as soon as their Five Aggregates stir, you can harness that momentum to unleash the Five Aggregate Divine Thunder and damage their spiritual core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if external demonic influences or other spirit-related star arts infiltrate, this technique can obliterate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A secret spiritual combat art that can both kill enemies and protect oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its power is extremely strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it has drawbacks, especially when used for defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When defending oneself, the Five Aggregate Divine Thunder is triggered within one’s Dao Embryo or Nascent Soul—before harming the enemy, it harms oneself first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the risk Master Fenghua Emperor Jun spoke of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not know the strength of Xu Jin’s heart demon tribulation; if Xu Jin cultivates this art, he can handle the tribulation easily, but afterward, his Dao Embryo or Nascent Soul will be injured, possibly severely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to ordinary spiritual defense methods that only defend and never attack, the Five Aggregate Divine Thunder is far superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, cultivating this Five Aggregate Divine Thunder is extremely difficult!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of Xu Jin’s senior brothers have succeeded in mastering it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this is also because they have no urgent need for this technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the many thunder-based rules and arts, several are specifically designed to counter Dao Embryos and Nascent Souls, with extraordinarily potent power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Extermination Divine Thunder that Xu Jin learned from the Heavenly Punishment True Person falls into this category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To some extent, its power overlaps with that of the Five Aggregate Divine Thunder, so his senior brothers never took it seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because human energy and time are limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this, there is another major reason why his senior brothers failed to master it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, if one has the Grand Void Questioning Platform to assist, cultivation becomes relatively easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Grand Void Questioning Platform, cultivation is exceedingly, exceedingly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fundamental reason is that cultivation consumes vast amounts of the Seven Emotions’ power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by using the power of the Seven Emotions and Five Aggregates as the catalyst, with yin thunder as auxiliary, can one successfully cultivate the Five Aggregate Divine Thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also why Master Fenghua Emperor Jun passed on the Five Aggregate Divine Thunder to Xu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jin’er, this is part of the Seven Emotions’ power I’ve prepared for you; combined with the Seven Emotions’ power you’ve already accumulated in your Grand Void Questioning Platform, you should be able to rapidly master the Five Aggregate Divine Thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after mastering it, the power of your Grand Void Questioning Platform may drop drastically, requiring a large amount of Seven Emotions’ power to restore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Jin studied, Master Fenghua Emperor Jun continuously guided him through the difficulties, clarifying doubts and resolving confusion, allowing Xu Jin to fully comprehend it in short order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Master Fenghua Emperor Jun gifted him two thousand units each of Seven Emotions’ power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin accepted the gift generously and bowed, “Master, as long as I can overcome the heart demon tribulation, I am on the verge of becoming a True Person; if the Grand Void Questioning Platform’s power drops, so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll just have to slowly gather more Seven Emotions’ power later when I have time to restore its power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Master Fenghua Emperor Jun suddenly laughed, “Jin’er, it seems there’s something you still don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, Master, enlighten me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jin’er, do you know what the greatest difference is between my Thousand Star Alliance and the regions of Tongxuan, Hongluan, and Qingyu?” Master Fenghua Emperor Jun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The greatest difference?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few breaths of thought, Xu Jin replied, “Master, is it relative freedom, complex origins of personnel, or ‘more work, more reward’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By “more work, more reward,” Xu Jin meant that many benefits in the Thousand Star War Zone have clear standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as you meet the requirements, you can claim them directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, an Emperor-level cultivator can directly carve out a Star Island; as soon as you meet the criteria, you can instantly summon a Star Ruin into the Star River, transforming it into a Star River star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it’s a small, medium, or large world, you may choose freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin believed this might be the Thousand Star War Zone’s greatest feature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“None of the above.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Fenghua Emperor Jun shook his head, “Jin’er, you’ve simply spent too little time in the Thousand Star War Zone. Stay longer, and you’ll understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest feature of the Thousand Star War Zone—or my Thousand Star Alliance—is that wealth can reach the divine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wealth can reach the divine?” Xu Jin was puzzled—this was truly unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You probably haven’t thoroughly studied the functions of your Thousand Star Token, have you? It has a bounty posting feature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With your token’s rank, you can directly post tasks on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as you offer sufficient rewards, others will gladly gather Seven Emotions’ power for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you have time, study this—it’s an excellent way to save time,” Master Fenghua Emperor Jun said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin was stunned, as if suddenly awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was precisely “wealth can reach the divine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, “wealth can reach the divine” requires possessing sufficient wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xu Jin, right now, was not lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sank his spiritual sense into the Thousand Star Token and glanced at the bounty task interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once clicked into it while in Kunling Domain, but saw nothing then and paid no attention.\u003C\u002Fp>",956,"2026-06-19T23:56:35.933Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2478f747aeacc8bdb0b0fc7578f4f3af05f38886c9804ade41a3112493a98089","the-star-martial-era-chapter-986","the-star-martial-era-chapter-984",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-star-martial-era-cover.jpg"]
