After dealing with the matter of the Demonic Beast Emperor, Zhang Junbao donated the Demonic Beast Emperor's corpse to the country, as a contribution to protecting human territory.
Since the release of " Black Dragon Ascending Heaven Steps," almost 90% of martial artists have bought it. The rest simply haven't saved enough money; for them, money on Earth is just a number.
The situation on Earth has come to a close. Since the Demonic Beast Emperor is dead, the major powers are organizing human armies to reclaim the territories occupied by the demons. As for Zhang Junbao, these decisions are left to the major powers to make, and he will not participate.
Without the intervention of these top-tier combatants, the battles between the major powers and the monsters remained largely balanced.
Because of the previous message, Hong and Thunder God also came out of seclusion. After all, the situation on Earth had changed drastically, and it was impossible for them to continue their seclusion.
"Well done! I didn't expect that the two Beast Emperor we couldn't deal with for so long would be eliminated by you in the blink of an eye. You truly deserve to be called the senior brother!" Thunder God said with a grin, stroking his bald head.
Thunder God and Hong lived a very comfortable life during this period. After mastering the Universal Language, they were able to comprehend the secrets provided by Babata on their own.
For these two powerful individuals who already stood at the pinnacle of Earth's combat strength, this was undoubtedly what they desired most at this moment.
The relentless seclusion and cultivation, coupled with the Wood Bud Crystal provided by Zhang Junbao, allowed Hong and Thunder God's strength to rapidly increase.
Thunder God has broken through to the Planetary Level Nine and is seeking to break through to become Star Level powerhouse, while Hong has also reached the Planetary Level Eight. It can be said that Zhang Junbao's arrival has greatly increased the speed of their cultivation.
Zhang Junbao's cultivation level also reached the Planetary Level Six. Accumulating simple energy at the Planetary Level was not difficult for him. Even Luo Feng rapidly increased his strength after recovering his body. Perhaps it was because he had devoured the Wood Bud Crystal that his cultivation speed increased significantly, and his cultivation level had reached the Planetary Level Four.
After Luo Feng entered the Planetary Level, he gained the approval of Hong and Thunder God due to his previous crazy actions in battle. With Zhang Junbao's recommendation, he finally officially joined the Yunmo Star Lineage.
" Luo Feng, I thought Brother Hong and I were crazy enough, but I didn't expect you to be even crazier than us. Don't worry, we're all brothers from now on, so if anything happens, your third brother will stand up for you." Thunder God put his arm around Luo Feng and said with a smile.
"Aren't you the Little Third? You're even calling me 'Third Brother' now!" Hong teased Thor when he saw his Thunder God.
"Hey Brother Hong, before Luo Feng came, you guys were already calling me 'Little Third, Little Third.' You'd think I stole someone's wife!"
"Now that Luo Feng is here, and we have a junior brother, I'm now the third senior brother. Little Fourth, come here, call me third senior brother and let me hear it," Thunder God said proudly.
"Forget it, Luo Feng is also Spirit Reader. He might catch up with you in strength soon. When that happens, you'll still be the Little Third senior brother, which will be embarrassing!" Zhang Junbao added.
"Damn it, you're all either Spirit Reader or have domains, and my senior brother is even more abnormal, he has both. It turns out I'm the only ordinary person. This is too hard for me."
No, I have to work hard quickly. Becoming Spirit Reader is impossible, but at least I can figure out my own field!
"It's one thing for my senior brother to be stronger than me, but what if Luo Feng becomes stronger than me in a while? Don't I have any pride?" Thunder God exclaimed.
Although Zhang Junbao's cultivation level is not as high as Hong and Thunder God's, he can easily defeat them in actual combat.
He had only lost to Zhang Junbao in the virtual Challenge Space before, but now he can't even beat him in reality.
After being repeatedly defeated, Thunder God finally accepted the title of "senior brother" wholeheartedly.
There was no other way; I was terrified of being beaten.
His Nine-Layered Thunder Blade was completely ineffective against Zhang Junbao's domain, its speed utterly suppressed. Furthermore, his preferred close-combat techniques, particularly those based on grappling, offered no advantage against Zhang Junbao, resulting in a complete and utter defeat.
"Senior Brother, what exactly is a domain? You and Brother Hong inherited the Huaxia martial arts and comprehended the domain. Logically speaking, I should have already reached the supreme 'unity of Unity of Heaven and Man ' in the ancient India yoga legend. I'm already at the Planetary Level Nine, so why can't I comprehend the domain?"
Thunder God was very puzzled. Although he had the highest cultivation level, he couldn't defeat either Zhang Junbao or Hong, which made Thunder God feel very frustrated.
" Little Leizi, you 'Planetary Level now, so it's normal that you can't comprehend a domain, okay? Junbao and Hong are simply outliers!"
"Do you think domains are standard for Planetary Level? Even most Universe Level powerhouses don't have domains, understand?" Babata couldn't help but chime in, seeing Thunder God still agonizing over the issue of domains.
Listening to their conversation, someone who didn't know better would think that Planetary Level who hasn't mastered a domain is useless!
When did domains become something that Planetary Level can manipulate at will?
"Isn't that right? Look at Hong, and then look at Senior Brother. Isn't the Domain level something that Planetary Level should be able to master?"
Thunder God looked at Babata with an innocent expression. Planetary Level master of a domain—isn't that expected? There are two right in front of him.
