Chapter 993: Breakthrough to Ninth Tier! Attributes Explode!

BOOM!!

The instant Xu Jingming chose to allocate points, infinite primal energy from the surrounding heavens and earth surged violently toward him, flooding into his body.

“This commotion… is Jingming about to break through?”

On the thunderclouds, Leng Yuexi’s expression turned stunned; Leng Yuechan’s eyes widened in shock as well.

Before entering the Breakthrough Tower, they had just received word that Xu Jingming had already broken through to the Eighth Tier.

Yet now, less than two months since entering the Breakthrough Tower, he’s already beginning to break through from Eighth Tier Mid to Upper.

How are other psychics supposed to survive this?

“It seems so.”

Su Qingli nodded in awe, “Let’s go down and take a look.”

BOOM—!!

The azure Shangqing Divine Thunder erupted violently, striking the ground; Su Qingli activated her Mind Net to detect all movements within a three-kilometer radius.

System point allocation differs from ordinary breakthroughs—it effectively skips the intermediate cultivation time, compressing the entire breakthrough into an extremely short span!

Naturally, the results are far superior to ordinary breakthroughs.

Just one minute later, Xu Jingming completed his breakthrough and ascended to Eighth Tier Upper!

【Level】: Eighth Tier Upper

【Physique】: Blood Qi

【Spirit】: He

The level breakthrough instantly caused Xu Jingming’s physique and spiritual power to surge by one hundred thousand points each!

“This is merely a minor step from Mid to Upper Tier—what if he breaks through to Ninth Tier? How strong would he become?”

Xu Jingming’s eyes blazed with brilliant light.

At that moment, Su Qingli walked up, her long legs moving gracefully, a bright smile lighting her fair face:

“Congratulations, Jingming, on breaking through to Eighth Tier Upper. Are you going to consume the Holy Essence Pill next?”

“Exactly!” Xu Jingming grinned, “I’m going to break through to Ninth Tier in one go!”

Ninth Tier?!

Leng Yuexi and her sister were startled nearby.

They suddenly remembered Xu Jingming still possessed a Holy Essence Pill capable of directly propelling an Eighth Tier Upper psychic to Ninth Tier!

“Sister, isn’t Xu Jingming still quite young?”

Watching Xu Jingming, eyes half-closed, preparing his state, Leng Yuechan asked instinctively.

“Yes, he is.”

Leng Yuexi shook her head, “He won’t turn twenty until next month.”

She had carefully reviewed Xu Jingming’s records before.

His birthday is December 21st; it’s only November now…

“A Ninth Tier under twenty?”

Leng Yuechan drew a sharp breath, whispering in awe: “Once this is over and Xu Jingming returns, the entire Blue Planet will be shaken…”

The Holy Essence Pill is an SSR-grade pill, enabling an Eighth Tier Upper psychic to break through to Ninth Tier without side effects.

But pills are still pills—they’re not as reliable as the System.

So after reaching Eighth Tier Upper, Xu Jingming spent over an hour.

Only after adjusting his state to peak condition did he swallow the Holy Essence Pill in one gulp!

The pill dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth, then transformed into a warm current flowing through his limbs and organs.

The primal energy storm that had just subsided reappeared around him.

And this time, its scale was far greater than before!

WHOOSH—

Primal energy within a thirty-kilometer radius was churned violently, sucked in like a whale swallowing the ocean by Xu Jingming alone.

Simultaneously, his blood qi and spiritual power began skyrocketing uncontrollably!

“It’s a primal energy storm! A heavenly treasure has emerged over there!”

“Judging by this scale, it’s likely SSR-grade!”

“We’ve hit the jackpot! Hurry! Go!”

“...”

Psychics nearby went wild.

Some flew toward the site in combat aircraft; others used flight-based combat techniques.

Yet at that moment, a violent expanse of lethal, emerald thunder-sea suddenly erupted beneath the primal energy storm!

“Anyone who enters within five kilometers—die!”

Su Qingli stood tall at the center of the thunder-sea, her clear, melodious voice carrying an unyielding, icy killing intent!

“It’s Su Qingli from Great Xia! Her psychic ability has evolved to SS-rank!”

“If Su Qingli is here, Xu Jingming must be here too.”

“Tch, forget it. This opportunity is theirs—we have no claim.”

“...”

Xu Jingming, Su Qingli, plus an S-rank Ninth Tier plant life.

This lineup, located within the Breakthrough Tower, was one that no one dared to provoke except for the top-tier experts.

So even though everyone knew a heavenly treasure had emerged, not a single soul dared approach.

They hadn’t even considered that this commotion was caused by Xu Jingming’s breakthrough.

“He broke through to Eighth Tier Upper so fast and’s already challenging Ninth Tier?”

High above, a black crow coalesced, its crimson eyes fixed on Xu Jingming, filled with faint surprise.

“It seems Xu Jingming’s potential far exceeds my expectations. No need to consider further—this one is chosen.”

With a quiet murmur, the black crow instantly dissolved into a shower of black feathers and vanished.

Breaking through to Ninth Tier took far longer than breaking through to Eighth Tier Upper.

More than ten minutes passed before the primal energy storm engulfing the entire sky finally dissipated.

When Xu Jingming opened his eyes, seated on the ground, it was as if an ancient god had awakened.

The overwhelming aura made Su Qingli instinctively tense, holding her breath.

“This is Ninth Tier!” Xu Jingming, rising from the ground, felt only one thing.

Power!

Unparalleled power!

His body felt as though it could unleash a force capable of destroying the world at any moment!

‘Deep Blue!’

He silently called out, and a pale blue virtual interface appeared in his mind.

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: Ninth Tier Lower

【Psychic Ability】: Chaos Divine Thunder (SSS), Grand Void Azure Dragon (SS-rank)

【Physique】: Blood Qi (+)

【Spirit】: He (+)

【Skills】: Spear Technique (Perfected), Fist Technique (Master Level), Azure Thunder Shield (SSS-rank, Beginner), Heavenly Thunder Divine Punishment Sword (SSS-rank, Master Level)...

【Body Cultivation】: Divine Thunder Blood Demon Body (SSS-rank, Tenth Layer)

【Spirit Refinement】: Thunder Sea Contemplation Method (SSS-rank, Sixth Layer)

【Domain】: Thunder Domain (Second Layer)

【Psychic Points】: Points

“840,000 blood qi, 770,000 spiritual power! My base attributes surged by five hundred thousand points!” Xu Jingming’s heart swelled with joy.

No wonder there’s a fundamental difference between Ninth Tier and Eighth Tier psychics!

The gap is simply enormous!

“A typical Ninth Tier Lower Martial Saint has around 500,000 blood qi—I have 340,000 more than them!”

Xu Jingming’s lips curled slightly upward.

This was the benefit of practicing body cultivation arts—otherwise, his blood qi could never have reached this level.

More importantly,

The Immortal Substance of Martial Saints is fundamentally rooted in blood qi.

Greater blood qi means stronger defense, greater strength, and far harder to kill than other Martial Saints.

“Immortal Substance, plus the Elemental Transformation unique to Law Saints—from now on, I’ll be nearly impossible to kill!”

Xu Jingming smiled, smiling with pure delight.

With his level now broken through to Ninth Tier, he finally possessed the power to stand atop the world’s peak!

And the entire process had taken less than two and a half years...
