The Spirit Bomb is the move best suited for the weak to overcome the strong.

Therefore, immediately after manifesting the first four layers of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map, Jiang Luo proceeded to manifest the Spirit Bomb.

He had experimented with this back when he was young, long before he had become a martial artist.

Perhaps it was because Emperor Luo, the supreme god of this planet's civilization, had been worshipped for thousands of years, but Jiang Luo was naturally capable of achieving the unity of heaven and man, even becoming something akin to a Gaia Consciousness for Luo Planet.

Thus, gathering the essence energy of all living things on Luo Planet into a Spirit Bomb was quite easy for him.

However, gathering a Spirit Bomb placed a massive burden on the physical body.

The stronger the physical body, the more powerful the Spirit Bomb it could condense.

With my current physical strength, which rivals the Stellar level, it should be enough to bear a Universe-level Spirit Bomb... The only question is whether Luo Planet can provide enough essence energy.

Jiang Luo felt the Spirit Bomb growing larger and larger in diameter and revealed a smile: "It seems there is no problem."

Luo Planet was slightly larger than Earth, and its ocean area was also greater.

The land held a population of over ten billion, and when combined with all other life and even non-living matter across the land and seas, the potential limit of the Spirit Bomb was quite high.

The power of the current Spirit Bomb had already reached the level of a fifth or sixth-stage Universe-level, and it was still increasing.

Figo and the other Stellar-level powerhouses watched with enjoyment as the crowds in the massive city below fled in a panic.

"How about it? Have you considered it? My patience is limited," Figo said, smiling at the Alliance Speaker, who was suspended in mid-air, bound by spiritual telekinesis.

The Alliance Speaker, who was only at the God of War level but was sweating profusely from sheer terror, was just about to speak when his gaze suddenly froze, staring blankly at the sky.

The crowds in Luo Capital below also began to look up at the sky one by one.

"You lot—" Figo paused.

"Cap... Captain..." The other team members also began to cry out in alarm.

Figo looked up at the sky, shocked to discover that there were two suns in the sky!

No.

The smaller one was the real sun.

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

None of their detection instruments had detected the existence of this 'sun'.

Miles away, Jiang Luo's gaze sharpened: "Fall!"

The 'sun' crashed down with a roar!

"Run!!"

More than twenty Stellar-level powerhouses transformed into streams of light and fled in all directions.

Yet that 'sun' split synchronously into twenty-six smaller suns, pursuing them relentlessly.

Once the soul signature was locked by the Spirit Bomb, it was difficult to escape.

In an instant, the twenty-plus Stellar-level powerhouses were annihilated one by one.

The Spirit Bomb Jiang Luo had condensed possessed at least the power of an eighth-stage Universe-level; wiping out a group of Stellar-level powerhouses was effortless.

"Hoo~~~" Jiang Luo nearly lost his ability to fly, feeling as if his body were falling apart.

Only after releasing his dual domains of water and fire did he manage to stabilize his form, transforming into a stream of light as he flew toward Luo Capital.

The Spirit Bomb technique placed a significant burden on the body, and its wind-up time was far too long.

It was difficult to use in the heat of battle.

The same was true for the Special Beam Cannon; it also required time to unleash such a powerful move.

These two ultimate techniques were his strongest means for now, but both had their own flaws.

Jiang Luo pondered as he flew.

What he lacked now were combat secret techniques; of course, Wu He had some techniques that did not involve the core inheritance of the Flint Star Sector Lord that he could learn.

"Master Jiang!" The Alliance Speaker and a group of council members looked on in surprise as Jiang Luo descended from the sky.

They immediately understood what had happened.

"Those aliens just now..." a council member said, his expression agitated.

Jiang Luo nodded and said calmly: "I have dealt with them, but Luo Planet has been exposed. The crisis is not yet over; I will hold a meeting shortly to explain the situation to you."

Wu He, who had been hiding in the bracelet space, had recovered from his shock. Without asking where Jiang Luo had learned that move, he transmitted his voice:

"They were an exploration team from the Obsidian Company. The Obsidian Company is one of the seventeen top factions in the Huanming Star Sector. They have always acted tyrannically and will absolutely not let this go easily!"

Jiang Luo was startled: "Seventeen top factions?"

Wu He explained: "Beyond the ruler, Marquis Huanming, there are many civilian factions in the Huanming Star Sector, seventeen of which are the strongest.

"Each of these seventeen factions has an Undying God as their backer.

"The Obsidian Company focuses primarily on the slave trade, and behind them stand three Undying families: Ofalan, Selensis, and Zilate. They have four Undying Gods supporting them alone."

Jiang Luo was stunned.

The Obsidian Company alone has four Immortal Spirits?

And that is just one of the seventeen top-tier factions.

Are there really so many powerhouses in the Huanming Star Sector?

Sensing Jiang Luo's astonishment, Wu He said proudly, "Our Gulun Universe Kingdom is one of the oldest in the human universe, occupying the most essential star sectors of our human territory."

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

"Furthermore, the Huanming Star Sector is located in the very heart of the Universe Kingdom. It is the direct fief of Marquis Huanming, a descendant of the Kingdom Lord, and cannot be compared to those peripheral, subordinate intermediate universe kingdoms."

"This is even with many ancient Immortals of the Huanming Star Sector having moved to the Gulun Secret Realm or having been conscripted by the Giant Axe Arena; otherwise, the number of Immortals in the Huanming Star Sector would be far greater than this."

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

However, if what Wu He said was true, it was only natural to have such arrogance as one of humanity's oldest universe kingdoms.

"Judging by your tone, you must have a way to deal with the Obsidian Company?" Jiang Luo probed.

Wu He smiled. "I do have a way. The first method is for you to take your loved ones and leave Luo Planet by spaceship immediately."

"My own ship was severely damaged, and I haven't fully repaired it even after several thousand years, but among the twenty-plus Star-level individuals you killed, there must be ships."

"Of course, I am not talking about the standard-issue ships of the Obsidian Company, as they have tracking capabilities for those, but rather the personal ships of those Star-level individuals. They might only be Grade B at best, but that is enough."

"However, I assume you are unwilling to abandon Luo Planet. You could escape, but your compatriots would not be able to avoid the fate of becoming slaves."

"Once they become slaves of the Obsidian Company, it is basically impossible for them to regain their freedom, unless you possess the strength and status of their master."

Jiang Luo thought to himself: You have misjudged me. If it truly comes to a last resort, abandoning a Luo Planet is a small price to pay. As long as I am alive, I can avenge them.

Wu He continued, "The second method is for you to join a top-tier faction, specifically as a core member, and then register Luo Planet under your name as your personal territory."

"At that point, even the Obsidian Company would have to show some restraint. Unless it involves significant interests, they would not easily come into conflict with the core members of other top-tier factions."

"With your talent as a Planet-level with a dual-domain, you could easily join any top-tier faction."

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

Wu He smiled. "I do not suggest you join any top-tier faction; I want you to enter the Gulun Sacred Hall!"
