Chapter 820

Boom—

Dark clouds churned in the sky, black lightning slithering through them like tiny snakes.

An extremely powerful aura brewed within, as if about to erupt at any moment!

Xu Jingming had originally intended to rush forward and impale Galka with his spear, but seeing this, he grew curious.

"Come to think of it, aside from Teacher Su, I've never fought a lightning-type ability user of this level before."

Xu Jingming's clear eyes held a faint burning battle intent, "I wonder—whose Doushen Shenlei is stronger, mine or his?"

The next instant,

Brilliant golden lightning surged violently from his body, roaring upward into the stormy clouds!

Xu Jingming's action stunned Galka for a moment, then he reacted.

The opponent was trying to use Doushen Shenlei to interrupt his technique's release!!

"Naive!"

Galka's face brimmed with contempt, "You think an SS-class ability is invincible?

Impossible! Don't forget—you're a full major rank below me!

That's a chasm you can never cross!"

Worried Xu Jingming wouldn't understand, Galka sneered in Daxia language.

The dull voice mixed with thunder, as if tearing the air apart!

"Is this really the number one prodigy of Blue Planet? I overestimated you—you're actually..."

Galka's dark face wore a wild, arrogant grin—but the next instant, his voice cut off abruptly.

Because before him, Xu Jingming's aura, suspended midair, suddenly surged!

His body swelled as well, in an instant rising from 1.9 meters to three meters tall!

At the same time, a crimson blood aura encircled Xu Jingming's body.

The once brilliant golden lightning now took on a tinge of crimson, turning into crimson-gold!

And the aura radiating outward made even Galka's heart jolt—he felt overwhelming danger!

"Divine Blood Secret Art? Are you from the Tianming Sect?" Galka was stunned.

But upon closer sensing, he realized Xu Jingming's aura wasn't chaotic like a Tianming Sect Divine Blood Emissary's—it was incredibly refined.

As he stared in shock, Xu Jingming extended a right hand like a dragon's claw toward the sky and gently clenched it.

Boom—!

Brilliant golden lightning instantly condensed in the sky, exploding with the brilliance of noon sunlight!

At that moment, the brewing dark clouds and black lightning scattered like they'd met their mortal enemy!

Thud!

Galka let out a muffled groan, his spiritual force suddenly chaotic, causing the black ring behind him to slow its rotation.

This was spiritual force backlash from forcibly interrupting a technique's release.

But compared to spiritual force backlash, Xu Jingming's action shocked him even more.

To interrupt his SSS-class technique with pure ability alone—what terrifying suppression was this?

You know,

He was an eighth-rank peak elemental master; even another eighth-rank peak elemental master could only interrupt technique release with some probability.

Never as calmly as Xu Jingming!

But when he sensed the sacred aura radiating from the brilliant golden Lei Hai in the sky, he immediately understood.

This was an ability gap!

This was absolute suppression of an SS-class ability over an A-class ability at equal spiritual force strength!

So the question arose—Xu Jingming was only seventh-rank upper tier; how could his spiritual force be this terrifying?

"Even if you practice an SS-class spirit refinement art, it's impossible to be this strong! What kind of monster are you?!"

Gazing at the powerful figure hundreds of meters away, bathed in lightning like a human tyrannosaur,

Galka abandoned his earlier arrogance, revealing unprecedented panic.

Because he realized—the situation had slipped beyond his expectations.

At that moment, a divine voice rang out ahead:

"You should feel honored—you are the first ability user to witness me in this form.

Your death will thus gain meaning! Lei Shen Zhi!"

Xu Jingming pointed his right hand at Galka from afar—the sky unleashed a colossal golden lightning finger, crashing toward him!!

"No!!"

Galka pushed his black lightning to its limit, forming a terrifying thunderstorm zone around him!

The ring behind him spun wildly, layers of lightning barriers piling onto his body.

But before the Lei Shen Zhi, they were utterly useless!

The entire golden finger shattered every black lightning strand like rotten straw.

Amid Galka's screams, golden lightning like a nuclear blast swallowed him whole!

Boom!!

A golden lightning mushroom cloud rose from the ground!!

When the lightning faded, the ground now bore a crater hundreds of meters in diameter!

At the crater's center, Galka had become a charred corpse.

"An S+ class Lei Shen Zhi can obliterate an A-class eighth-rank peak—my power after breaking into seventh-rank upper tier is even stronger than I imagined."

Xu Jingming revealed a smile.

Jialka was the strongest opponent he had encountered since entering the Yell Secret Realm.

Before this, he hadn't even had the chance to use his Lightning Violent form — just Lightning Extreme form was more than enough to handle things.

"Looks like the even more powerful SSS-grade combat techniques 'Heavenly Lei Divine Punishment Sword' and 'Thunderbolt Star Spear' will have to be saved for those two S-rank, eighth-tier upper-level ones."

Xu Jingming revealed a smile.

He fired off three or four more Heavenly Lei Arts in succession, only descending after confirming Jialka was truly dead.

"So this is the second ring of Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan?"

Xu Jingming pulled out the ring that had been pinned beneath Jialka's corpse.

Even without the augmentation of Jialka's black lightning, the ring still displayed a pitch-black color.

This was the Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan's original color — Xu Jingming's own was the same.

"S-rank — this is Lei Shen's Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan, and it should be the third ring out of the five."

At this point Yiwa had finished scanning, confirmed the ring's authenticity, and clicked her tongue in wonder:

"Who knows where this black fellow dug it up from.

Back in our Second Civilization era, we only found one."

The First Civilization era had likewise left behind some ruins, only hidden far more deeply.

Even the technologically advanced Second Civilization era failed to explore them all completely.

"Finding a second one out of the five Extreme Glory Lei Rings counts as a good start."

Xu Jingming smiled, then said with some puzzlement:

"How are these two Extreme Glory Lei Rings to be used — do I need to go back and find a weapon grandmaster to reforge them together?"

"This is a perfect-grade weapon — do you know what perfect means? It means flawless in every respect!

The metal used in the Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan is extremely special; your Doushen Shenlei alone can make them fuse back together."

Yiwa said with a giggle.

"That convenient?"

Xu Jingming was somewhat surprised.

Still, he took the Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan from his back and overlapped the two rings together.

A resplendent golden light flared up as the golden Doushen Shenlei enveloped both rings.

Immediately afterward, something miraculous happened.

The rings hungrily absorbed the lightning; after roughly three minutes, the two rings had actually merged into one!
