Peak High-level War God

"Bam!"

Yue Ming shattered the plaster cast on his right leg, stood up, and stretched. At this moment, he was filled with confidence in the future. With the Chat Group and the Law Fusion Device, he was destined to stand at the very peak of the Devouring Universe!

Even if he eventually passed through reincarnation and entered the Origin Continent, with the Law Fusion Device, his minimum achievement would be a Chaos Master, and he could even dare to hope for a Divine King.

The key was the Law Fusion Device; its function was to fuse laws. Yue Ming had no idea what requirements were needed to break through to Divine King.

He only knew that to break through to Chaos Master, he needed to fuse the Ten Great Laws, revert them back to the Chaos Law, and mastering the Chaos Law would allow him to become a Chaos Master.

And fusing laws was the Law Fusion Device's greatest function. For Yue Ming, breaking through to Chaos Master was almost effortless.

"I still have 20 Points left. I can boost my strength a bit!"

The treasures in the Mall were endless, almost everything imaginable. Treasures similar to the Spirit of Plants and Trees were abundant in the Mall and very cheap; one Point could buy several.

But this showed how precious Points were, and how valuable the Thousand-Year Blood Fruit was. Yet, thinking that his gene count had increased to three times, Yue Ming felt the 80 Points were well spent.

Using the Mall's search function, a list of dozens of cheap treasures with effects similar to the Spirit of Plants and Trees appeared. Yue Ming ultimately chose a treasure called the Heart of the Sunflower Tree.

"Purchase two Hearts of the Sunflower Tree!"

"Deducted 1 Point."

Two crystal-like tree hearts materialized in Yue Ming's hands. The Heart of the Sunflower Tree contained vast life energy, with effects similar to the Spirit of Plants and Trees.

Actually, buying treasures from the Mall, Yue Ming had worried that in the future, when the Great Axe Founder came to Earth and reversed time and space, he would see this.

But Yue Ming had no way to avoid it. He couldn't leave Earth now, and he couldn't just stop eating for fear of choking, could he?

At worst, he could make an excuse about obtaining a mysterious opportunity. After all, Earth had been destroyed twice before; it was perfectly normal for the Source Star and the Classic of Mountains and Seas to leave behind some inherited opportunities.

More likely, no one would care. The Great Axe Founder, as a Universe's Strongest, wouldn't covet the little things of a junior.

Given the Great Axe Founder's character, unless it was a Supreme Treasure, even a Peak Treasure wouldn't catch his eye. He might just sigh and say, "This kid is pretty lucky."

As for the Chat Group and the Law Fusion Device? The Chat Group had a blocking function; anything below the Ninth Order couldn't detect it.

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 be enough to raise strength to peak High-level War God, and even have some left over. But with Yue Ming's threefold gene multiplier, the energy needed to raise his strength was also tripled.

Yue Ming had to spend another 2 Points to buy four more Hearts of the Sunflower Tree from the Mall. After refining and absorbing them, he finally raised his strength to peak High-level War God.

"I still have 17 Points left."

Yue Ming decided not to use the remaining 17 Points for now, keeping them for emergencies. His strength had just skyrocketed, and he first needed to get familiar with the sudden increase in power.

"My force exertion level is a bit poor!"

Generally, for peak High-level War God, the average force exertion was around four to five times. Yue Ming only had three times force exertion. Compared to other peak High-level War Gods, his force exertion was far behind.

Don't underestimate a one or two times difference in force exertion. The base strength of a peak High-level War God was 500,000 kg. A two times difference in force exertion meant a gap of 1,000,000 kg. This gap was enormous.

"My predecessor's physical aptitude was average, but his comprehension was excellent. As a Beginner Warlord, he already had three times force exertion and had cultivated Shadow Stream Swordplay to the pinnacle. Many Beginner War Gods weren't as good as him..."

"But Shadow Stream Swordplay is only an A-Class Sword Technique, with a maximum force exertion of three times. It seems I need to change my cultivation method, or maybe create my own sword technique?"

