Background / History

Jiang Ming rose on Earth with the Domain Lord-level talent Stellar Body. During his battle against the Demon Lizard King, he deliberately redirected the monster’s breath to destroy nuclear reactors, then absorbed the resulting radiation to advance to the Planetary level. He emerged from the subsequent nuclear explosion carrying the Demon Lizard King’s skull and became a figure recognized by Earth’s strongest powers 2 3.

After returning to the Elite Training Camp as a teacher, Jiang Ming selected six trainees to study the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. He favored Luo Feng’s potential, answered his cultivation questions, and became his teacher 9 10 13. He later left Earth for the wider universe, joined the Virtual Universe Company through Man Luo’s Black Dragon Mountain branch, and became Marquis Flame Abyss’s disciple 32 48.

His performance in the Cosmic Peak Genius Competition established him as an unprecedented human genius. He mastered the Blood War Secret Codex, cleared the seventh trial tower—the first human to do so—and drew the attention of the Chaos City Lord 63 70. In Chaos City, Jiang Ming rapidly passed the Dragon Walk Tongtian Bridge, was accepted as the Chaos City Lord’s disciple, and later cleared its 21st level 92 101 171.

Jiang Ming pursued further growth in Blood Luo World, where he fused Blood Luo Crystals, cultivated Space Laws, and concealed his presence even from powerful opponents 107 108 111. He later entered the Zerg battlefield under multiple identities, including the Zerg disguise “Blade Mantis King” and the human identity “Champion Marquis Zhao Yun” 174 187.

Following his Immortal breakthrough and major battlefield achievements, Jiang Ming’s influence expanded beyond personal combat. His Heart Fire Game World became a Human Race-wide willpower-tempering method, while his later elevation to Universe Master made him the seventeenth publicly recognized Human Race Universe Master 269 272 319.

Personality

Jiang Ming is pragmatic, strategic, and highly self-assured. He plans fights around his opponents’ weaknesses, such as using the Demon Lizard King’s own breath to create the radiation needed for his breakthrough 2. He is similarly cautious in larger matters, preparing detection robots and laser cannons before sending Luo Feng’s team into the World within a World 36.

He values talent and maintains a particular attachment to Earth and Huaxia. This informs his favorable treatment of Luo Feng and Chu Qiang, though he also gives Luo Feng direct, substantive cultivation guidance rather than empty praise 9 10 13.

His pursuit of strength can become detached and ruthless. At prison mining planets and slave worlds, he harvests despair and negative emotions to nourish Calamity Abyss without intervening in the suffering he witnesses 152. During his killing-focused cultivation in the Illusionary Realm Star River, he risks losing his human consciousness to a bestial urge for slaughter 219.

Despite this, Jiang Ming possesses exceptional mental stability. His state of mind is described as “ten thousand tribulations cannot break me, my heart remains unclouded,” and he uses his understanding to guide Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor along their separate paths 193.
