The Spirit Bomb was the perfect technique for overcoming a stronger opponent with weaker force.

So after materializing the first four levels of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map, Jiang Luo immediately materialized the Spirit Bomb as well.

He had experimented with it when he was still a child, before he became a martial artist.

Perhaps because the civilization's supreme god, Emperor Luo, had been worshipped for thousands of years, Jiang Luo had been born able to achieve unity between heaven and man. He was even somewhat like a Gaia Consciousness belonging to Luo Planet.

That was why gathering the life force of every living thing on Luo Planet to form a Spirit Bomb was also very easy for him.

However, gathering a Spirit Bomb placed an immense burden on the body.

The stronger the body, the more powerful a Spirit Bomb it could gather.

"With my physical strength now comparable to Star Level, I should be able to withstand a Universe Level Spirit Bomb... The only question is whether Luo Planet can provide enough life force."

Feeling the Spirit Bomb grow larger and larger in diameter, Jiang Luo smiled. "Looks like it can."

Luo Planet was a little larger than Earth, and its oceans covered more area.

Its land was home to over ten billion people. Add all the other life-forms on land and in the ocean, as well as nonliving things, and the Spirit Bomb's upper limit was quite high.

The Spirit Bomb's power had already reached Universe Level 5 or 6, and it was still growing.

Figo and the other Star Level fighters watched the people fleeing in panic through the vast city below, savoring the sight.

"Well? Have you made up your mind? My patience is limited." Figo smiled at the Alliance Speaker, who was bound in midair by Spiritual Force.

Though he was only War God Level, the Alliance Speaker was so terrified that sweat covered his head. He was just about to speak when his gaze suddenly froze, and he stared blankly at the sky.

The people below in Luo Capital also raised their heads one after another.

"You—" Figo froze.

"C-Captain..." the other team members cried out one after another.

Figo looked up at the sky and stared in shock. There were actually two suns overhead!

No.

The smaller one was the real sun.

The larger one seemed to be hanging right above their heads.

None of their detection devices had picked up the existence of this "sun."

Thousands of miles away, Jiang Luo's gaze sharpened. "Fall!"

The "sun" came crashing down!

"Run!!"

More than twenty Star Level powerhouses scattered in all directions, transforming into streaks of light.

But the "sun" split into twenty-six smaller suns at the same time, each pursuing a target.

Once a Spirit Bomb locked onto someone's soul aura, it was very difficult to escape.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty Star Level fighters were annihilated one by one.

The Spirit Bomb Jiang Luo had gathered had at least Universe Level 8 power. Annihilating a group of Star Level fighters was effortless.

"Phew..." Jiang Luo almost couldn't keep himself aloft. His body felt as if it had fallen apart.

Only after releasing his dual water and fire Domains did he manage to steady himself. He transformed into a streak of light and flew toward Luo Capital.

The main drawback of the Spirit Bomb was the immense strain it placed on the body. It also took too long to charge.

It was difficult to use in battle.

The same went for the Special Beam Cannon. It also needed time to unleash its full power.

These two ultimate techniques were his strongest methods for now, but each had its own shortcomings.

Jiang Luo flew as he pondered.

What he lacked now was actually Combat Secret Techniques. Of course, Wu He had some secret techniques he could learn that didn't involve Flint Star Sector Lord's Core Inheritance.

"Master Jiang!" The Alliance Speaker and the other council members stared in astonishment as Jiang Luo descended from the sky.

They immediately understood what had happened.

"Those aliens just now..." One council member looked overcome with emotion.

Jiang Luo nodded and said calmly, "I took care of them all. But Luo Planet has been exposed, so the crisis isn't over. I'll hold a meeting shortly to explain the situation to you."

Wu He, hidden inside the space of Jiang Luo's wristband, had recovered from his shock. He didn't ask where Jiang Luo had learned that move, but instead sent a telepathic message:

"They're an exploration team from Obsidian Company. Obsidian Company is one of the seventeen top forces in the Huanming Star Sector. They've always acted tyrannically and won't let this go easily!"

Jiang Luo was taken aback. "Seventeen top forces?"

Wu He explained, "Besides Marquis Huanming, the lord of the Huanming Star Sector, there are many private forces. Seventeen of them are the strongest.

"Every one of these seventeen forces has an Immortal God backing it.

"Obsidian Company mainly trades in slaves. It's backed by the three great Immortal families of Ofalan, Selensis, and Zilate, and has four Immortal Gods alone."

Jiang Luo was stunned.

Obsidian Company alone had four Immortal Gods?

And it was only one of the seventeen top forces.

Were there really so many powerful people in the Huanming Star Sector?

Sensing Jiang Luo's surprise, Wu He said proudly, "Our Gulun Universe Kingdom is one of the oldest Cosmic Humans' Universe Countries. It occupies the most prosperous star regions in Human Territory.

"In terms of age, only Yuanchen Universe Kingdom can compare to us.

"And the Huanming Star Sector is located in the heart of the Universe Country. It's the direct territory of Marquis Huanming, a descendant of the king. It's nothing like those peripheral, subordinate mid-level Universe Countries.

"Besides, many of the ancient Immortal Gods in the Huanming Star Sector have moved to live in the Gulun Secret Realm, or have been requisitioned by the Giant Axe Arena. Otherwise, there would be far more Immortal Gods in the Huanming Star Sector than this."

Jiang Luo could hear in Wu He's voice a hint of pride in being a citizen of the Gulun Universe Kingdom and a subject of Marquis Huanming's territory.

But if Wu He was right, then such pride was only natural for someone from one of humanity's oldest Universe Countries.

"From the way you're talking, I take it you have a way to deal with Obsidian Company?" Jiang Luo ventured.

Wu He smiled. "I do. The first option is to take your family and leave Luo Planet by spaceship.

"My spaceship was badly damaged before. I've spent thousands of years on repairs and still haven't finished, but some of the twenty-odd Star Level fighters you killed must have had spaceships.

"Of course, I don't mean the standard spaceships issued by Obsidian Company. Those are all equipped with tracking capabilities. I mean the personal spaceships owned by those Star Level fighters. They might only be Class B at most, but that would be enough.

"However, I doubt you'd be willing to abandon Luo Planet. You could escape, but your fellow countrymen would still be doomed to become slaves.

"Once someone becomes a slave of Obsidian Company, they're basically never free again—unless they have the strength and status of a master."

Then you've misjudged me, Jiang Luo thought. If it really comes down to it, I can abandon Luo Planet. As long as I'm alive, I can avenge them.

Wu He continued, "The second option is to join a top force as a Core Member, then register Luo Planet under your name as your territory.

"Even Obsidian Company would have to think twice before acting then. Unless there were a major interest at stake, they wouldn't casually provoke a Core Member of another top force.

"With your talent—Planetary Level and a dual Domain—any top force would readily accept you."

Jiang Luo asked, "Which force do you want me to join?"

Wu He smiled. "I don't recommend joining any top force. I want you to enter the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall!"
