Chapter 908

The Firelight Divine 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 youth 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 during the peak civilization of the Jin Nation over two thousand years ago.

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

Lengguang was wreathed in terrifying killing aura, like an ice 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 upon hearing this; the Chaotic Divine Thunder subtly stirred.

Whether it was an intelligent lifeform or not meant nothing to 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 powerhouses.

Based on your performance in the first eight trials, I judge you to be a powerhouse specializing in elemental mastery.

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 'Nether Prison Dark Wind,' and once slew three Beast Gods.

A single stream of Nether Prison Dark 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 youth clad in blue battle armor.

The youth's expression was wild and arrogant, surrounded by countless black gales resembling winds from the netherworld.

"Is that the Wind God?"

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

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

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

Watch out for his Nether Prison Dark Wind—his ability inflicts special damage to spiritual force!"

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

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

With a thought, the Radiant Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan appeared behind him.

Crackling—

Thunder rumbled as black lightning arcs flickered incessantly within the ring.

The Radiant Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan, after one fusion, had surpassed the category of ordinary top-tier elemental weapons.

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

At the same time,

A colossal thunderous figure coalesced in midair, its eyes overlooking the world, radiating boundless dominance!

Lei Shen Jiang Shi enabled Xu Jingming to cast multiple spell-based combat techniques with extremely short cooldowns!

The Thunder Domain opened simultaneously.

The lightning swirling within a hundred-meter radius around Xu Jingming boiled like molten metal, exuding 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 Jiang Shi to defeat him.

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

"Lei Shen Zhi!"

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

With the boost of Lei Shen Jiang Shi, Xu Jingming could simultaneously activate two S+-tier combat techniques.

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

But to this 'Wind God' before him, it was merely the first probe.

"Go—let me see what this SSS-tier is made of."

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

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

But unfortunately, before me, all will fade into obscurity! Gale Domain!"

The Lengguang using the Wind God template, as if the Wind God himself had descended, let out a wild, confident laugh.

A domain spanning hundreds of meters erupted around him.

This eighth-rank lower-tier Wind God had also mastered domain power, reaching Level One Domain.

Compared to Greene, he was even more talented!

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

"Mingyu Wind Shield!"

A black storm shield, spanning over a thousand meters, suddenly coalesced.

Boom—

Two Lei Shen Zhi struck it, producing a tremendous sound; as the shield was stripped away, the Lei Shen Zhi were simultaneously extinguished.

"Leng Guang is cheating! The Mingyu Wind Shield is an SS-rank combat technique developed only after the Wind God became a Law Saint."

"The Wind God himself is only eighth-rank lower tier—this technique shouldn't even exist yet."

Eva said indignantly.

Learning someone else's combat technique and using one you created yourself are utterly different in power.

The power of this SS-rank Mingyu Wind Shield in the Wind God's hands even approaches SSS-rank combat techniques of others.

"It's a trial after all—the opponent naturally won't be so bound by rules."

Xu Jingming grinned, revealing a row of sharp fangs:

"Besides, I'm combining two S-rank techniques against his one SS-rank—that already proves he's not as strong as me."

Hum—

Behind him, the Brilliant Lightning Ring spun wildly, and a black lightning dragon hundreds of meters long coalesced with a roar, hurtling toward the Wind God.

At the same time,

Xu Jingming felt the terrifying gale rushing toward him!

Sizzle—

The gale and lightning devoured each other; it was clear that Chaos Shenlei held the upper hand.

Yet the Youyu Mingfeng was still an SSS-rank ability, and many portions slipped past the Chaos Shenlei's destruction, striking Xu Jingming.

After entering Thunderstorm State, his physique was formidable, his entire bloodline like a boiling furnace!

These Mingfeng swept over him, leaving only slight stinging sensations—unable to inflict serious damage.

And at that moment, he felt a black storm suddenly surge into his consciousness sea!

"Hm?"

Xu Jingming frowned.

The Zhenhun Tower, which had always protected his consciousness, rose into the air and slammed down, crushing it into nothingness.

"Youyu Mingfeng isn't just an elemental energy attack—it also strikes on the spiritual level."

"For enhancement-type adepts with weak spiritual power, it's extremely troublesome."

"Originally, the Wind God used this very technique to secure second place among our Jin Nation's seven supreme powerhouses."

Eva noticed Xu Jingming's anomaly and explained.

"I see." Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

For other adepts, this ability was indeed troublesome—but to him, it meant nothing.
