Chapter 1015: Universe Treasure
“Only 7th rank?”
Li Fuchen assumed that once the Primary Extreme Sword Technique was increased to the next rank, he would be able to make it into the top 5 ranks of the Lord Rankings.
It seemed like the top 10 ranks of the Lord Rankings weren’t as simple as it seemed. Each increase in rank was extremely difficult.
“But it is enough.”
There were individuals who had strong qi presences, but weaker strength. There were some who had strong qi presences, but even stronger strength.
Li Fuchen was definitely the latter.
There were rarely any unparalleled lords who were able to cultivate their martial arts to the late-state of star domain-level.
“I am already 10,000 years old but I don’t feel anything different.”
Li Fuchen thought he might be reminiscing on his past, but he was truly not feeling it right now.
10,000 years as compared to his lifespan was not even considered an instant.
…
The God Grace Star Domain was the God Hall’s headquarters.
At the center of the God Grace Star Domain, there was a layer of white clouds that didn’t have a horizon. The range of the white clouds extended by several hundred light years. Above the center of the clouds, there were towering palaces.
In one of the palaces, there was a long and pristine jade table. On the sides and at the ends of the table, there were a total of 18 seats.
The Ice Fire God Lord and the Dusk God Lord were seated on two of the seats.
Radiance descended and there was a translucent figure on one of the seats. It was a materialized figure emitting boundless radiance.
“Bright God Lord.” The Ice Fire God Lord and Dusk God Lord looked over.
“I am in the Feathering Ruin. What matters do the two of you have for me?”
The Feathering Ruin was an extremely terrifying ruin. The level of danger was beyond the Water God Tomb and such ruin normally wouldn’t allow for communication.
The Ice Fire God Lord explained about the incident with the Primary Extreme Lord in detail.
“Wait 1000 years for me. 1000 years later will be the day of his demise.” The Bright God Lord had an indifferent expression.
The Dusk God Lord asked, “Do we need to contact the god lords in the Half-God Domain?”
The Bright God Lord was very powerful, but Li Fuchen wasn’t such a pushover and couldn’t be killed so easily.
The Dusk God Lord didn’t believe that a 7th rank of the Lord Rankings could be killed just like that.
The Bright God Lord stayed silent for a moment before replying, “You can contact the Fire Virtue God Lord.”
In order to contact the god lords inside the Half-God Domain, a high price had to be paid. After all, it was already very difficult to send a message into peak-class ruins, let alone the Half-God Domain.
As compared to a low-grade universe treasure, such a price was worth it.
There were many varieties of universe treasures, apart from those that could be used to supplement cultivations, there were also defense and offense types that were extremely valuable. A low-grade defense or offense type universe treasure would be comparable to a tier 7 extreme-grade cardinal artifact. Furthermore, it would be the type of cardinal artifact that wouldn’t need to use up too much of the owner’s energy.
This energy-saving factor must not be underestimated. At places that couldn’t replenish energy, universe treasures that didn’t exhaust too much of one’s own energy could be used as a life-saving tool.
If one’s energy was nearly dried up but had a universe treasure, it could still be used as a powerful tool. As for enemies that could only use one’s own energy to fight, they would be exhausted to death.
Or perhaps, one could use the universe treasure’s energy in combat without using much of their own energy.
As for a mid-grade defense or offense universe treasure, its value would surpass any cardinal artifacts and would be almost as effective as a half-god equipment.
Li Fuchen’s Chaos Fire Lotus was actually a multi-function universe treasure. It could be used to complement fire dao cultivation and also be used for attacking enemies. If Li Fuchen was a fire dao cultivator, he could even extract the chaos fire dao source. That way, even if he was in a place with a scarce universe source, he would still be able to rapidly replenish his energy and wouldn’t have to worry about energy consumption.
Finally, the high-grade universe treasures were extremely valuable. It was already comparable with regular half-god equipment.
Universe Spirit Sphere, World Fruit, Plane Core, Tree of Life… These items were all high-grade universe treasure.
Li Fuchen’s World Fruit was definitely a universe treasure, but it was just a fruit produced from the World Tree. As compared to the World Tree, it was basically nothing.
It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that if anyone could find a high-grade universe treasure, it wouldn’t be too difficult to become a half-god. With the high-grade universe treasure, one’s strength would be comparable to a regular half-god. Therefore, the chances of finding a half-god equipment in the Battlefield of God was rather high.
In fact, the reason why half-god equipment was valuable was its ability to cleanse the possessor’s body. It allowed the owner’s energy to transform into half-god energy and when using half-god energy to wield the half-god equipment, one’s strength would naturally reach a whole different level. Without the cleansing function, half-god equipment would only be on par with mid-grade universe treasures.
“Fire Virtue God Lord?”
The Dusk God Lord had heard of the Fire Virtue God Lord’s great name. Before he was a lord, the Fire Virtue God Lord was already a god race’s god lord and by the time the Dusk God Lord became a lord, the Fire Virtue God Lord had advanced into the Half-God Domain. He didn’t expect for the Fire Virtue God Lord to still be alive after countless years. But it seemed like he wasn’t a half-god yet.
“His strength?” The Ice Fire God Lord asked.
If the Fire Virtue God Lord’s strength was almost the same as the Bright God Lord, then there were greater chances of killing Li Fuchen.
After all, the Bright God Lord was known as one of the strongest god lords in the god race’s history.
The Bright God Lord replied, “He has obtained the half-god equipment shard and is stronger than me.”
