Bang!
Yue Ming smashed the cast on his right leg and stood up, moving around a little. At that moment, he was full of confidence in the future. With the Chat Group and the Law Fusion Device, he would surely stand at the very peak of Devouring Universe!
Even if he passed through reincarnation in the future and entered the Origin Continent, with the Law Fusion Device, his minimum achievement would be becoming a Chaos Master. He might even dare to dream of becoming a God King.
The main thing was that the Law Fusion Device fused laws, while Yue Ming did not know what requirements there were for breaking through to God King.
Yue Ming only knew that to break through to Chaos Master, one needed to fuse the Ten Great Laws and return them to their original state as Chaos Law. Once one mastered Chaos Law, one could become a Chaos Master.
And fusing laws was precisely the Law Fusion Device's greatest function. For Yue Ming, breaking through to Chaos Master was almost no challenge at all.
"I still have 20 points left. Time to raise my strength!"
There were countless treasures in the mall, practically everything one could want. There were many treasures similar to Spirits of Plants and Trees, and they were extremely cheap. One point could buy several of them.
But that also showed just how precious points were. The Thousand-Year Blood Fruit was incredibly valuable, yet when Yue Ming thought of his Gene Multiplier rising to three times, he felt that the 80 points had been well spent.
Using the mall's search function, dozens of cheap treasures with effects similar to Spirits of Plants and Trees appeared on the shopping list. Yue Ming ultimately chose one called the Heart of the Sunflower Tree.
"Buy two Hearts of the Sunflower Tree!"
"1 point deducted."
Two crystal-like tree hearts appeared out of thin air in Yue Ming's hands. The Heart of the Sunflower Tree contained immense life energy and had effects similar to Spirits of Plants and Trees.
In truth, Yue Ming had worried that when Great Axe Founder came to Earth in the future to reverse time, he might see this scene.
But Yue Ming had no way to avoid it. He could not leave Earth now, so he could not simply give up eating for fear of choking, could he?
At worst, he could claim that he had obtained some mysterious opportunity. Earth had been destroyed twice before, so it was perfectly normal for Origin Star and the Classic of Mountains and Seas to have left behind some inheritances and opportunities.
More likely, Great Axe Founder would not care at all. As the dignified Universe's Strongest, he would not covet the belongings of some junior.
Given Great Axe Founder's character, as long as it was not a Supreme Treasure, he would not even care about a Peak Treasure. At most, he might remark that this little fellow was rather lucky.
As for the Chat Group and the Law Fusion Device? The Chat Group had a shielding function, and no one below Ninth Order could detect it at all.
It took Yue Ming two hours to absorb and refine the two Hearts of the Sunflower Tree, raising his strength to Peak Mid-Level Warlord.
Normally, two Hearts of the Sunflower Tree would have been enough to raise someone to peak High-level War God, with plenty to spare. But Yue Ming had a threefold Gene Multiplier, so the energy he needed to increase his strength was also three times greater.
Yue Ming could only spend another 2 points to buy four Hearts of the Sunflower Tree from the mall. After refining and absorbing all four, he finally raised his strength to peak High-level War God.
"I still have 17 points left."
Yue Ming did not intend to use those remaining 17 points for the time being. He would save them for emergencies. His strength had just surged, so he first needed to familiarize himself with his newfound power.
"My force-amplification level is a little lacking!"
Generally speaking, peak High-level War Gods had an average force amplification of around four or five times. Yue Ming only had three times amplification, which put him far behind other peak High-level War Gods.
One or two times amplification might not seem like much, but the base strength of a peak High-level War God was 500,000 kilograms. A difference of two times amplification meant a difference of 1,000,000 kilograms. That gap was enormous.
"My predecessor's physical talent was mediocre, but his comprehension was exceptional. As a Beginner Warlord, he already possessed three times force amplification and had cultivated Shadow Stream Swordplay to perfection. Many Beginner War Gods were inferior to him..."
"However, Shadow Stream Swordplay is only an A-Class Sword Technique, and its maximum amplification is merely three times. It seems I need to change Cultivation Methods, or create a sword technique of my own?"
