After this battle, Jiang Feng gained a rough understanding of the limits of his own strength.

But with his current strength, he was still unable to do so.
The Fire Extreme Golden Body placed extremely high demands on flames. His Seven-Star Heartflame could only barely allow him to cultivate the first level.

Therefore, cultivating the second level of the Fire Extreme Golden Body was still impossible in the short term.
Of course, so long as he did not directly contend with a weapon like the Divine Mechanism Crossbow, the first level of his Fire
