As he sped toward the precious Blood-Colored Battle Boots, the Nine Li clone directly opened the blue Blind Box with his consciousness.
In truth, once the opening progress was complete, either the Nine Li clone or Lian Luo's Main Body could open the Blind Box. However, considering that a battle might break out after he collected the precious battle boots...
If the item from the Blind Box could help in battle, the Nine Li clone could use it directly. Thus, he decided to open it immediately without hesitation. "If it's useless or can't help me escape, the main body can extract it instead. After all, either the main body or I can extract whatever comes out!"
"Whoosh!"
The instant the blue Blind Box opened, the Nine Li clone had already flown to the mountain-sized Blood-Colored Battle Boots. He pressed his palm against their surface, and his phased divine power began seeping into the boots.
"Human! Put down the precious treasure! Otherwise, we'll fight to the death!" the alien female King Level warrior in azure armor roared through telepathy when she saw the Nine Li clone refining the battle boots.
The other King Level warriors rushing over also sent telepathic messages, threatening and intimidating the Nine Li clone. But he could not even be bothered to glance at them, focusing solely on refining the Blood-Colored Battle Boots.
These battle boots had been buried deep within the Purple Splendor Star River for who knew how many ages and had long since become ownerless. As the Nine Li clone's phased divine power entered them, the boots swiftly absorbed the spiritual imprint within it and recognized him as their master with ease.
"Rumble—" His consciousness roared.
An ancient stream of information surged from the battle boots into the Nine Li clone's mind before stopping moments later.
"They're called the Feather Spirit Stepping Heaven Boots. One needs King Level Law Comprehension just to activate the first layer of secret engravings?" The Nine Li clone could not help frowning. The requirements to wield this precious treasure were truly harsh. With his current Law Comprehension, he simply could not activate the first layer of secret engravings!
Still, that was hardly surprising. Precious treasures were originally meant for Universe Venerables, and only experts with a Venerable's Law Comprehension could unleash their full power!
"Fuse!"
The Nine Li clone attempted to merge the battle boots into his body. "Even if I can't activate the first layer of secret engravings, they're still a precious treasure. They can't possibly be less effective than a divine weapon!"
Whoosh!
As the Nine Li clone poured in Immortal Divine Power, the Blood-Colored Battle Boots, which had been as large as a small mountain, instantly began shrinking at high speed. In the end, they merged directly into his body, forming an ancient blood-red battle boot around his right leg!
At the same time, a blood-red halo spread from the battle boot on his right leg. In an instant, it formed a thin crimson film over the surface of his body!
"So powerful!"
After refining and fusing with the Feather Spirit Stepping Heaven Boots, that was the Nine Li clone's only thought!
He truly could not activate the secret techniques within the battle boots, but the passive effect of this crimson film alone was astonishing!
So long as the attack did not exceed its defensive limit, it could block ninety percent of physical attacks and seventy percent of soul attacks!
As for that limit... the Nine Li clone estimated that King Level attacks should be unable to reach it.
Seeing that he had successfully refined the precious treasure!
The three King Level warriors who had been closest to the area all sent telepathic messages in an attempt to stop him.
The female King Level warrior in azure armor had madness flashing in her eyes. "Human, hand over the precious treasure!"
The short alien King Level warrior clad in black armor roared, "Human, if you don't hand over the precious treasure, don't even think about leaving!"
Greed filled the eyes of the Kuang Jin Hou, which resembled a floating island. "Human..."
"Pop!"
At the Nine Li clone's mental command, the lid of the blue Blind Box flipped open, revealing two items inside. One was a green Blind Box that looked similar but was much smaller.
The other was a chaotic-colored polyhedron with ten faces. Each face of the chaotic polyhedron was a different color. Yet upon closer inspection, each face was actually composed of 10,081 tiny sections, each constantly giving off a different aura.
There was the violent fury of fire, the sharpness of metal, the heaviness of earth, the lightness of wind...
The polyhedron's ten faces corresponded precisely to the ten great Origin Laws.
"This is?" As the Nine Li clone's consciousness settled upon the polyhedron, he immediately received its information.
"Universe Cube: Origin Supreme Treasure. Once refined, it can connect to the Origin Land of the Cosmic Origin and accelerate the absorption of divine power!"
"It's actually an Origin Supreme Treasure!" The Nine Li clone was first stunned, then overwhelmed with joy.
Throughout their lives, cosmic experts only had one chance to draw upon the sea of laws within the Origin Land of the Cosmic Origin: the moment they advanced from World Master to Immortal. Only then could the Origin Land pour endless energy into them and transform their bodies into divine bodies, granting them an enormous amount of divine power in an instant. Such an opportunity came only once.
After that, the normal rate of absorption became far too slow.
Thus, whether they wished to cultivate and grow stronger or recover from damage to their divine bodies, they needed a long time!
Once too much was lost—for example, fifty percent of a divine body—recovering to one's peak would require sleeping for hundreds of millions of years while connecting to the Origin Land and absorbing divine power.
At the Immortal stage, one could still use all kinds of treasures to convert energy into divine power and recover quickly!
But at the Universe Venerable stage, their divine bodies were immensely powerful. Once they lost thirty percent, fifty percent, or more through burning divine power, the treasures needed for recovery would be unimaginably vast—ten thousand times more, or even greater, than during the Immortal God stage. Even if Universe Venerables emptied their entire fortunes, they might not be able to gather such enormous quantities of cosmic treasures.
And that was only for Universe Venerables.
If it were a Universe Master, then during wars between races and clashes among Universe Masters, losing fifty percent of one's divine body would be even more terrifying. Fifty percent of a Universe Master's divine body was an immense loss to the entire race. In the original story, the Great Axe Founder believed that if the Lord of Chaos City lost one clone, the entire Human race would suffer grievously!
At such times, an Origin Supreme Treasure became incomparably important!
Once one possessed an Origin Supreme Treasure, drawing energy from the sea of laws within the Origin Land of the Cosmic Origin could become a thousand times, ten thousand times, or even a million times faster... How much the efficiency improved depended entirely on the grade of the Origin Supreme Treasure.
Origin Supreme Treasures were divided into lower-grade types corresponding to the eight laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light; higher-grade time and space types; top-grade fusion types such as metal-space and wood-space... along with numerous other fusion types, as well as the legendary kind that encompassed all laws.
"My Universe Cube encompasses all ten great Origin Laws! It is definitely the most top-tier Origin Treasure!" The Nine Li clone could not help smiling. "I was worried that getting away this time would be difficult, but now that I have an Origin Treasure in hand, hehe..."
With that thought, the Nine Li clone extracted the reward without hesitation and then refined the Universe Cube, the Origin Supreme Treasure!
Because both the extraction and refinement of the Origin Supreme Treasure took place within his body, and because an Origin Supreme Treasure did not cause as much commotion as a combat-type supreme treasure, it all happened silently.
Of course, since he had only comprehended the complete fire law, he could only refine one-tenth of the Universe Cube!
"Let's give it a try!" The Nine Li clone attempted to connect to the ocean of fire-origin laws and draw divine power from it.
The next second, he was utterly dumbfounded.
From now on, updates would be fixed at six every morning.