But even if he wanted to create his own sword technique, he couldn't do it out of thin air. He needed a large number of sword technique manuals as reference.

In the Swallowed Star Earth's martial artist community, the most people practiced saber techniques, followed by spear techniques. This might have been influenced by Hong and Thor. Very few people practiced sword techniques.

"It seems I need to spend some time going to the Wilderness Zone."

Going to the Wilderness Zone served two purposes. First, to get familiar with his skyrocketing strength through combat. Although Yue Ming had merged with his predecessor's memories and inherited everything, he was just an ordinary person before the transmigration. He needed time to adapt, and the best way was to fight in the Wilderness Zone.

Besides getting familiar with his increased strength, hunting monsters to earn money was another reason. Whether creating his own sword technique or buying top-tier sword technique manuals, both required a lot of money.

As for whether he could create his own sword technique, Yue Ming wasn't forcing it. After all, it was just a temporary transition. Once he entered the universe, he would have plenty of opportunities to obtain force exertion cultivation methods.

"With my current strength, as long as I don't run into a King-level Monster, I can basically run rampant in the Wilderness Zone. It's a pity I don't have the Black God Set. Otherwise, even if I met a King-level Monster, I'd dare to have a go!"

Yue Ming was now a peak High-level War God. With the threefold gene boost, his base strength reached 1,500,000 kg. With three times force exertion, that was 4,500,000 kg, already exceeding the base strength of a First Order Planetary Level.

An ordinary First Order Planetary Level had a base strength of only 2,000,000 kg. However, Planetary Level martial artists generally had force exertion above five times. So overall, Yue Ming was still far inferior to a Planetary Level martial artist.

"It's a pity that Ruins No. 9 is controlled by the Limit Martial Hall. Otherwise, with my strength, I could easily get the Black God Set by entering the ruins."

The Black God Set was worthless in the universe, but on Earth, it was extremely precious, and it could only be obtained from Ruins No. 9.

If Yue Ming was willing to join the Limit Martial Hall, with his peak High-level War God strength, the Limit Martial Hall would certainly welcome him, and he could easily apply for a chance to enter Ruins No. 9.

But Yue Ming had never planned to join any force, not even the Limit Martial Hall. Wasn't it better to be a free and unrestrained martial artist?

Yue Ming lacked nothing now. With his strength at peak High-level War God, he just needed to get familiar with his power to break through to Planetary Level.

The key point was that Earth's resources were very scarce. Barring any surprises, it was almost impossible for anyone to break through to Stellar Level.

To break through to Stellar Level on Earth, one could only rely on slowly absorbing Cosmic Energy. This process would take decades, and for those with average talent, it might take a hundred years.

"Sell Shadow Stream Swordplay!"

"Congratulations! You have obtained 0.016 Points."

Yue Ming wanted to run an experiment, so he sold the Shadow Stream Swordplay he had cultivated in the Mall. He just didn't expect the Points to be so few. It only showed that the level of Shadow Stream Swordplay was too low.

The Chat Group Mall contained many peerless secret manuals, including top-tier cultivation methods of the Seventh and Eighth Orders, such as the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique from the Primordial World and the Immortal Emperor Method from the Fantasy World, which often cost over a hundred billion Points.

"How many Points does it cost to buy Shadow Stream Swordplay?"

"Confirm purchase of Shadow Stream Swordplay for 0.020 Points?"

"Do not purchase!"

The test result matched Yue Ming's expectation—the Chat Group Mall had indeed taken a cut, effectively earning a 20% profit margin.

A 20% profit wasn't actually high; it was fairly reasonable. Perhaps the lofty Tenth Order Ancestors and Ninth Order Transcendents simply had no interest in such meager earnings, unwilling to squeeze their juniors for pocket change.

After browsing the mall for a while, Yue Ming closed the chat group. He did some light exercise in the room to acclimate to his newly surged strength, then donned his combat suit, grabbed his weapon, and set out for the Wilderness Zone.
