Chapter 908: Wind God! SSS-Level Netherworld Gale!

The Firebrand Temple has existed for 93 years, and only six core members have ever entered the ninth trial level.

You are the sixth, and also the youngest and fastest to clear it among these six.

When Xu Jingming entered the ninth trial level, a majestic voice echoed from the azure sky.

Then countless lights coalesced, forming the figure of a young man about one meter seventy tall:

"I am Lengguang, the top-tier artificial intelligence overseeing virtual trials. Core member Xu Jingming, welcome to the ninth trial.

I was created over two thousand years ago during the peak of Jin Nation's civilization.

Even among the countless geniuses I have witnessed, you are among the most exceptional."

Lengguang was enveloped in terrifying lethal energy, like an icy mountain.

"Is that Lengguang?"

Eva's voice, tinged with surprise, echoed in Xu Jingming's mind: "It once belonged to my mother's control.

I never expected it to survive until now—and it seems to be showing signs of evolving into an intelligent lifeform."

Xu Jingming said nothing in response, the Chaotic Divine Thunder subtly surging.

Whether it was an intelligent lifeform or not had nothing to do with him.

He only wanted to clear the ninth trial as quickly as possible and obtain the Aurora-Level authorization.

"For the ninth trial, your opponent will be an SSS-tier Ability Awakened!"

In my database, there are records of six SSS-tier experts.

"Based on your performance in the first eight trials, I judge you to be a powerhouse following the Elementalist path.

Next, I will use the template of the famed Jin Nation warrior, 'Wind God,' to fight you."

The Wind God possesses the SSS-tier elemental ability "Dark Prison Wind," and once slew three Beast Gods.

A single strike of Dark Prison Wind claimed millions of ferocious beasts' lives—he was a hero of the Jin Nation.

Defeat him, and you will obtain the Aurora-Level authorization!"

Swish—

In midair, Lengguang transformed into a young man clad in a blue battle suit.

The youth wore a wild, arrogant expression; countless black gales, as if emanating from the netherworld, swirled around him.

"Is that Wind God?"

Eva's voice, startled, echoed in his mind: "S-tier, be careful—he's a true legend.

During the Apocalypse Crisis, he single-handedly made even the ferocious beasts unable to stand against him.

Only the Magma Colossus managed to kill him in the end.

Watch out for his Dark Prison Wind—it inflicts special damage to spiritual energy!

"No need to worry. I will crush everything underfoot." Xu Jingming, towering over three meters tall and terrifying in physique, remained calm.

So far, the power he had displayed was even less than half of his true strength.

With a thought, the Radiant Thunder Ring appeared behind him.

Crackling—

Thunder roared as countless black lightning arcs flashed within the ring.

The fused Radiant Thunder Ring had surpassed the category of ordinary top-tier elemental weapons.

Its enhancement of lightning abilities had reached a terrifying 70%!

Simultaneously,

A colossal thunderous figure coalesced in midair, its eyes commanding the heavens with boundless aura!

Lei Shen's Descent allowed Xu Jingming to cast multiple spell-based combat techniques with drastically reduced cooldowns!

The Thunder Domain opened at this very moment.

The lightning swirling within a hundred-meter radius around Xu Jingming boiled like molten metal, radiating a terrifying aura.

"This is my full strength."

In Xu Jingming's eyes, wreathed in black lightning, an infinite sense of authority gathered.

When he fought Greene, he hadn't even needed to use Lei Shen's Descent to defeat him.

Now facing a former SSS-tier, he naturally owed him a measure of "respect."

"Lei Shen's Finger!"

With a thought, two black fingers, each hundreds of meters long, materialized in the sky—one to the left, one to the right.

With Lei Shen's Descent's enhancement, Xu Jingming could cast two S+-tier combat techniques simultaneously.

This was a crushing advantage over peers of the same rank.

But to this "Wind God," it was merely the first probe.

"Go ahead. Let me see what kind of SSS-tier you truly are."

The two massive lightning fingers shot toward Wind God like lightning.

"So this is the young prodigy of the future? Indeed powerful!

But unfortunately, before me, all shall fade! Gale Domain!"

Lengguang, using the Wind God template, laughed wildly and confidently, as if Wind God himself had descended.

A domain spanning hundreds of meters erupted around him.

This eighth-tier-lower Wind God had also mastered Domain power, reaching First-Layer Domain.

Compared to Greene, he was even more talented!

After all, Greene possessed only an SS-tier ability, while Wind God's was SSS-tier—the difficulty of mastering Domain was far greater.

"Mingyu Wind Shield!"

A black gale shield, spanning over a thousand meters, instantly coalesced.

Boom—

The two Lei Shen's Fingers struck it with thunderous force; when the shield was eroded, the fingers vanished simultaneously.

"Lengguang is cheating! Mingyu Wind Shield is an S-tier technique Wind God developed only after becoming a Law Saint.

Wind God is still only eighth-tier-lower—he couldn't have created this technique yet!"

Eva protested indignantly.

Learning someone else's technique and using one's own self-created technique were not even in the same league.

The power of this S-tier Mingyu Wind Shield in Wind God's hands approached that of others' SSS-tier techniques.

"It's a trial. The opponent naturally won't be bound by such restrictions."

Xu Jingming grinned, revealing a row of sharp fangs:

"Besides, I'm using two S-tier techniques against his one SS-tier—that already proves he's inferior to me."

Hum—

The Radiant Thunder Ring behind him spun furiously, coalescing into a black thunder dragon hundreds of meters long, which roared toward Wind God.

Simultaneously,

Xu Jingming felt the terrifying gales rushing toward him!

Ssssh—

The gales and thunder consumed each other; clearly, Chaotic Divine Thunder held the upper hand.

But Dark Prison Wind was still an SSS-tier ability, and many fragments slipped past the Chaotic Divine Thunder's slaughter, striking Xu Jingming.

After entering Thunderstorm State, his physique was formidable, his blood qi like a boiling furnace!

These dark winds swept over him, leaving only slight stings—no significant damage.

Yet at that moment, he felt a black gale suddenly surge into his consciousness sea!

"Hmm?"

Xu Jingming frowned.

The Soul-Subduing Pagoda, which had always protected his consciousness, rose instantly and smashed down, annihilating the gale.

"Dark Prison Wind doesn't just attack with elemental energy—it also strikes at the spiritual level."

This is extremely troublesome for enhancement-type Awakened with weak spiritual energy.

Back then, Wind God earned second place among Jin Nation's seven supreme warriors precisely because of this technique."

Eva noticed Xu Jingming's anomaly and explained.

"I see." Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

To other Awakened, this ability was indeed troublesome—but to him, it meant nothing.
