Raging Seas Roll Back! Blazing Suns Compete for Glory!

Outside the Thunder World, a large number of Universe level and Domain Lord level powerhouses had gathered.

As news from within the Thunder World spread, two explosive pieces of information swept across the entire Black Dragon Mountain starfield.

"The World within a World of the Thunder World has appeared, and the Thunder World Lord once obtained an Undying inheritance!"

"A God has appeared in the Thunder World and single-handedly annihilated tens of thousands of Stellar level armies!"

Either of these pieces of news alone was enough to be talked about for decades.

Now that they had happened simultaneously, the attention they garnered was naturally even more exaggerated.

At this moment, countless powerhouses were gathered on Canglan Star, their gazes fixed on the villa at the entrance to the Thunder World.

As soon as he appeared on Canglan Star, a silver-haired woman materialized before Jiang Ming.

The aura emanating from the silver-haired woman was terrifying. Jiang Ming's eyes couldn't help but slightly narrow when he saw her.

"God, my name is Qinia. I know you, and you are very good."

Qinia revealed a refreshing smile upon seeing Jiang Ming and his entourage appear.

The advanced aura of a Domain Lord level lifeform made people feel favorably disposed towards her as she released her goodwill.

"Lord Qinia."

Jiang Ming knew her identity the moment he saw her; he had a brief profile of Qinia in his possession.

"You are Marquis Flame Abyss's disciple, so there's no need to call me 'Lord.' Just call me Qinia," Qinia said to Jiang Ming.

"I must also thank you, Qinia. If you hadn't intercepted the powerhouses outside, I wouldn't have obtained this World within a World treasure so easily. This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Seeing Qinia say this, Jiang Ming went along with her. He now held a peculiar, semi-transparent stone box.

"This is a Life Fruit, which can help a heavily injured World Lord recover quickly."

Handing the stone box to Qinia, Jiang Ming spoke.

"I was merely fulfilling the Alliance regulations, and I didn't exert much effort."

Qinia glanced at the stone box and saw a greenish shadow within.

Being able to casually produce such a treasure indicated that the other party's gains were indeed substantial.

"Even so, I am truly indebted to you. If I didn't show any gratitude, I would feel a sense of debt, which would affect my cultivation."

Although Qinia was merely fulfilling the regulations of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, and she would have done so with or without Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming did feel that her actions had saved him a lot of trouble.

Jiang Ming's gifting her a Life Fruit stemmed from this feeling.

"Since you put it that way, I will accept it."

Hearing Jiang Ming say this, it would have been inappropriate not to accept. Moreover, a Life Fruit was a valuable treasure for her.

At this moment, Jiang Ming's smart optical computer received a message. Upon seeing the message, Jiang Ming said to Qinia, "My teacher is about to arrive. I must take my leave for now."

Hearing Jiang Ming's words, Qinia was somewhat shocked. She hadn't expected Marquis Flame Abyss to come in person.

"I'll escort you out."

Despite her shock, Qinia quickly regained her composure.

She then walked out of the villa with Jiang Ming. Luo Feng and the others following behind Jiang Ming also quickly caught up.

Jiang Ming had already instructed them earlier, so their reaction was swift.

Outside the villa.

Jiang Ming's image had already spread throughout the entire Black Dragon Mountain starfield. At this moment, there was no powerhouse on Canglan Star who hadn't seen Jiang Ming's image.

As Jiang Ming and Qinia appeared together, the numerous powerhouses made their moves.

"God, I am willing to exchange a hundred thousand life planets for the inheritance of Lord Kabu."

"I am Domain Lord Ming Luo of 'Three Axe Mountain,' I am willing to exchange..."

"God, I am from the 'Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land'..."

"I..."

A stream of Origin Power transmissions, telekinetic transmissions, and soul transmissions, each carrying a terrifying mental will, poured into Jiang Ming's ears.

Each of these terrifying wills was at least at the ninth stage of Universe level, and there were not a few Domain Lords among them.

The deluge of transmissions flooded Jiang Ming's ears, as if hundreds of powerhouses were simultaneously pressing down on him.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Ming stopped in his tracks, the golden fire burning intensely within him, his eyes turning crimson gold.

Cracks spread across the ground beneath his feet as the surface began to melt from the intense heat radiating from Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming's breathing grew heavy; the telepathic messages he was receiving exerted immense pressure on his will.

His crimson-gold gaze fixed forward, his eyes showing no hint of retreat.

"Ridiculous. If you have the guts, then come and take it directly."

As Jiang Ming spoke, no one responded, but the telepathic messages in his ears continued, their willpower growing even heavier.

It was like a raging sea roaring, constantly crashing against Jiang Ming's mind.

Take it?

Some of these people knew the situation and understood Jiang Ming's backing. Others, though they didn't know the specifics, could guess from Jiang Ming's actions and the reactions of other factions.

They certainly wouldn't dare to try and take it by force.

But not daring to take it by force didn't mean they couldn't trade for it. If Jiang Ming were to 'willingly' trade with them, even Marquis Flame Abyss wouldn't say anything.

A backer isn't a nanny; they can't be bothered with every little thing.

"A joke. You think this can force my hand?"

The flames in Jiang Ming's eyes burned even more fiercely. He took a step forward, his will like a lone boat sailing against a roaring, angry sea.

The fire in his eyes blazed, Jiang Ming's gaze as bright as the sun, as radiant as the midday sun.

His sun-like will rippled outwards, and Jiang Ming began to push back against the raging sea.

Sensing Jiang Ming's will, some people paused their actions, while others continued to send telepathic messages.

They naturally knew that geniuses like Gods wouldn't be easily subdued, but even with a sliver of hope, they were willing to try.

In the entire Black Dragon Mountain star domain, with its hundreds of star systems, there were only sixteen families, founded by World Lord powerhouses.

Each World Lord was a top figure in the Black Dragon Mountain star domain, and a complete World Lord's treasure lay before them.

Even if the hope was slim, they were willing to try.

If the treasure were to be scattered, even if they knew Jiang Ming would get the largest share, there would be almost no one who would dare to target him.

But Jiang Ming held the complete treasure; how could this not drive them mad?

Jiang Ming's will was already strong, but compared to these thousands of powerhouses, it was still insufficient.

Yet, no matter how the raging sea impacted him, that brilliant sun remained dazzling and radiant, steadily emitting its light.

Not only that, but Jiang Ming's footsteps advanced step by step, crushing the ground beneath him into further cracks.

"Is this all you've got? If this is all, then it's quite disappointing."

Jiang Ming's tone was indifferent, without any fluctuation, yet it was heard by all the powerhouses present.

His words seemed to enrage the raging sea, its sky-obscuring waters recoiling towards the heavens, attempting to extinguish that midday sun.

A mental pressure ten times greater than before assailed him, causing Jiang Ming's will to continuously weaken.
