Chapter 939: Breakthrough Complete! Nawa

World-Ending Fireball!

Elemental Fire SSS-Rank Combat Technique!

Kent had cultivated this technique to Advanced Proficiency.

Combined with the amplification of the Second Layer Flame Domain, the temperature had reached a terrifying 926,000 degrees Celsius!

When this blazing fireball, over a hundred meters in diameter, descended...

Under the radiation of ultra-high heat, the surrounding ice plains vanished instantly, sublimating directly from solid to gas!

The terrifying power of this fireball was evident.

If it struck Su Qingli directly, it would likely take off half her life!

But as the fireball neared the emerald thunder sea, violent black lightning suddenly appeared.

It instantly coalesced into a thick lightning shield protecting the emerald thunder sea!

BOOM!

The scorching fireball slammed into the black lightning shield, resembling a black hole, unleashing staggering energy fluctuations—yet it could not advance an inch further!

Beneath the black lightning shield, a young man had already risen from the ground.

The young man stood over three meters tall, his physique massive and imposing.

Behind him, a black circular halo rotated slowly, lightning swirling around him, standing like a demonic god.

“Jingming, you’ve completed your breakthrough?”

Su Qingli, having reverted from elemental form to human shape, exclaimed joyfully.

“Yes, just in time. Otherwise, it would’ve been troublesome.”

Xu Jingming nodded, “Details later—first, deal with these people.”

Having broken through from Eighth Rank Lower to Eighth Rank Middle, he felt his strength had surged dramatically.

But he hadn’t checked the system panel, so he didn’t know exactly how much he’d gained.

Still, he felt his power was no weaker than any of the three opponents!

“Good!”

Su Qingli’s hair whipped wildly as she unleashed her S-Rank Jade Pure Divine Thunder at full power.

Black and emerald lightning interwove, instantly erasing the hundred-meter-wide fireball from the air!

“It’s Xu Jingming! But how is this possible?!”

Behind them, the black man Kent nearly dropped his jaw.

With surprise against ignorance, he was confident this World-Ending Fireball would severely injure Su Qingli!

The opening had gone exactly as planned—he shattered her lightning shield with overwhelming force.

But he never expected Xu Jingming to intercept it—and crush it outright!

Remember, Xu Jingming had only just broken through to Eighth Rank Middle!

Yet he himself was a full major rank higher than Xu Jingming!

“Mission objective changed! Ignore the Divine Son’s goal—Xu Jingming must die!”

Seeing this, Nawa’s expression darkened.

He immediately transmitted a mental message, his gaze toward Xu Jingming filled with dread.

Most psychics needed time to adapt after a breakthrough.

But Xu Jingming was different—he acted immediately upon breaking through!

Worse, his follow-up technique’s power matched Kent’s World-Ending Fireball!

That was terrifying.

It meant Xu Jingming could release an SSS-Rank technique in less than one or two seconds!

Such a person, he would not allow to remain alive opposing the Celestial Mandate Sect.

“Understood!”

Kent and Nira nodded simultaneously, then all three unleashed their Divine Blood Secret Techniques!

BOOM!

Crimson bloodlust erupted violently, staining the entire horizon a bloody red.

Fierce beast limbs appeared on Nawa, Kent, and Nira as if stitched together.

A thick stench of blood spread, nauseating.

The Divine Blood Secret Technique offered minimal enhancement for Ninth Rank psychics—less than a minor rank.

Yet even so, it caused their aura to surge, more than doubling their previous strength!

“Divine Blood Secret Technique? So you’re scum of the Celestial Mandate Sect—you’re everywhere, aren’t you?”

Xu Jingming’s eyebrows lifted, his black dragon-like pupils brimming with unrestrained fury.

Killing Divine Blood Envoys granted him abundant psychic points, but he preferred initiative, not reaction.

Especially when interrupted like this.

Had he not broken through just in time, Teacher Su would already be gravely wounded.

