"What was that?!"
"Such terrifying lightning! This is bad!"
"This lightning is strange!"
"..."
Startled cries rang out from the buildings below, but it was already too late.
Wherever the golden lightning passed, reinforced concrete skyscrapers were effortlessly torn apart as if they were made of paper.
Fireballs, wind blades, and other attacks launched at Xu Jingming were annihilated into nothingness before they could even reach him.
The T6 Level Haotian Divine Lightning fused with the Lightning Law was no joke.
Every bolt of golden lightning contained devastating power, enough to easily pierce the defenses of a Starlight Realm Ninth Order cultivator.
"Ah—"
"No!"
"It can't be defended against! There's no way to defend against it!"
"..."
An area spanning more than ten kilometers in every direction turned into a dazzling sea of golden lightning.
Miserable screams rose and fell within the ocean of lightning, only to swiftly fall silent.
The contestants hidden within the buildings—
Some raised Energy Shields, some tried to evade with movement techniques, while others chose to withstand it head-on.
Yet without exception, all of them were obliterated within the golden lightning.
Ten seconds later, the lightning gradually subsided.
Xu Jingming floated in midair, his black battle suit fluttering gently in the breeze.
There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation on his cold, stern face.
Whoosh—
Mental Strength surged outward as he conducted a rough scan.
Within a ten-kilometer radius, there was no longer any trace of life in the entire city.
"Too weak."
Xu Jingming shook his head slightly. "Once the Haotian Divine Lightning spreads across a ten-kilometer radius, its power is greatly diluted.
"They couldn't even withstand lightning of this level, yet they dared to participate in the Genius Battle?"
He lowered his head to look at the Points panel on his Smart Armguard.
