Chapter 985: Second Ability! Grand Void Azure Dragon!

The instant he swallowed the divine blood, Xu Jingming felt boundless power erupting violently within his body!

It was as if a parched desert encountered water—his body greedily absorbed the supreme divine blood, converting it into his own ability!

“Roar—”

Xu Jingming let out a dragon’s roar, a formidable aura resembling that of a top-tier ferocious beast exploding outward from him!

“Such an astonishing aura!”

Su Qingli’s heart trembled, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

It felt as if a primordial giant beast had fixed its gaze upon her.

She felt unprecedented smallness and profound dread.

Only after enveloping herself in Jade Clear Divine Thunder did this feeling begin to fade.

“Roar—”

“Howl—”

“...”

In the jungle, countless ferocious beasts roared in unison.

But unlike ordinary roars, these sounds brimmed with submission.

They were bowing to their newly born king!

More than ten seconds later, Xu Jingming suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of blue-green light darting through his pupils.

“Deep Blue!”

Mentally whispering the name, Xu Jingming immediately opened his system panel.

“It appeared! The second ability!”

Xu Jingming’s heart leapt with joy, and at the same time, the holographic projection Eve beside him smiled and spoke:

“Congratulations, S-Rank! You’ve successfully acquired the Qianghua -type SS-Rank ability: Grand Void Azure Dragon!”

“You know this ability?” Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow.

“This ability appeared once during the First Civilization Era—I have records of it in my database,” Eve explained with a smile. “After activation, you will gain the power of the Grand Void Ancient Dragon, greatly enhancing your physique and maintaining absolute calmness.”

“What does ‘absolute calmness’ mean?” Xu Jingming asked, puzzled.

“You’ll understand after using it, S-Rank,” Eve replied with a smile.

“Fine, then let me test what this SS-Rank ability can truly do.”

Xu Jingming’s gaze flickered with anticipation as he activated his enhancement ability.

Xu Jingming’s gaze flickered as he eagerly activated his enhancement-type ability.

Before Su Qingli’s curious eyes, his already terrifying aura surged even higher.

His muscles swelled, his height rising from 1.9 meters to 2.5 meters!

His fingers twisted into monstrous, razor-sharp claws resembling dragon talons!

His fingers twisted into something monstrous and razor-sharp, like a dragon’s claw!

A metallic blue-green luster surfaced across his exposed skin.

Deep within his eyes, a faint blue-green glow slowly swirled.

The flow of air, the movement of Yuan energy, the whisper of the breeze...

Xu Jingming felt the entire world’s motion slow to a crawl before his eyes.

This sensation resembled the SS-Rank perception technique “Heart Net,” but its effect was more than ten times stronger!

“So this is absolute calmness,” Xu Jingming murmured, eyes gleaming.

He had once absorbed the essence blood of the Thunder Baolong King, and at times his temperament had turned violent and frenzied.

But now, he felt none of those negative emotions.

Instead, he felt absolute mastery over his own body!

Instead, he felt absolute control over his own body.

A flash of light from his space ring—the SSS-Rank spear materialized in his grip.

SOO-SOO-SOO!!!...

The spear darted like lightning, striking over a hundred times in an instant!

The overlapping sonic booms merged into a piercing wail resembling a dragon’s cry!

“Spear speed doubled! Power tripled!”

Using his spiritual force to sense his state, Xu Jingming easily assessed his current condition.

Using his mental force to sense his condition, Xu Jingming easily assessed his current state.

Undeniably strong.

His qi blood remained at 240,000—unchanged from before.

But his physique’s strength had more than tripled!

This was the transformation brought by the ability!

More crucially, in those hundred strikes, he had controlled the force of each one precisely.

He could even limit the variation in force between two strikes to within 0.1%!

This was the manifestation of absolute bodily control!

“Good! Good! Good! Now my combat endurance will last much longer!”

Xu Jingming laughed aloud as black Chaos Divine Thunder began leaping across his body.

Xu Jingming burst into laughter as the pitch-black, chaotic divine thunder began leaping across his body.

Amidst the shriek of lightning arcs, Xu Jingming’s form swelled again, rising from 2.5 meters to 3.5 meters!

His once-blue eyes were now filled with black lightning, forming a deep emerald hue.

Yet this emerald glow did not appear sinister—it radiated instead an aura of supreme nobility.

Thunderstorm State!

Thunderstorm State Diejia with Grand Void Azure Dragon gave Xu Jingming an unprecedented sense of power.

Su Qingli, standing quietly beside him, was inwardly stunned.

In the past, when Xu Jingming activated Thunderstorm State, he always radiated a violent, oppressive aura.

Now, with Grand Void Azure Dragon, activating Thunderstorm State erased that violence.

In its place was an unprecedented coldness.

A coldness devoid of any emotion whatsoever.

It felt as if... a god was gazing down upon ants!

“Can an enhancement-type SS-Rank ability really be this strong...?” Su Qingli couldn’t help but exclaim.

Su Yu also possessed an enhancement-type SS-Rank ability: Grand Yin Candle Dragon.

But when Su Yu activated his ability, his transformation was nowhere near as dramatic as Xu Jingming’s.

“S-Ranks absorb massive amounts of dragon-class ferocious beast essence blood, and this time he used the highest dragon divine blood.

The two combined to produce a result greater than the sum of its parts.”

The little girl exclaimed excitedly.

Meanwhile, streams of virtual light projected forth, scanning Xu Jingming repeatedly.

He was the first known ability user to possess both an SSS-Rank elemental ability and an SS-Rank enhancement ability—she had to record complete data.

She was the first ever recorded psychic with an SSS-rank elemental ability and an S-rank enhancement ability—she had to record complete data.

Xu Jingming struck again, his black spear wrapped in lightning as if tearing the air apart!

“Spear speed and power have greatly increased, but my bodily control isn’t as precise anymore.”

Xu Jingming stood with spear in hand, a smile forming on his face.

Compared to the surge in power, this slight loss of bodily control meant nothing.

“Teacher, use your Jade Clear Divine Thunder on me,” Xu Jingming said, looking at Su Qingli.

“Alright,” Su Qingli didn’t hesitate—emerald jade thunder surged forth, engulfing Xu Jingming completely!

“Good.” Su Qingli did not hesitate; emerald thunder surged forth, instantly engulfing Xu Jingming.

Thunder roared, yet Xu Jingming didn’t activate any defensive technique.

Even so, the lightning capable of easily killing Eighth Rank Peak cultivators couldn’t even break his skin.

“Teacher, use a B-Rank technique,” Xu Jingming said again.

"Teacher, use a Class B combat technique," Xu Jingming spoke again.

Thus, Su Qingli kept attacking.

Only after using an S+ class combat technique could she leave a wound on Xu Jingming.

“Such incredible defensive power!” Su Qingli no longer knew what to say.

Xu Jingming hadn’t even activated any defensive combat technique—he merely withstood her S+ class techniques with his bare body.

If he were to activate a defensive combat technique, who below the Upper Ninth Rank could possibly harm him?
