Chapter 575: I Am My Own God! Lei Shen Jiang Shi!

On the arena stage, Xu Jingming stood tall and upright.

A powerful updraft blew the wild long hair he had grown upon entering the Lei Lei Bao Tai behind him in a chaotic dance.

His lightning-element exclusive weapon, the Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan, had already been drawn.

It slowly rotated behind his beast-like figure, radiating a brilliant golden light.

A powerful and violent aura stimulated the nerves of every spectator present.

That towering, even somewhat terrifying figure gave people an immense sense of oppression!

If before, Xu Jingming in the Thunder Extreme Form had given the impression of an emperor commanding the thunder.

Then now, Xu Jingming in the Lei Lei Bao Tai was like a demon god, brimming with the intent to slaughter!

Even the sacred thunder lingering around him grew increasingly violent.

"Lei Lei Bao Tai! Lei Di actually still has a hidden card?"

"Too terrifying. Is Lei Di really only 20 this year? How is he not the slightest bit inferior to the 25-year-old Catherine?"

"No matter what, Lei Di can at least put up a fight now!"

"......"

After the shock wore off, the Great Xia spectators who came back to their senses revealed wild joy on their faces!

The cheers and shouts belonging to Xu Jingming rose once again!

"Lei Di! The strongest!"

"Lei Di! The strongest!"

"......"

While the spectators cheered, the many Great Xia powerhouses in the VIP hall were also somewhat surprised.

They hadn't expected that this championship final would truly bring a turning point!

"Lei Lei Bao Tai. So you actually still had a hidden card like this."

Su Qingli's beautiful eyes shimmered with an extraordinary light.

She knew Xu Jingming had self-created the SS-rank Divine Thunder Immortal Body, but she hadn't expected it would actually have two form transformations.

"His aura has actually reached a level on par with Catherine's. Truly astonishing."

On Hearing Ling Shuang's pretty face, adorned with a tear mole, was the same look of disbelief.

One had to remember, Xu Jingming was an entire minor stage lower than Catherine!

In other words, looking solely at body-tempering arts and spirit-refining arts.

Xu Jingming's depth of cultivation was actually even higher than Catherine's!

Besides, she hadn't forgotten that Xu Jingming also possessed an SSS-rank combat technique, "Lei Shen Jiang Shi," that he hadn't used yet.

In this championship final, who loses and who wins is truly not certain!

"Hm?"

On the arena stage,

gazing at the towering figure bathed in thunder on the opposite side.

The twelve-winged angel Catherine, floating in midair, revealed a look of surprise, a hint of unexpectedness in her ethereal voice:

"So the strongest in Great Xia isn't Su Yu, but you."

But the next instant, that surprise swiftly transformed into delight:

"Very good. The stronger you are, the more value you have in entering the Holy Court.

Come, return to my Lord's embrace! Holy Light Shines Upon All!"

Her slender right hand raised the holy longsword high, as scorching and dazzling holy light bloomed from it.

Forming a visible shockwave, it surged outward!

Boom!!

Holy light and thunder collided at the center of the arena.

The terrifying energy surge unleashed even distorted and deformed the air.

"Bullshit Holy Court!

The so-called god you worship is nothing but an illusion!

I only believe in myself! I am my own god!"

With a fierce roar, Xu Jingming, now over three meters tall, suddenly brought his two giant hands together in a clap:

"Lei Shen Jiang Shi!!"

Boom!!!

A massive illusory golden thunder half-body figure condensed above his head.

This figure's specific features couldn't be seen clearly, only that the facial contours bore some resemblance to Xu Jingming.

A pair of eyes filled with resplendent golden thunder, possessing endless sacred majesty like a thunder god!!

Whoosh—

The terrifying pressure surged outward, and the many spectators in the stadium all turned pale.

And beneath this pressure, Catherine felt herself as weak as an ant.

"Lei Mao!!"

"Thunderball Art!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!......

The Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan behind him spun frantically.

Over a dozen Lei Long spears condensed out of thin air, imbued with terrifying energy fluctuations.

A massive liquid thunder sphere instantly condensed into several!

Accompanied by the sharp whistling produced by the sonic boom, these spell attacks

transformed into streaks of flowing light, raining down on Katherine like a meteor shower!

