output Maxed Out!

"Did I hear that right? A fifth-rank lower-tier wants to fight a sixth-rank lower-tier royal beast?"

"Am I crazy, or is he crazy?"

As Xu Jingming spoke, the entire 12th Squad of the Black Dragon Corps stared at him as if he were an idiot.

Even Captain Wu Shuo was momentarily stunned; he opened his mouth to say something, but only sighed and shook his head helplessly:

"Since Brother Xu is so confident in his own strength…"

"Then we won't bother you. Good luck—we're leaving."

Saying this, he led the other squad members away swiftly, not looking back.

He looked every bit the noble, tall, and handsome type, yet turned out to be someone who couldn't tell reality from fantasy.

For a person like this, no amount of advice would ever help.

Soon, only Xu Jingming and the Green Fang Feral Lion remained around the fruit tree.

Sixth-rank beasts possess intelligence comparable to adults, let alone this royal beast!

Seeing Wu Shuo's group depart—the greater threat—the Green Fang Feral Lion grew more casual.

Its eyes looked down upon Xu Jingming as if, without the Yuan Ling Fruit Tree, it would swallow him whole.

"Beasts are beasts—they can't even tell who's the real threat."

Xu Jingming's clear, black-and-white eyes held calm composure; his right hand gripped the air, and the Radiant Thunder Staff materialized.

"Roar!!"

Though the Green Fang Feral Lion didn't understand Xia language, it sensed the condescension in Xu Jingming's tone.

Instantly, its massive beast-face twisted with fury—but still, it did not leave its spot.

Instead, it roared, using its earth-element control to summon:

Dozens of basketball-sized stones, shooting toward Xu Jingming!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!...

The stones rained down thickly, clustering together with overwhelming pressure.

Unlike weak arrow volleys,

each stone carried power stronger than any modern rifle bullet!

This single technique alone could flatten a mountain peak!

"Thunder Extreme State!"

"Thunder Barrier!"

Facing this terrifying stone barrage, Xu Jingming dared not underestimate it.

Entering Thunder Extreme State, he condensed a thick Thunder Barrier around his body!

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The dense stones, like machine-gun bullets, completely covered the fifty-meter radius around Xu Jingming.

The ground erupted into massive craters; dust flew, trees shattered.

Yet Xu Jingming, shielded by the Thunder Barrier, remained unharmed!

"Thunder Extreme State plus the Radiant Thunder Staff's dual amplification—my Thunder Barrier has astonishing defense!"

In Xu Jingming's brilliant, dragon-like vertical pupils, a hint of satisfaction glowed.

Once activated, the Thunder Barrier could dissolve the elemental damage of nearly all sixth-rank adepts.

Even this royal beast was no exception.

"Judging by your stance, you're unwilling to stray far from the Yuan Ling Fruit."

"Then stay there forever! Lei Shen Jiang Shi!"

Against a sixth-rank royal beast, Xu Jingming, a full rank below, held nothing back.

He immediately activated his newly ranked SSS-tier combat technique, "Lei Shen Jiang Shi," to test its power.

At this moment,

his SS-tier lightning ability, Doushen Shenlei, and vast spiritual energy flowed according to the technique's requirements.

Boom—rumble~~

Powerful golden lightning erupted from his body, forming, in the air behind him, a faint, colossal phantom figure of thunder!

Its features were indistinct, save for two brilliant golden eyes, wreathed in lightning, radiating an aura of supreme dominion!

"Roar—"

"Aowu—"

This figure, like a god, appeared—and immediately unleashed overwhelming pressure.

Within a ten-kilometer radius, every beast sensed this presence and let out terrified, worshipful roars.

The sixth-rank royal beast, the Green Fang Feral Lion, showed unmistakably human-like shock and hesitation.

Yet, glancing at the Yuan Ling Fruit still absorbing spiritual energy beside it, it refused to retreat.

"This is the SSS-tier combat technique—Lei Shen Jiang Shi!" Xu Jingming secretly rejoiced.

He felt his SS-tier ability, Doushen Shenlei, and his spiritual energy boiling at this moment!

It seemed any technique he used now would gain massive amplification and reduced cooldown!

"Let's test its effect first! Lei Mao!"

Xu Jingming's gaze sharpened; through the Radiant Thunder Staff, he unleashed the A-tier technique, Lei Mao!

Yet unlike before, when he could summon only one,

in this instant, seven Lei Mao spears materialized in mere moments!

Seven liquid Lei Mao spears, radiating terrifying energy, circled around Xu Jingming.

«!!! »

Xu Jingming's pupils dilated; the effect of Lei Shen Jiang Shi seemed excessively powerful.

The efficiency of releasing the battle technique was seven times faster than before!

«Good! Good! Good! No wonder it's the legacy of the Supreme Strongest—I'm very satisfied! »

Amidst loud laughter, the seven thick Lei Mao shot toward the Qingya Kuangshi like lightning.

Unlike the previous stone arrow rain, the Lei Mao were far fewer in number, yet their might was vastly greater, and their speed much faster!

Puchī~~

Puchī~~

Despite the Qingya Kuangshi's desperate dodging, three Lei Mao still struck its right hind knee, lower calf, and left front leg.

Blood sprayed everywhere, instantly staining the surrounding ground bright red.

For a normal sixth-rank beast, these three Lei Mao would have been fatal.

But this was a King-rank beast!

Under the suppression of its vital energy, it forcibly restrained the Lei Mao from exploding!

Yet even so, the Qingya Kuangshi still suffered considerable damage, and its movement speed plummeted!

«Roar! »

An injured beast is far more vicious than an ordinary one—this principle applied equally to beasts.

In pain, the Qingya Kuangshi immediately went berserk.

Stone arrow rain and massive arms formed from earth elements slammed toward Xu Jingming.

These attacks were either blocked by the Thunder Barrier or easily dodged.

Xu Jingming suffered not a single scratch, but the ground around him was devastated.

It looked as if bombed by missiles—craters dotted everywhere, and the earth had even sunk several centimeters!

«Having lost its escape methods and possessing only limited offensive capabilities, even a King-rank beast is merely a lamb awaiting slaughter. »

With the phantom shadow of Lei Shen hovering above his head, Xu Jingming gazed at the Qingya Kuangshi with cold, brilliant golden dragon eyes, and within his Yao Lei Zhang, terrifying lightning began to coalesce again:

«Die. »

Pili-pala——

Thunder roared deafeningly—Thunderball Technique, Lightning Chain, and even Heavenly Thunder Technique.

All of them struck the Qingya Kuangshi as if they had no casting delay or cooldown.

At this moment, Xu Jingming was a furious spell artillery platform, output pushed to maximum!
