Chapter 939: Breakthrough Complete! Nawa

World-Ending Fireball!

Elemental Fire SSS-Rank Combat Technique!

Kent had cultivated this combat 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 was about to hit the azure sea of lightning, violent black lightning suddenly appeared.

It instantly coalesced into a thick lightning shield protecting the azure sea of lightning!

Boom—!

The scorching fireball slammed into the black lightning shield, resembling a black hole, unleashing staggering energy fluctuations—yet 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 ring slowly rotated, lightning swirling around him, standing like a demonic god.

"Jingming, you've completed your breakthrough?"

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

"Yeah, just in time. Otherwise, it would've been troublesome."

Xu Jingming nodded, "Details later—first, deal with these people here."

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

But he didn't yet know exactly how much it had increased—he had no time to check the system panel.

Still, he felt his power was no weaker than any of the three across from him!

"Good!"

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

Black and azure lightning intertwined, swiftly 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!

At first, it went exactly as he planned—crushing through Su Qingli's lightning shield with overwhelming force.

But he never expected it to be stopped—and shattered—by Xu Jingming!

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

Yet he himself was a full major rank above Xu Jingming!

"Mission objective changed! No need to fulfill the Divine Son's goal—Xu Jingming must die!"

Seeing this, Nawa's expression also shifted slightly.

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

Most psychics require time to familiarize themselves with their newfound power after a breakthrough.

But Xu Jingming was different—he immediately attacked the moment he broke through!

More critically, Xu Jingming's follow-up technique's power matched Kent's World-Ending Fireball!

That was terrifying.

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

Such a person—he would never allow him to remain alive opposing the Tianming Sect.

"Understood!"

Kent and Nila both nodded, then simultaneously activated 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 Nila as if stitched together.

A thick stench of blood spread, nauseating.

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

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

"Divine Blood Secret Technique? So you're scum of the Tianming Sect—how can you be everywhere we go?"

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

Though slaying Divine Blood Envoys granted him large amounts of psychic points, he preferred to act proactively, not be reactive.

Especially when interrupted like this.

Had he not completed his breakthrough just in time, Teacher Su would already be severely wounded.

"One day, I will uproot the entire Tianming Sect."

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

"Uproot us? Ridiculous! Survive my attack first!"

Nawa sneered, accelerating his flight alongside Nila.

Both were Saint-Level warriors—one Ninth-Rank Lower S-Rank, the other Ninth-Rank Middle S-Rank.

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

"Teacher, you deal with the ninth-rank Archmage behind us.

I'll deal with that S-rank Wu Sheng. Xiaolian, you deal with that A-rank Wu Sheng."

Breaking through to mid eighth-rank caused Xu Jingming's strength to surge by a large margin.

But he wasn't so arrogant as to think he could take on two ninth-rank Martial Saints at the same time.

Especially since one of them was S-rank, and although the other was only A-rank, his level had reached mid ninth-rank.

Neither of them could be underestimated.

"Alright."

Su Qingli's gaze hardened. With a flick of her jade hand, endless azure heavenly thunder crashed down toward Kent behind them.

Clematis also detached from Xu Jingming's body, revealing its massive true form.

It sprouted countless vines, which, like giant pythons, snaked toward Nila to entangle her.

"A ninth-rank plant lifeform? Quite a few trump cards."

Nawa snorted coldly, secretly rejoicing in his heart.

Good thing they had enough people, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to do anything to Xu Jingming and the others, and might even have been counter-killed!

"However, you actually chose me as your opponent. I can't help but admire your courage."

A savage grin spread across Nawa's face.

He knew Xu Jingming possessed an SSS-rank ability, and his actual combat power had already reached ninth-rank!

But he was different from an ordinary ninth-rank — he was an S-rank ninth-rank, with extremely strong combat power!

More crucially, he possessed an immortal body that an eighth-rank Grandmaster did not.

This was something Xu Jingming could never compare to.

"Oh? Is that so?"

At that moment, a flash of black Lei Guang streaked past, and Xu Jingming's massive form had already arrived before him.

A pair of dragon-like vertical pupils carried a violent, world-destroying fury that made even Nawa's heart involuntarily skip a beat.

Immediately after,

The long spear wreathed in black lightning on Xu Jingming's hand thrust out explosively, like a bolt of lightning!

Nawa didn't dodge. Instead, with a vicious look, he swung his blade toward Xu Jingming's neck!

Trading injury for injury — he had an immortal body.

When the exchange ended, Xu Jingming would be the first to die!

Moreover, this slash was aimed at the neck, so Xu Jingming would have to pull back his spear to defend!

Forced to interrupt his thrust, Xu Jingming's offensive rhythm would be affected, and then he could press the advantage!

However, to his surprise, Xu Jingming showed absolutely no intention of pulling back his spear to defend.

This couldn't help but make his heart leap with joy!

His qi and blood surged wildly, and the speed of his battle-blade swing increased once more.

But before Nawa's battle-blade could arrive, Xu Jingming's long spear had already struck Nawa's body first!

The SSS-rank battle armor on Nawa's body weakened the impact by 50%, but even so, the sharp spear still pierced into Nawa's body.

Immediately after, the SSS-rank Doushen Shenlei erupted violently, instantly engulfing his entire left shoulder!

Crackle-pop! Nawa's left shoulder was directly obliterated into dregs!

In that instant, Nawa felt that the immortal substance within his body had been consumed by about 5%.

"5%? How could the damage be this high?"

Shock appeared on Nawa's face.

One had to know that an S-rank ninth-rank Wu Sheng of the same level could, at most, cut away only about 2% of his immortal substance with a single slash.

While horrified, he also felt a sense of relief.

Good thing he had dodged slightly, otherwise this spear would have directly crippled his right shoulder.

That way, his battle-blade wouldn't have been able to reach Xu Jingming at all!

"Since you won't pull back your spear to defend, then go die!"

Watching the battle-blade about to strike Xu Jingming's body.

Suddenly, a muffled rumble of thunder sounded, and the black lightning ring behind Xu Jingming spun wildly.

A thick lightning shield protected him within.

Clang!!

The battle-blade struck it, producing a crisp Jin Ge sound, and under Nawa's stunned gaze, it could not advance even a single inch further......
