Jing Lei’s divine realm gate opened, and numerous Lightning Elementals emerged, a rare and powerful race. They were natural Unique life forms with elemental bodies, immune to most physical attacks. As Lightning Elementals matured, they sought a secondary form. Once found, they would gain a second racial trait and acquire some of the corresponding race’s abilities.

Through long experience in warfare and cultivating Lightning Elementals, Jing Lei had discovered that they evolved into their secondary forms more easily after killing the undead. Once a secondary form turned into an undead, its attribute shifted from ordinary lightning to Death Lightning, with a dramatic increase in power. In addition, non-undead targets killed by Death Lightning could be converted into undead and made to serve him.

For that reason, whenever Jing Lei encountered civilizations with large undead swarms during invasions, he grew stronger the longer the battle continued. This explained why every invasion he had undertaken had ended in an easy victory.

At the sight of a massive undead tide on the opposing side, Jing Lei was almost jubilant. To him, this wasn’t a battle but a reward. He could already envision his Lightning Elementals gaining their secondary forms in vast numbers after the battle. He only wondered what abilities those skeletons would grant them.

As the Lightning Elementals deployed, Han Wu spotted Jing Lei across the field. He closed the distance in a flash and launched an attack.

Jing Lei’s units were strong, and his reactions were sharper than Han Wu expected. The moment Han Wu threw his punch, Jing Lei evaded on pure instinct. At the same time, he commanded his units to form a battle formation.

Wild lightning gathered above the formation like an endless storm front. Jing Lei stood beneath it like a lightning rod. A bolt of black lightning struck him. Instead of harming him, it caused his aura to surge dramatically, and he broke through to the World rank.

Han Wu could tell that Jing Lei had used a secret technique that channeled intense lightning to unlock his physical potential and temporarily grant him World power. As the formation grew more elaborate, Han Wu could sense Jing Lei’s aura continuing to rise. He was curious about how much stronger his enemy could become.

With this temporary strength, Jing Lei no longer feared Han Wu’s ambush. He directed his unevolved Lightning Elementals to charge into the skeletons.

Lightning crackled in their wake. It was highly effective against both the undead and Soul Energy. Large sections of skeleton troops shattered under the assault.

After destroying the skeletons, the Lightning Elementals linked the bones together with arcs of electricity and controlled the remains to attack other members of the skeleton tide.

That creature is copying my tactics! Jing Jing watched, her eyes widening in offense. She was the Undead Queen and wouldn’t tolerate imitation.

With a flick of her fingers, the surface erupted in a crashing surge of bone. Countless fragments collided and ground against each other without pause. Every skeleton under the control of a Lightning Elemental was reduced to fragments.

Jing Lei had fought countless battles. Although the ferocity of Jing Jing’s counterattack surprised him, he remained composed.

In the next instant, the bone sea surged and formed a massive wave that swept toward Jing Lei and his formation.

Jing Lei grew cautious and directed his Lightning Elemental formation to counter with Death Lightning. The currents linked together and filled the area with black electricity. Any life form that couldn’t command lightning would die upon entering that zone, including skeletons. Their bones could resist the current, but their souls couldn’t escape the lightning’s power.

Just as the bone wave and the lightning were about to collide, Han Wu did something that Jing Lei couldn’t understand. He stepped forward into the lightning zone. Every bolt of Death Lightning in the area found a target at once and surged toward him.

Facing the overwhelming barrage, Han Wu smiled slightly as he activated Conversion and Energy Materialization simultaneously. He absorbed and converted the Death Lightning into elemental hands of various attributes, which extended toward Jing Lei.

The bone wave rose from below while 100 elemental hands descended from above.

Jing Lei used his World strength in an attempt to escape, but the elemental hands pursued him. The wind-attribute hands were the fastest and seized him first. The remaining hands followed and piled on, wrapping around him completely and forming an elemental cage. Jing Lei could only use the lightning power within him to resist the elements.

“I thought you were supposed to have full intelligence on me,” Han Wu remarked. “Apparently not.”

Jing Lei wished he were dead. A comprehensive intelligence report on Han Wu sat on his table, yet he had failed to read it properly. Now he was about to be crushed to death. If some higher power granted him another chance, he would tell the Butcher, who had approved his request to fight, to ignore him. Unfortunately for him, it was too late for regrets.

Jing Lei reached for the gift the Butcher had given him: the military seal.

The moment he activated it, the Lightning Elementals’ formation went into overdrive. Power poured into him, driving every ounce of his potential past its limit. Violent Death Lightning destroyed the elemental cage.

Jing Lei’s face had turned beet red, but he had never felt more powerful. He felt as though he had entered an entirely different state and felt invincible.

“Since Death Lightning can’t hurt you, I’ll just beat you to death with my fists!” he roared.

Jing Lei activated his second secret technique. He absorbed every trace of lightning, converted it into raw, explosive power, and threw a punch at Han Wu.

The punch looked slow, but it struck as fast as lightning. The force behind it was enough to send Han Wu flying.

Even with the Abyss Armor, Han Wu felt the impact on his chest. In the next instant, Undying repaired the damage.

Jing Lei charged again.

In his ordinary combat mode, Han Wu couldn’t withstand Jing Lei’s relentless barrage, so he made his decision.

“True Black Dragon King Transformation!” His aura surged like a tidal wave, with Han Wu as its center. Power surpassing that of a World life form spread in every direction.

Jing Lei felt it and knew with certainty that he was no match. While the three minutes had yet to pass, he turned to flee.

Han Wu gave him no such chance. A single dragon claw came down, striking Jing Lei directly and leaving him critically wounded.

Han Wu followed with a kick, crushing Jing Lei into paste. At his death, his Divine Aspects and Divine Jurisdiction scattered in all directions. His soul tried to flee, but Jing Jing had been waiting. She caught it and sealed it within Han Wu’s Divine Weapon, the Locust Soul Orb.

With Jing Lei eliminated, Han Wu cleared another stronghold for the Wisdom Faction’s victory.