"Over ten Lei Mao in one breath, plus several thunder spheres?! What kind of casting speed is this!"

"Too terrifying. So this is Lei Di's full-strength power?"

"Ridiculous. This is on an entirely different level from anyone else!"

"......"

Over a hundred million viewers were completely stunned.

They had originally thought this match would be won by Katherine without any suspense.

But as Xu Jingming revealed his hidden cards one after another,

they were shocked to discover that Xu Jingming actually possessed such terrifying power, even matching Katherine blow for blow.

"This......"

In the audience seats, Andrey from Bear Nation swallowed hard.

If Xu Jingming had used this combat technique when fighting him,

he wouldn't need a minute—just ten seconds—and he could probably have been killed, right?

"Lei Shen?! No, this is merely spiritual pressure! Holy Light Domain!"

Facing Xu Jingming, whose aura surged once more under Lei Shen Jiang Shi,

Katherine let out a sharp cry, and the twelve wings behind her fluttered slightly.

Sacred golden light burst forth from her body, drawing a ring with a hundred-meter radius centered on her.

Within the ring, holy light swirled, and Lei Ting could not invade!

Boom boom boom!!

The Lei Mao and thunder spheres blooming with terrifying power hadn't even gotten close to Katherine before they exploded violently at the ring!

"Holy Light Domain......" Xu Jingming's face showed a contemplative look.

This was the SSS-rank combat technique Katherine had mastered. Within the Holy Light Domain, no other element could invade!

In other words, his long-range lightning bombardment was completely useless!

Of course,

this nullification also had a limit—beyond a certain threshold, it would fail.

Thinking of this, the Extreme Brilliance Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan behind Xu Jingming began rotating once more: "Thunder Dragon Art!!"

Originally, Thunder Dragon Art required over three seconds of casting wind-up, but under the effect of Lei Shen Jiang Shi, it was shortened directly to one second!

"Roar—"

A roar rang out, and a terrifying thunder dragon condensed in the sky, bombarding toward Katherine.

While Xu Jingming was casting, she wasn't idle either.

She had already flown from two kilometers away to a position only about a thousand meters from Xu Jingming!

If the casting time of Thunder Dragon Art were any longer, Katherine's holy longsword would probably have already slashed across Xu Jingming's neck!

"Holy Light Slash!"

Whoosh—

A bright golden sword light flashed. The thunder dragon wasn't destroyed, but its aura dimmed considerably.

When it struck Katherine's Holy Light Domain, it still didn't stir up any ripples.

"An SS+ rank Thunder Dragon Art can't necessarily break through Katherine's Holy Light Domain.

Not to mention Katherine will also act to weaken my spell-type combat techniques. Relying solely on long-range combat techniques, there's no way to defeat her.

Since that's the case......"

Xu Jingming took a deep breath, decisively chose to adjust his strategy. His massive right hand reached out and gripped the void fiercely:

"Obsidian Spear!!"

Whoosh—

A thick black spear, three and a half meters long with a shaft diameter of ten centimeters, suddenly flickered into existence.

The Genius Tournament did not limit the number of weapons a contestant could use.

Considering that Lei Lei Bao Tai would inflate his body to a terrifying size, his original two-meter-one Flowing Cloud Golden Edge Spear was no longer suitable.

So he had shaped this enlarged S-rank spear according to the original Obsidian Spear's specifications.

"Thunder Dragon Wings!"

The Thunder Dragon Wings unfurled behind him, different from their original energy form.

In Lei Lei Bao Tai, the Thunder Dragon Wings leaned more toward the actual wings of a dragon-type fierce beast, with not only flesh membranes but also bone spurs.

The emergence of the Thunder Dragon Wings made Xu Jingming's already ferocious appearance even more monstrous.

"Come on! Let's see whose close-quarters slaughter is stronger!"

His wings flapped, and Xu Jingming, gripping his spear, shot into the sky and flew toward Katherine.

When he was only five meters from Katherine, the spear wrapped in golden Lei Guang in his hand swept out with thunderous force.

Because the speed was too fast, it even produced a terrifying whistling sound.

Beside the thick three-and-a-half-meter Obsidian Spear, the twelve-winged angel Katherine looked as petite as a kitten.

But when her holy longsword slashed out, it still blocked this sweeping spear strike!
