Chapter 930: Ice Elemental Essence! New Discovery!

Cold winds howled, and endless snowflakes seemed to dye the entire world white.

In this vast white world, only Xu Jingming’s dark figure stood out prominently.

Before the two-hundred-meter-tall glacier giant, Xu Jingming, standing over three meters tall, appeared tiny.

Yet his aura, gripping the long spear, was no less formidable—even subtly overpowering his opponent!

The blizzard capable of freezing a seventh-rank Master-level adept into an ice statue could not harm Xu Jingming at all, blocked by the Chaotic Divine Thunder.

A flash of black lightning—the spear thrust forward with terrifying might!

Sssshhh!

The glacier giant’s body, as hard as SSS-grade alloy, was slashed open by a wound several meters long!

Whoosh—

The glacier giant did not sit idle; its massive ice palm, dozens of meters wide, slammed down violently.

The sheer wind force stirred up another storm!

Yet Xu Jingming’s face remained expressionless, calm as still water.

A flash of lightning—he appeared instantly on the other side of the glacier giant.

Sssshhh!

Another fresh wound appeared on the glacier giant’s body.

Xu Jingming’s form did not stop; as he flashed repeatedly, his spear hammered continuously against the giant.

From afar, it looked like a streak of black lightning leaping across the glacier giant’s surface.

“Could Jingming’s attacks really be this strong?”

A look of astonishment surfaced on Su Qingli’s fair, delicate face.

She knew that only her own SSS-grade combat technique could leave a wound on this colossal glacier giant.

Yet every time Xu Jingming thrust his spear, he left a significant wound!

Although she had not yet transformed into her elemental state or activated her domain, Xu Jingming had also not used any powerful combat technique.

Yet what she didn’t know was that Xu Jingming’s spear technique had reached perfection.

His perfected spear technique had only one trait: speed.

Extreme speed, combined with his SSS-grade Chaotic Divine Thunder.

It made Xu Jingming seem as if he wielded lightning itself—each thrust inflicted massive damage.

“Lei Guan Demon-Slaying Spear!”

Boom!

A thick column of black lightning blazed to life!

Xu Jingming’s spear obliterated one-third of the glacier giant’s body!

But it wasn’t over.

While thrusting his spear, he simultaneously activated another technique with split focus.

Lei Long Technique, Lei Shen Finger—like divine punishment, they slammed into the glacier giant.

“Dual cultivation of martial and elemental arts—how terrifying is this power?”

Su Qingli murmured in awe.

Xu Jingming alone could match the combined offensive power of a martial artist and an elemental master.

Even surpass it slightly.

After all, two adepts still needed to coordinate.

But Xu Jingming could achieve the perfect timing for technique release all by himself.

The ice plain was the glacier giant’s domain, but Xu Jingming’s Chaotic Divine Thunder combined with his spear technique was simply too terrifying.

He eliminated it in less than five minutes.

Boom boom~~~

The two-hundred-meter-tall glacier giant, riddled with wounds, collapsed with a thunderous crash.

Massive ice chunks smashed into the ground, carving deep craters, and even nearby glaciers showed signs of collapse.

Xu Jingming, back on solid ground, felt a hint of regret.

Killing this glacier giant had granted him no ability points.

“Looks like I still need to find a group of beast monsters. But what is this newly formed energy?”

Xu Jingming gazed ahead.

Although the glacier giant’s mental energy had been completely extinguished, in his perception—

When the giant collapsed, a brand-new energy began forming.

“Could the glacier giant not be fully dead?” Xu Jingming frowned.

It wasn’t impossible—he’d never encountered such a creature before.

Thinking this, the black Chaotic Divine Thunder swirling around his body grew even more violent.

Behind him, the Extreme Radiance Thunder Ring rotated slowly, poised and ready to unleash a technique at any moment.

“Jingming.”

Su Qingli’s slender figure descended from the sky and landed beside Xu Jingming, equally ready to strike.

The blizzard, now uncontrolled by the glacier giant, gradually subsided; the newly formed energy neared completion.

Before their eyes appeared a snow-white energy sphere, the size of a basketball.

The sphere seemed to contain immensely potent ice-element energy.

Around it, a miniature space had formed, with snowflakes continuously drifting down.

“What is this?”

Not detecting any mental energy fluctuations from the sphere, Xu Jingming activated his mental control.

With a thought, he pulled the icy sphere down from midair.

The moment he touched it, a bone-chilling cold surged through him.

The sphere’s temperature was at least minus two hundred degrees!

“This energy signature… it resembles the elemental essence I encountered before?”

As he pondered, Eva’s holographic projection emerged from his smart bracer, exclaiming in delight:

“S-rank! This is Ice Elemental Essence!”

“It really is Elemental Essence?” Xu Jingming stared in shock at the snow-white elemental sphere in his hand.

“And not just ordinary Elemental Essence.”

Pale blue virtual light streamed from Eva, projecting onto the sphere.

“The ice-element condensation level is terrifying.

I’ve never seen an elemental essence with this structure.

Yet compared to ordinary elemental essence, its contained energy is far more advanced…”

Eva’s adorable face glowed with excitement; after scanning carefully for a while, she concluded triumphantly:

“This is indeed Ice Elemental Essence—and far rarer than ordinary Ice Elemental Essence.

If used by an S-rank ice-element adept, it might directly evolve their ability to SS-rank!”

“Elemental Essence that can evolve an ability to SS-rank?”

Xu Jingming and Su Qingli exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other’s eyes.

SS-rank abilities were not common.

Even the pinnacle civilization’s golden generation had fewer than fifteen SS-rank adepts total.

This single essence could reverse fate, granting an adept a completely different combat potential.

“It’s only a possibility,” Eva quickly added, realizing she’d overstated.

“Based on the energy currently stored, the chance of evolution is likely under 1%.”

Based on the energy accumulated in this elemental essence, the probability of transformation may be less than 1%.

Xu Jingming stared at the snow-white ice sphere in his hand. “I’m certain—if this news got out,

countless adepts would fight to the death to seize this sphere.”

The importance of abilities to adepts needed no explanation.

Even a 1% chance would attract legions of eighth- and ninth-rank experts.

“And this essence can still be enhanced, right?”

Xu Jingming mused.

“Probably.”

Eva nodded. “Destroying a few more glacier giants like this should further condense this Ice Elemental Essence.”

At that moment, Su Qingli suddenly spoke up:

“Jingming, come look! There seem to be other things here!”