But even if he wanted to create a sword technique, he could not create one from nothing. He needed a large number of sword manuals for reference.
Among the warriors on Earth in Swallowed Star, the most practiced saber techniques, followed by spear techniques. This was probably due to Hong and Thor's influence. Those who practiced sword techniques were actually few.
"Looks like I need to spend some time making a trip to the Wilderness Zone."
One reason for going to the Wilderness Zone was to familiarize himself with his greatly increased strength through battle. Although Yue Ming had fused with his predecessor's memories and inherited everything from him, he had still been an ordinary person before transmigrating. He needed time to adapt, and the best way was to slaughter monsters in the Wilderness Zone.
Besides familiarizing himself with his increased strength, another reason was to hunt monsters and earn some money. Whether he wanted to create his own sword technique or buy top-tier sword manuals, he would need a great deal of money.
Yue Ming did not insist on whether he could create a sword technique. It was only a temporary measure, after all. Once he entered the universe in the future, he would have plenty of opportunities to obtain Cultivation Methods for force amplification.
"With my current strength, as long as I don't encounter a King-level Monster, I can practically run rampant through the Wilderness Zone. Unfortunately, I don't have a Black God Set. Otherwise, even if I encountered a King-level Monster, I would dare to test myself against it!"
Yue Ming was now a peak High-level War God. With the boost of his threefold Gene Multiplier, his base strength had reached 1,500,000 kilograms. With three times force amplification, that became 4,500,000 kilograms, already surpassing the base strength of a First Order Planetary Level warrior.
An ordinary First Order Planetary Level warrior only had a base strength of 2,000,000 kilograms. However, Planetary Level warriors generally had force amplification above five times, so overall, Yue Ming was still far inferior to them.
"Unfortunately, Ruins No. 9 is controlled by Limit Martial Hall. Otherwise, with my strength, I could easily obtain a Black God Set by entering the ruins."
The Black God Set was worthless in the universe, but it was extremely precious on Earth, and it could only be obtained from Ruins No. 9.
If Yue Ming were willing to join Limit Martial Hall, then with his strength as a peak High-level War God, Limit Martial Hall would certainly welcome him. He could also easily apply for an opportunity to enter Ruins No. 9.
But Yue Ming had never intended to join any faction, not even Limit Martial Hall. Wouldn't it be better to be a free and unfettered warrior?
Yue Ming lacked nothing now. His strength had reached peak High-level War God, and once he familiarized himself with it, he would be able to break through to Planetary Level.
Most importantly, Earth's resources were extremely scarce. Without any unexpected opportunities, it would be nearly impossible for anyone to break through to Stellar Level.
To break through to Stellar Level on Earth, one could only slowly absorb Cosmic Energy. That would take decades, and those with average talent might need more than a century.
"Sell Shadow Stream Swordplay!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained 0.016 points."
Yue Ming wanted to conduct an experiment, so he sold the Shadow Stream Swordplay he had cultivated in the mall. He simply had not expected to receive so few points. All he could say was that Shadow Stream Swordplay's grade was too low.
There were many peerless manuals in the Chat Group Mall, including top-tier Seventh and Eighth Order Cultivation Methods. For example, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique from the Primordial World and the Immortal Emperor Method from the Fantasy World both sold for hundreds of billions of points.
"How many points does it cost to buy Shadow Stream Swordplay?"
"Confirm purchase of Shadow Stream Swordplay for 0.020 points?"
"Don't buy it!"
The result was exactly as Yue Ming had expected. The Chat Group Mall indeed earned a price difference from the transaction, equivalent to a 20% profit.
A 20% profit was not actually high. It was quite conscientious. Perhaps those lofty Tenth Order ancestors and Ninth Order transcendents did not care about such trifling gains and had no intention of profiting from juniors like them.
After browsing the mall for a while, Yue Ming closed the Chat Group. He then exercised briefly in the room to familiarize himself with his newly increased strength before putting on his combat uniform, taking his weapon, and setting out for the Wilderness Zone.
