Chapter 2005
Above the vast, dark red land of Bloodforged Star.
A dark golden bolt of lightning tore through the sky with an almost tyrannical force.
Wherever it passed, the clouds dispersed, the air currents whistled, and it left behind dazzling lightning streaks that lingered for a long time.
Xu Jingming stood on the void.
With each flap of the Heavenly Thunder Wings behind him, formed from pure annihilation divine lightning, an astonishing propulsive force was unleashed.
This allowed him to rush forward at a terrifying speed far exceeding that of ordinary peak-level cultivators.
The howling wind turned into a continuous roar in my ears.
The rolling hills, deep canyons, and dense primeval forests that resembled a green ocean all rushed past at a dazzling speed.
Ten days have passed since the start of the demon-hunting competition.
During this period, he had advanced nearly two thousand kilometers to the southeast.
This distance, if it were on Earth...
It was already a very long journey, enough to cross several provinces.
But for Blood Refining Star, which is more than a thousand times the size of Blue Star.
This distance is negligible, not even a slightly larger 'spot' on its massive body.
In those ten days, Xu Jingming himself couldn't remember exactly how many monster hordes he had slaughtered.
How many Star-level ferocious beasts were killed?
All he knew was that he was advancing southeast, killing his way through.
Of course, in return, he obtained an extremely large source point.
[Source Points]: 4128.3 million!
"More than 41 million source points, which means you can get an average of 4 million source points every day!"
This efficiency is even higher than back in the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Realm!
Xu Jingming's eyes sparkled.
This is all thanks to Senior Sister Ye Li.
If it weren't for the T2-level flight technique "Thunder Wings" she gave him, he would never have been able to travel so recklessly.
"That's the advantage of having a master or sect."
A smile appeared on Xu Jingming's lips.
Of course, this is also related to Senior Sister Ye Li's cold exterior but warm heart.
"My strength is currently weak. I will repay Senior Sister Ye Li after I reach the Eternal Life stage."
He thought to himself.
"With the support of the Thunder Wings, we should be able to maintain this efficiency in harvesting source points."
Based on this efficiency, over a year of the Demon Hunting Competition, I could obtain at least...
Xu Jingming quickly made a mental estimate.
Four million source points a day, 365 days a year, that's 1.46 billion.
However, this is only the most conservative estimate, based on the assumption that current efficiency remains unchanged and without considering any unexpected events or efficiency improvements through simple multiplication.
"I am only at the sixth level of the Star Realm now, and I dare not easily touch many powerful monster tribes."
The primary targets are low- to mid-level stars, with higher-level stars as secondary targets.
But with the accumulation of source points, I can immediately increase my strength!
A year from now, I will have more than 14 billion Source Points!
At least 18 billion, or even more!
Xu Jingming took a deep breath to suppress his excitement.
With so many source points, his strength could be pushed to an unimaginable height.
"By then, to what extent will my strength have improved?"
The pinnacle of the stars? Or... perhaps, touching the threshold of the cosmic realm?
He cannot predict accurately.
But one thing is certain: it was far beyond what we have now.
This is enough to make him stir up a storm in this demon-hunting competition, and even challenge for the highest reward!
Blood Refined Badge! Secret Treasure!
Images of these rewards flashed through his mind, but he quickly calmed down.
"Don't get too arrogant. After all, he is a top genius from one of the three major human races in the universe."
Everyone has hidden cards; we'll consider these things after we truly break through to the peak of the Star Realm.
Xu Jingming's emotions gradually calmed down.
This is his greatest strength: he will never be blinded by the huge profits that are about to come.
Swah——
Suddenly, Xu Jingming, who was flying at high speed, stopped abruptly and hovered in mid-air as if he had braked suddenly.
His mental power was never restrained; he was always in a state of perception.
Just now, we detected unusual fluctuations in the area ahead.
It wasn't the ferocious aura of a demonic beast, but rather a mental reaction unique to human cultivators.
"I've encountered other contestants." Xu Jingming immediately composed himself.
Using his mental perception like invisible tentacles, he extended and explored the area ahead with greater precision.
Soon, a clear picture came to mind.
There are about a dozen teams distributed in a fan-shaped area about 20 to 30 kilometers ahead.
The number of people in each team is quite fixed, always five people per team.
On the left side of their battle suits, there was a black short sword emblem wrapped with a blood-red chain.
"They are all from the God-Slaying Martial Hall."
Moreover, they encountered more than ten teams at once, indicating they had chosen a team-based strategy.
Xu Jingming frowned.
These troops from the Godslayer Martial Hall almost completely blocked his advance in several major directions.
If they followed the original route, they would almost certainly be discovered by the people of the God-Slaying Martial Hall.
"I can't sense the strength of these teams through my mental power."
If I'm lucky, they might all be weaker than me, so I can just eliminate them directly.
If you're unlucky and encounter a top expert from the Godslayer Martial Hall, then you'll be in trouble...
Xu Jingming pondered in his heart.
Compared to his physical strength, his mental strength is actually not very strong.
The distance was too great; they could only vaguely sense the teams ahead and had no way to accurately determine their aura levels.
"If you don't want to gamble, then you can only abandon this direction and return the way you came."
But I have already traveled more than two thousand kilometers in this direction.
I killed almost all the monsters I encountered along the way.
If I turn back, I will be able to kill very few monsters along the way.
Under the powerful gravity of Blood Refining Star.
Even if I activate my Thunder Wings the whole time, it will still take me at least half a day to get to an area rich in monsters.
In this half-day, my source points and merits barely increased; it was a complete waste.
For Xu Jingming, such waste was naturally unacceptable.
"Let's try using the clone first. If the God-Slaying Martial Hall really has a powerful opponent that they can't deal with, then we'll change our strategy."
Xu Jingming had a sudden thought.
Purple demonic energy surged, and a demonic clone with the same size and appearance immediately appeared beside him.
After reaching the sixth level of the Star Realm, the duration of the demonic energy clone increases significantly, lasting for up to three hours without dissipating.
It's perfect for scouting.
Swah——
Xu Jingming maneuvered his clone forward, while his main body descended towards the ground.
The demonic clones were incredibly fast, finding the nearest team in just a few minutes.
The four of them were besieging a spirit-blood level, star-level seventh-rank demon beast.
"Three fourth-level Star Realm cultivators and one third-level Star Realm cultivator dared to surround and kill a seventh-level Star Realm demon beast."
This team from the God-Slaying Martial Hall is indeed extraordinary.
Xu Jingming, who shared the vision and perception of the demonic energy clone, exclaimed in admiration, and then controlled the demonic energy clone to fly towards the team.
