Talent Was Only Ever the Lower Limit!

Before coming to Thunder World, Jiang Ming had considered whom to ask to back him up. Without any backing, it would have been impossible for him to take the treasure in public.

Man Luo and Marquis Flame Abyss had both been good choices. After some thought, Jiang Ming still leaned toward asking Marquis Flame Abyss.

Judging from Marquis Flame Abyss's past experiences and Jiang Ming's interactions with her, as her student, the talent and comprehension he had displayed would naturally earn her regard.

However, Jiang Ming had not expected Marquis Flame Abyss to come in person. Even if she said it was because she feared Jiang Ming would cause too great a commotion and be harmed.

But Marquis Flame Abyss was not alone. She had several Realm Lords under her command, and sending any one of them would have been enough.

So, when Jiang Ming learned that Marquis Flame Abyss intended to come personally, he had already anticipated that her arrival would cause no small stir.

Now that he saw it, that was indeed the case.

There were tens of thousands of Universe level and Domain Lord level experts present, with connections to nearly every force within the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain.

Even though Marquis Flame Abyss was an Immortal Expert, she would not normally do something like this.

After all, there were far more than one or two Immortal Experts in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain.

At this moment, Qinia also flew forward and bowed to Marquis Flame Abyss.

"Greetings, Marquis Flame Abyss."

Marquis Flame Abyss gave Qinia a slight nod in return.

After Luo Feng and the others emerged from Thunder World, they had remained behind Jiang Ming.

They had merely watched the entire time.

When Jiang Ming had been oppressed by the wills of those Experts, they had all felt anger and helplessness.

There had even been a trace of despair.

Tens of thousands of Universe level and Domain Lord level experts?

Such power could dominate dozens, even hundreds, of star systems, yet they had gathered here on Canglan Star.

Facing such pressure was simply too despairing.

"Teacher's will."

When Jiang Ming struck back, Luo Feng had also sensed that blazing, sunlike will of his.

When Jiang Ming's will spread outward, Luo Feng and the others behind him had also been affected.

Faced with the oppressive force of Jiang Ming's will, Luo Feng had struggled greatly to resist it. Yet he noticed that Hong and Thor both appeared quite relaxed.

It was as though he alone had been affected by Jiang Ming's will.

Before Luo Feng could figure out the reason, he saw Marquis Flame Abyss descend.

"Burn them to death! Yes, yes, yes! That was absolutely the right thing to do!"

Babata's voice rang out in Luo Feng's consciousness.

"Was Teacher Hu Yanbo like this back then too?"

Seeing Marquis Flame Abyss step in to help Jiang Ming reclaim his dignity, Luo Feng thought of Hu Yanbo.

Babata had once said that when Hu Yanbo was alive, anyone he disliked would die—even a Realm Lord.

"Of course. Back then, Master had nine Immortal servants under him. Naturally, he could be even more overbearing than Marquis Flame Abyss."

Babata's proud voice entered Luo Feng's consciousness.

"Teacher, I'll say goodbye to my clansmen."

As they were about to depart, Jiang Ming said to Marquis Flame Abyss.

"Mm."

Marquis Flame Abyss nodded, then flew back into the spacecraft.

Seeing Marquis Flame Abyss leave, Jiang Ming said to Qinia beside him.

"These clansmen of mine helped me excavate the treasure in the World within a World. The treasure is now entirely in my hands, but there will probably be some people who remain unwilling to give up and turn their attention to my clansmen. Could you help look after them, Qinia?"

Hearing Jiang Ming's request, Qinia agreed without hesitation.

"Alright. I'll keep an eye on them."

Looking after a few Stellar level youngsters was no difficult task for her. Besides, since Jiang Ming had personally asked, it showed that these clansmen meant a great deal to him.

Given how highly Marquis Flame Abyss regarded him, Jiang Ming's future achievements were impossible to predict. Since he had made a request, Qinia would not refuse unless her brain had gone bad.

"Thank you."

After saying that, Jiang Ming headed downward and came to Luo Feng and the others.

"I'm going to Flame Abyss Star. Earth will be in your care. This is Domain Lord Qinia's Virtual Universe signal. Remember it..."

Jiang Ming did not speak much with Luo Feng and the others before leaving.

Seeing the red bird-shaped spacecraft depart, everyone on Canglan Star let out a sigh of relief.

"We should go too."

Hong spoke.

After saying that, the group headed toward the port, boarded their spacecraft, and departed.

At this moment, countless Experts throughout Canglan Star were doing the same as Luo Feng and the others. So many Experts had died on Canglan Star, and the inheritances left behind by those dead Experts would very likely stir up new turmoil.

In the foreseeable future, Canglan Star would certainly become a place where storms converged.

However, none of that had anything to do with Luo Feng and the others anymore.

The interior of Marquis Flame Abyss's spacecraft was enormous. Guided by the spacecraft's intelligent program, Jiang Ming soon arrived at his room aboard the ship.

Jiang Ming sat on the floor of the room, his eyes closed as he contemplated.

After his comprehension of the Stellar Body reached the Third Level, quite a few changes had appeared.

Jiang Ming needed to sort through and organize them one by one.

This process took half a month. Only then did Jiang Ming become familiar with all the changes in his Stellar Body.

Solar System, at the heart of the sun.

Pure White Fire rose around Jiang Ming, the God of Fire, continuously burning stellar matter and transforming countless amounts of it into Pure White Fire.

Empowered by the endless Pure White Fire, Jiang Ming, the God of Fire, felt as though he possessed inexhaustible strength.

"Unbelievable. In the third form of the Stellar Body, given enough time, I could even burn an entire star to destruction and turn it all into my Pure White Fire."

The third form of the Stellar Body: I Am the Star!

How terrifying was the energy contained within a star?

Even Immortal Experts found it difficult to control it all. If someone could completely command the energy of an entire star, they would be a king-level existence even among Immortals.

Naturally, the third form of the Stellar Body could not allow Jiang Ming to control such vast energy.

If Jiang Ming's will even approached such immense energy, it would be incinerated.

However, after his will transformed into a pure white star, Jiang Ming could now easily control energy at the Domain Lord level.

This was absolutely beyond all reason.

Yet it was truly happening to Jiang Ming.

"Looking at it this way, even if my talent is only at the Domain Lord level, my upper limit is not necessarily Domain Lord level."

Jiang Ming thought to himself.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ming understood. Talent was only ever the lower limit, never the upper limit.

Take the Kinkaku Beast, for example. A normal adult was a Realm Lord, but most would remain stuck at the Realm Lord stage for life, with no hope of becoming Immortal.

Yet now, the strongest among the Kinkaku Beasts had already reached the level of a Universe Master.

Even with the same talent, the results produced in different hands would be different.

Take Luo Feng, for instance. Could he not be considered a Kinkaku Beast?

"With the body of my Fire God clone, I can easily wield energy at the Domain Lord level.

Using my human body would not be much more difficult, only requiring a longer period to build up power.

After all, when I use the Stellar Body with my human clone, the Initial Fire generated within me is far too little.

However, as long as I have enough time to build up power and convert enough Pure White Fire, even with an ordinary ninth-rank Stellar level body, I can still reach the upper limit of the energy my will can control."
