Stellar Body: First Form!
Son of the Sun!
When activated, it could withstand temperatures below sixty thousand degrees and briefly store the surrounding light and heat, amplifying his combat power.
The reason Jiang Ming had provoked it was to make the Demon Lizard King unleash its strongest killing move.
If it did not use its killing move and relied solely on its physical abilities, Jiang Ming, who was still only at the invincible War God level, could never have been its match.
He was gambling!
He was betting that the Demon Lizard King, having used its breath for years, had long regarded it as its greatest skill by instinct.
Rather than its short, almost tiny forelimbs or its thick, long tail that maintained its balance.
Although the Demon Lizard King had yet to realize what was happening, its combat instincts told it something.
The human before it was actually making it feel a trace of danger.
Boom!
The Demon Lizard King unleashed another red breath attack at Jiang Ming.
After all, Son of the Sun was merely the First Form of the Stellar Body and could not store energy without limit.
He could no longer store any more light and heat.
So Jiang Ming did not dare remain where he was and take the Demon Lizard King's attack head-on.
Instead, he stomped down, shattering more than ten meters of ground beneath his feet, and charged deeper into the nuclear power plant.
While in the Son of the Sun state, the Demon Lizard King's earlier breath attack had been converted into energy Jiang Ming could use.
That energy had amplified Jiang Ming's combat power tenfold!
At that moment, Jiang Ming's movement speed was no weaker than that of a second-stage Planetary level martial artist.
Compared to Jiang Ming's human body, which stood under two meters tall, the Demon Lizard King's enormous size put it at an absolute disadvantage in agility.
Its straight-line and burst speed might not have been inferior to Jiang Ming's.
But in terms of agility, it could not compare to him in the slightest.
Rumble~ Rumble~ Rumble~
Breath attacks and the Demon Lizard King's sweeping tail lashed toward Jiang Ming one after another.
Yet all of them were evaded by Jiang Ming's nimble movements.
Jiang Ming charged into the depths of the Zhaluoluo Nuclear Power Plant with almost no obstruction.
Boom!
A red breath attack pierced through the containment shell of a nuclear reactor Jiang Ming was near.
The breath energy wreaked widespread destruction within the reactor.
The concentration of nuclear radiation in the air surged dramatically!
"The Demon Lizard King's breath is truly powerful. Just one blast pierced the reactor and caused a nuclear leak."
Jiang Ming's Stellar Body could absorb light, heat, and radiation.
The denser the surrounding radiation, the more perfect it was for him.
Jiang Ming's agile figure continuously darted through the core area of the Zhaluoluo Nuclear Power Plant.
He guided the Demon Lizard King's breath attacks into the nuclear reactors one after another.
The hard containment shells, capable of withstanding nuclear strikes, were as brittle as caramel chocolate before the Demon Lizard King's breath.
Containment shells were shattered one after another, and the nuclear leaks grew increasingly severe.
The nuclear radiation in the air had become strong enough to make even the Demon Lizard King uncomfortable.
Though it had spent years within the Zhaluoluo Nuclear Power Plant, absorbing leaked nuclear energy to strengthen itself,
it was still flesh and blood and could not completely resist excessively concentrated nuclear radiation.
But while the Demon Lizard King struggled to adapt, Jiang Ming was like a dragon returning to the sea!
Every cell in his body greedily absorbed the nuclear radiation in the air, generating new strength within him every moment.
His strength grew greater and greater! The energy stored within his body also became increasingly saturated.
Until a thunderous explosion rang out from within Jiang Ming's body!
A scarlet red Miniature Planet was born within Jiang Ming!
The instant the Miniature Planet formed, it generated a magnetic field that canceled out Earth's external magnetic field.
Jiang Ming's body rose directly into the air!
Physical Flight! Miniature Planet! Canceling planetary gravity!
This was the Planetary level!
Boom!
Feeling the exhilarating power within him, Jiang Ming gripped his battle saber and slashed at the Demon Lizard King.
This slash was the Fourth Layer of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade!
Jiang Ming had always possessed considerable talent, and the Domain Lord level Talent Secret Technique, Stellar Body, not only tripled his Body Gene and vastly enhanced his physical talent,
but also improved his comprehension of all kinds of low-level secret techniques.
Someone who had attended university could quickly understand kindergarten lessons even if he had never gone to kindergarten, and could even quickly become a kindergarten teacher.
Although the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade was already the most elite secret technique on Earth,
it could not compare in the slightest to a Domain Lord level Talent Secret Technique.
A Talent Secret Technique was still just a Talent Secret Technique. Though Jiang Ming could use it, he did not truly understand its principles.
He could only improve his understanding through repeated use and contemplation.
If he could learn the First Form of the Stellar Body through his own abilities, then all the so-called secret techniques on Earth would be things he could learn at a glance and even improve.
Even so, Jiang Ming had reached the Fourth Layer in only three months. If he studied them further, breaking through the Fifth and Sixth Levels would be easy.
In fact, after breaking through to the Planetary level, many things he had not understood before suddenly became clear.
Moved by sudden inspiration, Jiang Ming swung his second slash.
Fifth level of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade!
The first slash shattered the Demon Lizard King's scales. The second cut deep into its muscles and struck the bones inside its body.
"Roar!"
The Demon Lizard King cried out in pain!
The next moment, a red breath attack struck Jiang Ming, but this time, he neither dodged nor evaded!
When the scarlet light faded, Jiang Ming was completely unharmed. Not even a single hair on his body had been scorched.
Only the crimson-gold Sun God Mark on his body shone even more brilliantly.
Like a true star in the sky!
Although Jiang Ming could also use the First Form of the Stellar Body during the Apprentice stage, it had been incomplete.
As a Domain Lord level Talent Secret Technique, how could its true First Form fail to defeat even a Planetary level opponent?
It was merely limited by Jiang Ming's severely insufficient cultivation, preventing him from fully unleashing it.
Now that he had reached the Planetary level, he could unlock a small portion of the First Form's power.
The Demon Lizard King's breath was nourishment to Jiang Ming. The more it spat, the more imposing Jiang Ming became.
Only after the Demon Lizard King spat out two more blasts did it sorrowfully realize that its greatest weapon had been completely countered by the human before it!
Its huge tail swept out, the massive lizard tail smashing sideways like a high-rise building.
But in the next second, Jiang Ming vanished from where he stood, appearing before the Demon Lizard King and unleashing a frenzied slash!
The slash landed at the base of the Demon Lizard King's tail, carving to the bone. Half of its snow-white bones were exposed, along with the dark-red bone marrow within.
Raging Saber slashed again!
The Demon Lizard King's massive tail was severed completely!
"Roar!"
The Demon Lizard King went mad from pain. Blood-red energy rose around its body, while violent, irregular energy fluctuations erupted within it.
For the first time, Jiang Ming's expression changed as he sensed that aura.
Having absorbed the leaked nuclear energy in the power plant for years, the Demon Lizard King had formed a Nuclear Energy Bead within its body.
That Nuclear Energy Bead was equivalent to its second core, constantly supplying it with energy.
The source of energy for the red breath it spat was this Nuclear Energy Bead.
It had gone completely mad. It intended to detonate the Nuclear Energy Bead and perish together with Jiang Ming!
Boom!
A mushroom cloud shot into the sky, blooming sixty kilometers above the ground.
That awe-inspiring mushroom cloud could be seen from within a thousand-kilometer radius.
Seismographs across the globe all lit up at that moment!