"Alright, Babata, although I haven't met any other powerful beings from the universe, Thunder God's situation has actually already crossed the threshold of that realm; it's just that he himself can't realize it."
Thunder God, as you should have learned from the inherited information, the so-called domain is actually a simplification of the Law.
The Universe Laws are the fundamental principles governing this world, and finding the Law that suit oneself begins with mastering one's domain.
Your " Nine-Layered Thunder Blade " combines speed and explosive power, and your special ability is lightning. Therefore, the suitable field for you should also be lightning-based.
Whether it's knife skills, sword skills, or combat techniques using other weapons, once they evolve to a certain point, they will all be combined with Law.
Some techniques are combined with fundamental Law, such as the explosiveness of fire-based sword techniques, the fierceness of metal-based sword techniques, and the Heaviness of earth-based techniques. Your lightning attribute represents speed and explosiveness. Some martial artists even combine sword techniques with the two great Law time and space, evolving sword techniques that can break through the air and alter the flow of time.
I think you should start with the Law. The knife is both the medium through which you unleash your power and the way you apply your Law Comprehension.
My field, for example, incorporates the true essence of Tai Chi Chuan, Tai Chi Chuan originally emphasized altering the relativity of space and time.
"Even if I use my domain, when you fight me hand-to-hand, don't you feel your power being constantly pulled by me?" Zhang Junbao explained.
"That's right. Every time I fight you, I feel like my hands and feet are bound. It's as if the power within me doesn't belong to me, but is instead used by you to attack myself," Thunder God said, recalling the experience.
"That's right, that's the characteristic of each field. You can only evolve a field by finding your own unique characteristics."
Think back carefully to the characteristics of lightning. It's not just about speed, but also about its ferocious Power of Destruction and even its punitive power.
Lightning, as the most explosive force in nature, is not easily bound by space.
"Speed, Destruction, even punishment? Nature's punitive power, its power to warn all living beings..."
Suddenly, Thunder God sat cross-legged, and wisps of lightning emanated from his body. This brought a hint of joy to Hong's face, a sign that his domain was forming. Thunder God's expression kept changing, sometimes calm, sometimes ferocious, sometimes serious, and the lightning around Thunder God body changed accordingly.
Zhang Junbao smiled. He knew that Thunder God had already touched the threshold of the domain, and as long as he continued to explore, he would soon master it.
In just a moment, the lightning around Thunder God quickly enveloped them, gradually spreading out and eventually evolving into Lightning Domain, with electric snakes flowing around.
Thunder God opened his eyes, lightning flashing within them, and a smile appeared on his lips, a smile as radiant as that of the legendary Buddha Vajra.
"Lightning is not just about speed, but also the discipline of the universe. Speed, ferocity, and punishment are merely its manifestations. So this is what lightning truly is! Senior Brother, I have learned a great deal!" The Thunder God stood up and slowly bowed to Zhang Junbao.
"Dominate... the domain!"
Zhang Junbao, Hong, and Thunder God Shen exchanged a smile.
Only Babata and Luo Feng remained, standing bewildered in the wind.
Babata suffered another humiliating defeat, having just reprimanded Thunder God for saying that not every Planetary Level being can possess a domain, and that only a very small number of Planetary Level can actually do so.
In the blink of an eye, Thunder God mastered the domain under Zhang Junbao's guidance, a blatant slap in the face to Babata!
Babata even suspected that Thunder God had already mastered the Domain, and was just trying to trick him into thinking that not everyone could master it, so he could come out and slap him in the face in public.
Luo Feng, standing to the side, was once again completely overwhelmed. Of the four people present, he was the only one without a domain. "Who said a domain isn't standard for Planetary Level?" Luo Feng looked at Babata, feeling that Babata was lying to him.
" Babata, are you sure you're not mistaken? Actually, a domain is an ability that Planetary Level being can master, right?" Luo Feng asked blankly.
His mastery of power was still at the stage of 'force', while Zhang Junbao and the other two had long since extended their power to the stage of 'Tao', which is the stage of Law.
Having mastered the domain, one can be considered to have officially begun to touch the threshold of the Law.
"Don't ask me anything, I don't know anything, I'm just a piece of trash!" Babata completely broke down.
If Hong's mastery of the domain was the result of long-term accumulation, and Zhang Junbao's mastery of the domain was due to his extremely high comprehension, then what about Thunder God?
Could it be that the world has become so crazy after I slept for fifty thousand years?
" Little Fourth Brother, you'd better work harder! Third Senior Brother has also mastered a domain. Indeed, having a domain means you can do whatever you want!"
Thunder God Domain opened, and his figure transformed into lightning, constantly traversing within it.
"Within this domain, my speed and explosive power have both increased by more than one level. Senior Brother, Brother Hong, let's go again! I have a domain now too! I'm going to take on two!"
Zhang Junbao and Hong exchanged a glance, seeing the same thought in each other's eyes.
Little Leizi, you're getting cocky!
Soon, the three domains collided, leaving Luo Feng and Babata trembling in fear, questioning their very existence.
A few minutes later...
"I'm not fighting anymore! You two are monsters! Even with my domain mastery, I'm still no match for you! This is outrageous!"
Thunder God's originally bald head was now covered in bumps, transforming him into a true "Buddha".