The half-god energy inside the half-god equipment shard was scarce and wasn’t enough to cleanse the owner’s energy. However, it boosted some attributes significantly. There were some half-god equipment shards that could increase the owner’s vitality by 10 times or 100 times, giving them immortal bodies. There were some which gave the owner indestructible bodies that were stronger than pinnacle unparalleled body refinement lords. There were even unique shards that could enhance the spirit soul.
“It seems like this Primary Extreme Lord’s death is certain.” The Ice Fire God Lord and Dusk God Lord looked at each other with smirks.
…
Apart from the Primary Extreme Sword Technique reaching mid-state of star domain-rank, Li Fuchen’s sword dao universe had also improved greatly over a few thousand years.
His original sword dao universe was a little weaker than the Dusk God Lord’s Dusk God Domain, but now, it was already stronger and it was almost catching up to the Taichi Sword Progenitor’s taichi sword dao universe.
With the sword dao universe and the perfection rank Sword Lock Universe, Li Fuchen was confident that he could easily eliminate a regular unparalleled lord. He would just need more time to eliminate those powerful unparalleled lords.
“This time, my strength is really at the bottleneck.”
To be honest, Li Fuchen could no longer think of any method to increase his strength within a short period of time.
It was too difficult to break through his sword art to the perfection-state of star domain-level. Without a million years or two, it was nearly impossible.
This was already irrelevant to perception, it was mainly about accumulation.
The perfection-state of star domain-level was already the martial art’s extremity, another step further would be the level of the gods.
For Li Fuchen to cultivate his sword art to the true extremity, he had to experience more sword arts. Only by gathering the advantages of all the sword arts, he would then be able to make that additional step forward.
As for breaking through to the high-state of star domain-rank for the cultivation technique, the level of difficulty was equivalent for Li Fuchen’s sword art. It would also require a long period of time.
There might be stronger secret techniques, but they would only enhance Li Fuchen’s strength by a little. The Swordsmen Guild didn’t have any secret techniques that could increase Li Fuchen’s strength significantly.
As for weapons, Li Fuchen had the Primary Extreme Sword and it was already a tier 7 extreme-grade supreme rate weapon.
Li Fuchen didn’t really need cardinal artifacts. In terms of power, the strongest cardinal artifact would be close if not equivalent to a strength of a pinnacle unparalleled lord.
“Perhaps only universe treasures and half-god equipment can increase my strength within this short period of time.”
There wasn’t a need to mention half-god equipment as it was the key to becoming a half-god. Li Fuchen wouldn’t be surprised if universe treasures could increase his strength.
After a period of research, Li Fuchen realized the Chaos Fire Lotus could be used as an offense-type artifact by using the fire dao source essence from within. It could burst out with lethal power that was beyond pinnacle unparalleled lords.
But the Chaos Fire Lotus was a mid-grade universe treasure and Li Fuchen didn’t want to expose it as for now. Who knew what kind of trouble it would attract?
Li Fuchen didn’t assume that he was the only person in the universe that possessed a mid-grade universe treasure. He might not be afraid of other unparalleled lords that possessed mid-grade universe treasures, but it wasn’t necessary to create trouble for himself.
Furthermore, universe treasures complemented and countered each other.
If Li Fuchen encountered a universe treasure that countered the Chaos Fire Lotus, Li Fuchen would be defeated even if his strength was superior.
“I wonder if this is really the Tree of Life?” Li Fuchen took out a sapling that was emitting endless vitality from his spatial ring.
This sapling was found in a great desolate world inside the Deep Blue Plane. Back then, it was even smaller. During these years, Li Fuchen had tried all sorts of methods and was only able to make it grow a few times bigger than before.
“If this is the Tree of Life, even if its value isn’t comparable to the World Tree, it shouldn’t be significantly inferior.”
The Tree of Life was a publicly recognized high-grade universe treasure. Legends said that the Tree of Life didn’t just produce life, it could revive life.
Apart from that, the greatest effect was to allow the owner to possess endless vitality.
Of course, the prerequisite was to have a matured Tree of Life and not just a sapling.
“The Tree of Life likes items with vitality, like the Divine Leaf Sap, but my trade of Divine Leaf Sap with the Blood Ax Lord is too little. Unless I am able to obtain the entire World Tree leaf.”
Li Fuchen licked his lips. The entire World Tree leaf would at least grow the Tree of Life by a few hundred times or thousand times. But that would mean he had to completely fallout with the Undying Legion.
Li Fuchen took out a communication token and sent a message to the Blood Ax Lord, “Blood Ax Lord, how is the preparation of the Divine Leaf Sap.”
From the other side, the Blood Ax Lord replied, “For the past few thousand years, I have rejected everyone, including the battalion commanders of the Undying Legion. This time, the amount of Divine Leaf Sap I have prepared is definitely enough.”
“Alright, I will come over to collect it right now.”
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Li Fuchen wasn’t willing to fallout with the Undying Legion.
Right now, he had already offended the God Hall and Dark Council, if he offended the Undying Legion too, the situation wouldn’t be advantageous even if he had the support of the Swordsmen Guild.
The Blood Ax Lord had indeed prepared a huge quantity of Divine Leaf Sap this time, as it was several times more than before. In order not to offend Li Fuchen, the Blood Ax Lord didn’t wait for the World Tree leaf to secrete the Divine Leaf Sap by itself, he took the initiative to extract it. After all, the World Tree leaf was larger than a universe city. If he forcefully extracted it, he could extract amounts that would be naturally produced for millions of years. But it was unknown if it would damage the World Tree leaf.
