Chapter 871: Astonishing Ability Points! Jianchi Hu Huang!

Dayangzhou, southeastern region.

With the aid of Lei Long Yi, Xu Jingming arrived here in just ten hours.

"Roar—"

"Howl—"

In this sparsely inhabited jungle, the roars of ferocious beasts never ceased.

If a common human were here, just these roars alone would be enough to shatter and kill them.

"S-class, how do you plan to lure out that Jianchi Hu Huang?"

Floating thirteen meters above ground, Xu Jingming hid among the dense tree branches, his black Lei Long Yi swirling with thunder, suspending him in midair.

At the same time, Eva's curious voice echoed in his mind.

"Simple—kill all the ferocious beasts in this area, and it will come out naturally."

Xu Jingming grinned.

Crackling—

Black chaotic Doushen Shenlei erupted; he entered a thunder state over three meters tall.

Behind him, the brilliant Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan rotated slowly, black lightning arcs spattering out, radiating an astonishing aura of danger.

"Come on—let me see how vast the range of Wan Leitian's Lei Tianlao Yin truly is!"

With a thought, his mental force began guiding the thunder along a specific trajectory.

Boom—boom—boom—

Dull thunder rumbled; the once-blue sky instantly darkened with storm clouds, countless black lightning bolts flickering and leaping like spectral serpents through the clouds.

Just three or four seconds later, Xu Jingming's gaze sharpened—the thunder, fully charged, exploded from the sky!

BOOM!!!!

A vast black "Lei Hai" poured down from the heavens, turning the entire world into an ocean of lightning!

Thick bolts of thunder crashed down, thunder roaring, plasma spraying everywhere.

Everywhere his eyes could see, lightning mixed with fire, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Is this power… a bit too exaggerated?"

Eva's holographic projection emerged from her smart bracer, staring blankly at the scene.

The power of this combat technique far exceeded her expectations; within her mental force range, not a single ferocious beast could survive this terrifying thunderstorm.

Even her mental force felt a piercing pain, as if being struck directly by the lightning!

"Ding~~~, slain one fourth-rank mid-tier Shadow Cat, Ability Points +232."

"Ding~~~, slain one fourth-rank low-tier Bloodthirsty Rampage Bear, Ability Points +221."

"Ding~~, slain one sixth-rank low-tier Forest Wind Wolf, Ability Points +712!"

"……"

System notifications flooded Xu Jingming's mind like a waterfall; his system panel's Ability Points surged accordingly.

30,000… 50,000… 70,000……

In less than a minute, his system panel's Ability Points had increased by a full 100,000 points!

"Such immense power! Such a vast range!" Xu Jingming's eyes blazed with light.

In his mental force perception, the range of Wan Leitian's Lei Tianlao Yin had exceeded fifteen kilometers!

That meant one cast of Wan Leitian's Lei Tianlao Yin could strike an area of 175 square kilometers!

This was undoubtedly an enormous area.

"175 square kilometers—that's about the size of a small county town…"

Xu Jingming once again felt the terror of a high-rank Ability User.

To a common human, before they could even see a high-rank Ability User, they'd already been obliterated.

More importantly—the Ability Points!

"Shenlan."

After the lightning fully receded, Xu Jingming silently murmured; a pale blue virtual panel appeared in his mind.

【Ability Points】: 342,000

Compared to before entering the wilderness, this SSS-class combat technique had granted him 120,000 Ability Points!

"Indeed, after my Ability evolved into SSS-class, the efficiency of gaining Ability Points has increased dramatically."

A smile appeared on Xu Jingming's resolute face.

He had a feeling that, in Dayangzhou's wilderness, the Ability Points he gained would far surpass his expectations.

"Who dares slaughter my kind?!"

Suddenly, a violently furious roar echoed from afar; its terrifying, powerful mental force surged like a gale, as if ready to shatter the air itself!

But Xu Jingming's eyes lit up.

Here it comes—the Beast King!

Indeed, far in the distance, trees fell in vast swathes, the ground trembled, as if some colossal creature was rapidly approaching.

"Xin Wang!"

Whoosh—

His mental force pushed to its limit; every object within a four-kilometer radius appeared clearly in his perception.

Soon, the ninth-rank Jianchi Hu Huang also appeared in his senses.

It was a ferocious beast resembling a tiger, but its size was enormous.

Standing six meters tall, its body length nearly ten meters!!

His entire body was wreathed in searing flames, his eyes a blood-red so deep they resembled red lanterns.

As if sensing Xu Jingming's spiritual force, it let out another roar.

That roar made his spiritual force ache slightly.

"No wonder it's a Beast Emperor-level ferocious beast—truly formidable!"

Xu Jingming no longer hesitated; the black chaotic divine thunder swirling around his body surged like a tidal wave:

"Heavenly Thunder Art!!"

Zitla! Zitla!......

One after another, thunderbolts as thick as a water barrel fell from the sky, relentlessly striking the Fangtooth Tiger Emperor.

But this wasn't over!

Roar—

A dragon's roar echoed as a black thunder dragon, over two hundred meters long and radiating icy energy, materialized out of thin air!

Thunder Dragon Art!!

A Class SS+ lightning technique—the massive thunder dragon instantly swallowed the Fangtooth Tiger Emperor!!

"Roar!!"

A terrifying roar erupted; the flames on the Fangtooth Tiger Emperor's body surged violently, shattering the thunder dragon outright!

"A Beast Emperor that controls elemental forces is indeed hard to deal with—easily dispelling a Class SS technique."

Xu Jingming frowned.

After exhaling softly, he immediately unleashed his full power.

Lei Shen Jiang Shi! Thunder Domain!

After the dual amplification, his power surged violently!

Lei Shen Zhi, Lightning Chain, Thunder Ball Art......

Behind him, the Brilliant Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan spun wildly as powerful techniques slammed into the Fangtooth Tiger Emperor.

Half the thunder was blocked by its flames; the other half inflicted considerable damage.

Yet it healed instantly, as if the injuries never existed!

"Is this the formidable vitality unique to ninth-rank beings? Truly terrifying."

Xu Jingming silently marveled inwardly.

If it had been the Tianming Sect's Heavenly Mandate Divine Envoy, he would have died countless times over by now...

PS: I've been locked in the black room—I don't know if it's due to a report or tighter review.

I originally planned to revise the entire novel only before finishing, but now I have to do it early.

Most of the earlier passages, including all chapters involving Hearing Ling Shuang, have already been revised, and most images have been removed; I'll apply for re-review after this update, but I don't know when I'll get out of the black room...
