Chapter 983: Is Xu Jingming This Strong? Escape!

Silence—

The entire scene was as silent as death.

Everyone already knew that Xu Jingming possessed ninth-rank power, since he had obtained the Aurora-level authorization.

But no one expected that Xu Jingming could instantly kill a mid-ninth-rank cultivator!

Remember, this was a Wu Sheng with Imperishable Matter!

It is universally accepted that Martial Saints are extremely hard to kill.

Once they sense danger, Martial Saints immediately flee after restoring themselves with Imperishable Matter.

Yet Owen never even had a chance to escape—he was obliterated in one strike by Xu Jingming!

This proves that Xu Jingming's combat technique's power far exceeded Owen's body's absolute limit.

Even using Imperishable Matter couldn't withstand it!

"Xu Jingming... is he really this strong?"

Someone swallowed hard, lifting his head to look upward.

There, in midair, Xu Jingming stood firm.

Black thunder coiled around him, a phantom image of Lei Shen hovered above his head, and behind him, a circular halo resembling a divine aura slowly rotated.

The wild, icy aura radiating from him gave him an air of supreme dominance over all things!

"Xu Jingming! The new Aurora-level! If he doesn't perish, he will surely reach the Supreme!"

Someone, awed by this aura, spoke out in wonder.

Yet in midair, Xu Jingming's cold, deadly expression didn't change as he took the five exchanged items from Lord Hei Yu.

"Thank you, Lord Hei Yu."

Xu Jingming handed Lord Hei Yu a space ring already filled with Void Stones.

The progress bar in the void immediately changed:

Void Stones consumed: /

Whoosh—

Spatial energy surged, and a vast, pitch-black teleportation gate instantly appeared beside him.

"Damn it! You can't leave!"

Leo had reached the final three kilometers, his devastating, world-ending blood qi crashing over with a roar.

"Leo?"

Xu Jingming's cold, black dragon pupils fixed on him, and a reckless smile spread across his face:

"You, old dog, think you deserve the Supreme God's Blood? Wait for your next life!"

Old dog?!

Everyone present trembled at the words.

This was a peak-ninth-rank powerhouse! Who dared insult him like that?

Instantly, all eyes turned to Xu Jingming in midair.

Their gazes held surprise, disdain, and varied emotions—but mostly admiration.

An eighth-rank mid-level Grand Master dared to insult a peak-ninth-rank cultivator.

Xu Jingming is truly the first in history to do so.

Leo was so enraged he shook violently, his blood qi churning even more fiercely, as if the air around him would ignite.

He accelerated again, but Xu Jingming and Su Qingli moved faster, stepping directly into the teleportation gate and vanishing.

"Bastard! Don't go!"

Leo's form arrived moments later, then shot into the gate like a meteor and disappeared.

After Leo left, the peak-ninth-rank aura that had dominated the entire scene vanished, allowing the remaining crowd to finally breathe again.

"Xu Jingming... has he become this strong?"

Leon, like a lion king, only now came to his senses.

Though he possessed an S-class ability and had reached peak-eighth-rank,

He could barely hold his own against a low-ninth-rank Wu Sheng with an A-class ability.

He couldn't even force the opponent to use Imperishable Matter, let alone kill him.

Yet Xu Jingming instantly killed a mid-ninth-rank Wu Sheng! It was simply too overwhelming...

Leon unconsciously glanced at Catherine, standing elegantly beside him.

Back in the Global Genius Exchange Competition, Xu Jingming had ranked first, and his cousin Catherine had ranked second.

Now, Xu Jingming was already mid-eighth-rank and could instantly kill an A-class mid-ninth-rank.

But Catherine was only low-seventh-rank, barely able to kill A-class eighth-rank opponents.

"He's a monster. Don't compare me to him."

Sensing her cousin's scrutinizing gaze, Catherine muttered irritably.

"That's true."

Leon nodded, then added with a touch of glee: "But looks like he won't escape this time—caught by Leo, he'll lose more than skin."

As America's prodigy, Leon naturally didn't wish Xu Jingming well.

With the Supreme-level elder Aimos looming, even if Leo caught Xu Jingming, he'd likely not choose to kill him.

But even seizing Xu Jingming's resources and equipment would be enough to make him happy.

"Not necessarily."

Catherine, with golden hair and blue eyes, crossed her arms, her red lips moving slightly: "Don't forget—Xu Jingming's woman, Ling Shuang, is a spatial ability user."

"So what? She's not here right now anyway." Leon retorted.

"She really isn't, but Xu Jingming most likely has some kind of teleportation item on him." Catherine said with a light snort.

During her time in Da Xia, she had personally witnessed the terror of Lord Hei Yu's space-type ability.

"This......"

Leon was left speechless, and said somewhat helplessly: "Whose side are you even on? You won't even speak up for your own brother."

"I'm not on anyone's side."

A bright, sunny smile bloomed on Catherine's pretty face, and she walked forward on her long slender legs:

"The teleportation channel is open, let's go."

Seeing this, Leon could only step forward and follow.

Catherine possessed an SS-class ability; even though his level was higher than hers, he still had to listen to her......

On the other side, the Leng Yuexi sisters were likewise shocked by Xu Jingming's display.

Only after quite a while did they come back to their senses. A complicated expression rose on Leng Yuexi's pretty face, and she sighed wistfully:

"The gap is only getting bigger......"

Back when they were operating together in the wilderness zone of the Chaotic Triangle Domain, her strength was higher than Xu Jingming's.

But now, even though her ability had evolved to S-class, she was still left far behind by Xu Jingming.

"To have this kind of strength at just 20 years old — even in my Noah Holy Land, he'd count as a second-tier prodigy.

It's just a pity he was born in such a remote star system.

Forget it, I'll keep observing. Who knows, he might still give me other surprises later on."

Lord Hei Yu's raven's crimson eyes fixed on the direction Xu Jingming had left, then with a 'poof' he dissolved into countless rays of light and vanished on the spot......

Just as Catherine had predicted.

Xu Jingming, who had entered the 10th floor of the Void-Breaking Tower through the teleportation gate, directly activated the Space Beast Bone and teleported away together with Su Qingli.

"Spatial teleportation?! A technique of the Void Temple! Damn it!"

Leo, who had just come through the teleportation channel, could only watch helplessly as the two vanished from his sight.

He didn't know that Xu Jingming had used a Space Beast Bone, and assumed it was some special item from the Void Temple.

After all, in the Spark World, anything related to space was inseparable from the Void Temple.

"This is troublesome now. Finding Xu Jingming again will be much harder." Leo's gaze flickered.

Xu Jingming wasn't a fool; with his identity exposed this time, the other side would definitely try every means to avoid him.

"There are still four portions of Supreme God Blood......"

Leo raised his head and glanced at the sky.

The exchange list that had only appeared at the endpoint on the previous floor was now projected across the entire sky.

"Enough of that. I'll just keep looking for Void Stones. Xu Jingming — next time we meet, I'll deal with you!"

With a cold snort, Leo transformed into a streak of light and shot off into the distance.

He had already accumulated over two million Void Stones; he only needed another two million to exchange for one portion of Supreme God Blood.

Rather than wasting time searching for Xu Jingming, he might as well go hunt for Void Stones directly.