“One day, I will uproot the Celestial Mandate Sect entirely.”

Xu Jingming’s voice was icy, as if emanating from the deepest pits of hell.

“Uproot us? Ridiculous! Survive my blows first!”

Nawa sneered, accelerating alongside Nira.

Both were Martial Saints—Nawa, an S-Rank Ninth Rank Lower; Nira, an S-Rank Ninth Rank Middle.

One wielded a blade, the other a sword, both charging toward Xu Jingming.

“Teacher, handle the Ninth Rank Magical Saint behind us.”

“I’ll take the S-Rank Martial Saint. Xiao Lian, you take the A-Rank Martial Saint.”

Breaking through to Eighth Rank Middle had massively boosted Xu Jingming’s strength.

But he wasn’t arrogant enough to fight two Ninth Rank Martial Saints at once.

Especially since one was S-Rank and the other, though only A-Rank, was Ninth Rank Middle.

Neither could be underestimated.

“Understood.”

Su Qingli’s gaze sharpened; her jade hand swept, unleashing endless emerald heavenly thunder toward Kent behind.

Iron Lotus detached from Xu Jingming, revealing her massive true form.

Countless vines sprouted, coiling like giant serpents toward Nira.

“Ninth Rank plant life? You’ve got more tricks than I thought.”

Nawa sneered inwardly, relieved.

Thank goodness they had enough numbers—if not, they might not have been able to touch Xu Jingming, even risk being killed!

“Still, you chose me as your opponent—I must admire your courage.”

Nawa’s face twisted into a cruel grin.

He knew Xu Jingming possessed an SSS-Rank psychic ability, and his true combat power had already reached Ninth Rank!

But he was unlike ordinary Ninth Ranks—he was an S-Rank Ninth Rank, with exceptional combat strength!

More crucially, he possessed an immortal body that Eighth Rank Grand Masters lacked.

That was something Xu Jingming could never match.

“Oh? Really?”

At that moment, a streak of black lightning flashed—Xu Jingming’s massive form appeared before him.

His dragon-like pupils radiated a fury that seemed ready to obliterate all—Nawa’s heart lurched.

Then,

Xu Jingming’s spear, wreathed in black lightning, shot forward like lightning!

Nawa didn’t dodge—he swung his blade with ferocity toward Xu Jingming’s neck!

Trade damage—he had an immortal body.

In the end, Xu Jingming would die first!

Moreover, he targeted the neck—Xu Jingming would have to retract his spear to defend!

Forced to interrupt his attack, Xu Jingming’s rhythm would break, and then he’d press the advantage!

But he never expected Xu Jingming to show no intention of retracting his spear.

This filled him with sudden joy!

His bloodlust surged; his blade’s speed increased further.

Yet before Nawa’s blade reached its target, Xu Jingming’s spear had already pierced Nawa’s body!

Nawa’s SSS-Rank battle armor reduced the impact by 50%, yet the sharp spear still drove deep into his flesh.

Instantly, SSS-Rank Chaotic Divine Thunder exploded, engulfing his entire left shoulder!

CRACKLE—Nawa’s left shoulder was instantly obliterated into ash!

In that instant, he felt roughly 5% of his immortal substance consumed.

“5%? How is the damage so high?”

Nawa’s face showed shock.

He knew that even another S-Rank Ninth Rank Martial Saint could only cut off 2% of his immortal substance with a single strike.

Amidst his shock, he also felt a pang of relief.

Luckily, he had shifted slightly—otherwise, that spear would have shattered his right shoulder.

With this, his battle blade could never reach Xu Jingming!

“Since you won’t pull back your spear, then die!”

The battle blade was about to strike Xu Jingming.

Suddenly, a deep thunderous roar echoed, and the black lightning ring behind Xu Jingming spun wildly.

A thick shield of lightning enclosed and protected him.

CLANG!!

The battle blade struck it, producing a sharp metallic ring—and, to Nawa’s stunned gaze, could not advance an inch further...
