It looks like you've mixed the titles of two Mahavishnu's albums:
The Inner Mounting Flame
and
Visions Of The Emerald Beyond
Other fusion masterpieces:
all Miles Davis' albums from the 70s:
Bitches Brew
Big Fun
Pangaea
Agharta
plus Aura from the 80s.

Miles, "Bitches Brew" and "Live Evil", maybe "Jack Johnson" too. Weather Report's "Mysterious Traveler". The best Return to Forever IMHO is "Hymn of the 7th Galaxy"...Bill Connors is a much ballsier guitarist than DiMeola, and Corea was wilder here as well, and didn't play synthesizer (not his specialty really).
Some other great fusion albums: Passport "Cross-Collateral" and "Looking Through", the Passport called "Doldinger Jubilee", which was live with Brian Auger, Phillip Catherine, Les McCann & Eddie Harris, totally smokin'!
the 1st 2 Arti & Mistieri albums ("Tilt" & "Giro di Valzer per Domani")

Nucleus - Elastic Rock Maneige - Ni Vent... Ni Nouvelle But sadly, I only have a couple of fusion albums at the moment. I plan on investing in some Return to Forever, more Mahavishnu Orcestra (Inner Mounting Flame is great), and more Maneige.

Stanley Clarke's "Schooldays". Not a weak track on the album.

Weather Report were too inconsistent to have an album I would consider a masterpiece, and I also find that Romantic Warrior is one of my least favorite RtF albums, go figure.

Wigwam's Being from 1973 can be considered as a masterpiece of this genre.

Birds of Fire is the one that sprang to my mind immediately. Amazing album.

Neil Ardley-Kaleidoscope of Rainbows
Nucleus-first two albums, moreso the second one
Chick Corea-Return to Forever
Those automatically spring to mind, although I'm sure there are more I can't think of at the moment.
