Spatial cracks were faintly appearing and disappearing at the blade's edge, its power far exceeding that of the previous one!
"Three thousand times! A fantastic start!"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up. He reached out and grasped the 'Sky-Splitting' battle blade, feeling the immense power contained within it, and was overjoyed.
The top-tier treasured battle blade is far more valuable than a high-grade treasured weapon; this is a huge profit!
Moreover, this battle sword is a top-tier treasure.
He suppressed his excitement and threw the second treasure—the high-grade treasure armor that he had exchanged for 59 treasure points—into the spatial vortex as well.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your sacrifice has been successful!]
[Sacrifice a high-grade treasure armor (superior quality) to trigger an 800x return!]
[Obtained the top-tier treasure armor – 'Mystic Scale Armor'!]
A suit of armor, entirely covered in dark black scales with a shimmering, water-like sheen, emerged, exuding an aura of indestructibility and weight.
Although the return multiplier is not as high as that of the battle sword, the value of the top-tier treasure armor is equally enormous, especially its ability to protect one's life!
"Good! Two top-tier treasures!"
Lu Ming took a deep breath and his gaze fell on the last treasure, the one he had placed his hopes on, the ordinary palace-type treasure that cost a full 80 treasure points!
Palace-type treasures are among the most precious and difficult to obtain of all treasures! Even a common-level palace-type treasure is far more valuable than other treasures of the same tier!
"Success or failure depends on this!"
Lu Ming solemnly threw the seemingly small and exquisite palace treasure, which actually contained profound secrets, into the spatial vortex.
The vortex swallowed the palace's treasures, and everything seemed to freeze for a moment.
Immediately afterwards——
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your sacrifice has been successful!]
[Sacrifice a common palace-type treasure (of the highest quality) to trigger a 10,000x return!]
Ten thousand times!
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat!
[Obtained the ultimate palace-type treasure—'Nine Dragons Palace'!]
boom!
An aura far more powerful and vast than the previous two top-tier treasures suddenly descended!
A magnificent palace, entirely dark gold in color and with a ferocious shape resembling a coiled dragon, slowly emerged from the vortex!
Nine illusory dragons roamed and roared on the surface of the palace, exuding a terrifying power that suppressed time and space and was impervious to all laws!
A supreme treasure of the highest palace category! And it's of the top-grade quality!
Holy crap, I got the money!
"Haha! Hahaha!"
Even with Lu Ming's current state of mind, he couldn't help but burst into laughter!
A supreme, top-tier palace-type treasure!
With this 'Nine Dragons Palace', unless the strongest being in the universe personally takes action, no!
The pinnacle of palace-type treasures is only slightly inferior to the most powerful treasures.
Three sacrificial items, two top-tier attack and defense treasures, and one peak palace treasure!
This time, he won the gamble! And he made a fortune!
At this point, Lu Ming's equipment was completely upgraded, and his combat power increased by more than tenfold!
Holding the 'Nine Dragons Palace' that exuded an aura of suppression, Lu Ming smiled so broadly he could hardly stop, and it took him a long time to calm down.
He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to refine the three newly acquired treasures one by one.
First and foremost is the top-tier treasured battle blade, 'Sky Rift'.
Divine power permeated the blade, gradually illuminating and mastering the complex patterns within it.
Soon, Lu Ming understood the three layers of secret patterns on the 'Sky-Splitting' Blade, which corresponded to three powerful secret techniques.
"The first secret rune—'Void Breaker'! It requires the divine power of a Universe Venerable to activate. With a single strike, it contains the true meaning of space cutting, which can easily tear apart the universe and annihilate the divine bodies of ordinary Universe Venerables."
"The second secret rune—'Boundary Severing'! It requires the divine power of a high-level cosmic venerable to activate. Its power increases dramatically. Wherever the blade passes, it seems to be able to sever a boundary of space and time. Its power is vast and enough to threaten the top cosmic overlords."
"The third secret rune—'Star Burial'! It requires the power of a top-tier cosmic overlord to be fully unleashed. It is the ultimate killing move of the 'Sky Rift' Blade. With a single strike, it contains the complete mysteries of spatial laws, seemingly capable of burying endless stars!"
Feeling the terrifying power contained within the 'Sky-Splitting' blade, Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction.
With this battle sword, his attack power will experience a qualitative leap!
His gaze fell upon the most precious 'Nine Dragons Palace'.
The process of refining this supreme palace-type treasure was far more complex and lengthy than that of the previous battle blade.
But when Lu Ming's divine power finally fully penetrated his core and he mastered all the secret runes, he was once again deeply shocked.
The functions of this 'Nine Dragons Palace' far exceeded his expectations!
It is not only the most advanced flying palace, possessing incredible flight speed and the ability to withstand various dangerous environments, but also has a powerful ability to suppress and seal!
"The sealing technique—'Nine Dragons Devouring the Heavens'! Once activated, the nine illusory dragons can materialize, sealing off space and time to form an absolute confinement domain, from which escape is impossible without special means!"
"Moreover, the materials and secret patterns of this 'Nine Dragons Palace' have reached the peak and top-grade level. Its sturdiness is enough to withstand the fierce attacks of the Lord of the Universe or even the strongest being in the universe without any damage!"
