Chapter 929: Glacier Giant! Xu Jingming Makes His Move!

On the boundless ice plain, the cold wind howled as goose-feather snowflakes fell without cease.

Xu Jingming and Su Qingli—two phantom streaks, one black, one cyan—flew at top speed through the sky, kicking up gusts of snow.

The space on the seventh floor of the Void-Breaking Tower was far larger than they had imagined.

The two of them flew at full speed for over half an hour, yet still had not reached the edge of this world.

Stranger still, along the way—apart from the human ability-users they encountered—they had not run into a single living creature.

"Could it be that the seventh floor has no demon beasts?"

Xu Jingming's brows furrowed.

Last time, adding points to the Spirit Refining Art had nearly drained his ability points dry.

Fortunately, however, he had slain quite a few demon beasts on the sixth floor, replenishing his ability points back up to 1,310,000.

He had a premonition that these ability points were not far from his next upgrade level.

If there were no demon beasts to slay on the seventh floor, it would cost him a great deal of time.

"Jingming, something's off up ahead."

At that moment, Su Qingli beside him suddenly halted and said in a low voice.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xu Jingming also stopped flying and looked ahead.

Several hundred meters ahead lay a stretch of continuous glaciers.

At first glance, they looked no different from the glaciers seen along the way.

Yet he vaguely sensed something amiss.

Hum—

In Xu Jingming's cold, sharply black-and-white eyes, black Lei Ting suddenly surged forth.

Heart Net!

A perception-type SS-rank battle technique.

The moment this battle technique was released, Xu Jingming immediately detected what was off.

From the glacier ahead, spiritual force fluctuations were actually emanating outward!

Though faint, these spiritual force fluctuations undeniably existed.

"How could a glacier give off spiritual force fluctuations?" Xu Jingming said, somewhat stunned.

This was already beyond his comprehension.

"Not sure."

Su Qingli's expression solemn, faint cyan Lei Ting swirling around her slender, graceful figure.

Just as she was about to ask Xu Jingming whether they should take a detour, a tremendous sound suddenly erupted from ahead.

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

The sound of an avalanche rang out as massive piles of white snow rolled down from the glacier like ocean waves.

Right at the very center of the continuous glacier, a glacier actually 'stood' up!

"Who dares intrude upon my domain!"

A terrifying wave of spiritual force rippled outward, as if rising from the abyss itself.

The faint spiritual force Xu Jingming had sensed through Heart Net rapidly intensified, growing incomparably terrifying—no weaker than a ninth-rank expert!

At the same time, the glacier before them actually grew limbs—legs and arms each stretching dozens of meters long!

A glacier giant over two hundred meters tall appeared within Xu Jingming and Su Qingli's line of sight.

"This is... an elemental giant?" Xu Jingming said, staring at the glacier giant in surprise.

Most ability-users who wielded elemental-type abilities knew this move.

Even he himself, if he wished, could now condense a Lei Ting giant over a hundred meters tall.

But such elemental giants were far too clumsy—unless on the front-line battlefield against fierce beasts, they served little purpose.

This kind of elemental giant required an ability-user's control to move.

Yet the glacier giant before them was moving on its own—not the result of some ability-user secretly unleashing their power.

"Eva, what's going on? Have you ever seen this before?" Xu Jingming couldn't help but ask, puzzled.

"Never." Eva's face was equally blank.

"In that case, I'll leave this glacier giant to you, Su Laoshi."

After a brief moment of thought, Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"Me?"

Su Qingli was taken aback, wondering if she'd misheard, and said peevishly:

"What? Now that you've gotten stronger, you've got the nerve to boss your teacher around?"

"No way."

Xu Jingming chuckled. "Didn't you just say the day before yesterday that you wanted me to guide your Lei Shen Jiangshi? Now's the perfect chance."

This glacier giant's aura was roughly at the lower tier of ninth rank—Su Qingli alone was more than enough to handle it.

"Lei Shen Jiangshi?"

Su Qingli thought it over carefully and realized there indeed was such a thing, though she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

It was as if Xu Jingming were the teacher and she the student.

"Fine, then leave it to me. Pay close attention to how I release my battle technique."

She shook her head and didn't dwell on it further.

S-rank Doushen Shenlei erupted with a thunderous roar, and a cyan Lei Ting phantom abruptly condensed above her head.

"Thunder Dragon Art!"

With a sharp cry, a thunder dragon hundreds of meters long condensed with a roar and charged toward the glacier giant to blast it apart.

It had to be said, Su Qingli's figure was indeed slender and enchanting.

Even in the midst of battle, she possessed a unique kind of beauty.

Xu Jingming, meanwhile, took this opportunity to carefully observe the Lei Shen Jiang Shi that Su Qingli had unleashed.

This SSS-rank combat technique, which he had already upgraded to Grandmaster proficiency, posed no problem at all when used to guide Su Qingli, who only had Beginner proficiency.

Su Qingli was the wielder of the S-rank lightning ability 'Jade Pure Doushen Shenlei'. Xu Jingming had originally thought they could eliminate this glacier giant fairly quickly.

But after fighting for a full ten-plus minutes, they were still locked in a stalemate.

"The glacier giant is continuously absorbing ice elements from the air.

This is its home ground; eliminating it is probably going to be somewhat difficult."

Xu Jingming's brow furrowed slightly.

This was somewhat similar to a ninth-rank Martial Saint's Indestructible Body — before the indestructible substance was completely worn away, there was simply no way to slay it.

Although at their current speed, they could simply bypass this glacier giant.

But this was the only living creature besides human ability-users they had encountered in over half an hour of flying, so they naturally couldn't give up lightly.

Perhaps slaying this glacier giant might yield some unexpected gains.

"I've observed Su Laoshi's Lei Shen Jiang Shi about enough — I'll join in as well."

Crackle-crackle—

Pitch-black Chaotic Divine Lightning coiled around Xu Jingming's body.

He abruptly entered Lightning Form, his burly frame over three meters tall paired with the Extreme Glory Thunder Ring slowly rotating behind his back.

He looked just like a demon god descending upon the world, radiating a terrifying, heart-palpitating aura.

"Jingming?"

Su Qingli also sensed this aura and couldn't help being startled.

On the sixth floor, the highest level of the fierce beasts had only been seventh-rank.

Therefore, she had never seen the scene of Xu Jingming unleashing his full power after his Refining God Art breakthrough.

Seeing it now, it actually gave even her a sense of lethal, dangerous aura!

"Could Jingming's current strength already surpass mine?"

Su Qingli couldn't help thinking silently.

At the same moment, Xu Jingming's figure moved!

He saw his body flash, and he, gripping his long spear, transformed into a black lightning bolt as he charged toward the glacier giant!

"Weakling human, how dare you challenge my majesty!"

The eighth-rank aura emanating from Xu Jingming seemed to have enraged this glacier giant.

A terrifying blizzard descended abruptly, and the temperature instantly plummeted to minus two hundred degrees!

This was an extremely terrifying low temperature — even the motion of molecules would slow down.

"Jingming, be careful."

Seeing this scene, despite trusting Xu Jingming's strength, Su Qingli still instinctively called out a warning.