Lu Ming finally turned his gaze to the top-tier treasure armor, the 'Mysterious Scale Armor'.
Divine power slowly seeped into it, beginning to refine this life-saving treasure.
Unlike the 'Sky-Splitting' Blade and the 'Nine Dragons' Palace', the 'Mysterious Scale Armor' has a rather unique way of being activated. It does not rely entirely on the comprehension of laws, but focuses more on the strength of the divine body. This is similar to the legendary 'Calamity Armor'.
Soon, Lu Ming fully grasped the secrets of the 'Mysterious Scale Armor,' which also has three forms:
"First Form - 'Scale Guardian'! It requires 1 million times the power of a World Lord to activate. Once activated, it can reduce the amount of material attacks it can withstand to one-thousandth! And the amount of soul attacks it can withstand to one-tenth!"
"The second form—'Mystic Crystal Wall'! It requires 1000 billion times the power of a World Lord to activate. Once activated, the weakening effect on material attacks reaches an astonishing one ten-thousandth! Soul attacks are still weakened by one-tenth!"
"The third form—'Return to Nothingness'! It requires 100 trillion times the power of a World Lord to activate. This is the ultimate form of the 'Mysterious Scale Armor'. Once activated, it can weaken material attacks to a terrifying one hundred thousandth! The weakening effect on soul attacks remains unchanged at one-tenth!"
Feeling the incredible power of the three forms of the 'Mysterious Scale Armor', Lu Ming was deeply shocked.
The defensive effect of this 'Mysterious Scale Armor', especially its ability to weaken physical attacks, is simply monstrous!
Once he can activate the third form, with this armor, he can almost ignore the threat of most universe lords in terms of material attacks!
Unless the opponent possesses an offensive treasure of the highest and most powerful level!
For offense, there's 'Sky Rift'; for defense, there's 'Mysterious Scales'; and for movement, there's 'Nine Dragons Dawn Palace'!
With this, Lu Ming's last shortcoming in terms of treasures was completely made up, and his equipment can be described as extremely luxurious!
With his perfect genes, enormous divine body, and perfect spatial laws, Lu Ming is now armed to the teeth and truly possesses the formidable strength to roam the universe without fear!
After thoroughly refining and mastering the three newly acquired treasures, Lu Ming stood up, took a step, and left his divine kingdom, appearing in an unfamiliar cosmic starry sky.
Chapter 112 The Venerable Burning Sky Appears
He stretched his muscles, which had become slightly stiff from his long period of seclusion, and his neck made a crisp "crack" sound. A lazy yet somewhat dangerous smile appeared on his face.
"Uh-huh——"
"Breaking through to the Venerable Realm is truly a cause for celebration."
He murmured softly, but his eyes gradually sharpened.
"Hehe, it's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone. Such a happy thing should be shared with my alien friends who have been 'thinking about' me."
His divine sense instantly connected to the virtual universe network and began rapidly filtering information.
"Hmm...where should I choose?"
"We need to find a secret place in the universe... outside of human territory."
Lu Ming stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"If it were on their own turf, those guys would probably be too scared to show their faces, which would be no fun."
"It also needs to have some 'popularity' and can't be too remote."
He continued the selection process.
"If there aren't many powerful alien races around, wouldn't it be a wasted trip for me if I went there? Nobody would even know that I, Grandpa Lu, have arrived."
His gaze swept quickly across the vast amount of information about secret realms provided by the virtual universe, and finally locked onto a secret realm called Shadowy.
"Shadowy Realm... Located at the border of the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Demon Clan's territory, it's a no-man's-land, a melting pot of all sorts of people, with many adventurers and powerful figures from various races, so news travels fast... Excellent, this is it!"
Having selected his target, a glint of excitement flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
After selecting his target, Lu Ming didn't foolishly fly there himself.
The distance from his current location to the Shadow Realm is terrifyingly far. Even traveling at full speed in the 'Nine Dragons Palace' would take a considerable amount of time.
"Fly directly there? That's too slow; by then, the opportunity will be lost."
Lu Ming curled his lip and immediately issued a temporary hiring task through a specific channel in the virtual universe.
We need a King-level Immortal with the Divine Kingdom coordinates near the "Shadowdome" to provide one Divine Kingdom teleportation service.
Such missions are common in the virtual universe, especially for powerful individuals who need to quickly reach distant star regions. Paying a fee to borrow the coordinates of another person's divine kingdom for teleportation is the most convenient method.
With Lu Ming's current authority and title as "Burning Void Venerable," the mission was accepted almost instantly after it was issued.
The mission was taken by a King-level Immortal affiliated with the Virtual Universe Company, named "Flame Eye King".
When he saw that the employer was the infamous "Burning Sky King," who was capable of killing even the most powerful beings in the universe, he became extremely respectful.
"Lord Fenkong, it is my honor to serve you!"
"Flame Eye King said respectfully in the virtual universe."
"My divine realm's coordinates are less than a thousand light-years from the entrance to the Shaddoll Realm; I can reach it by teleporting."
"very good."
