Illusion Sea, twenty-first island!
Lian Luo's expression remained calm, wisdom gleaming in his eyes.
He took a step forward, and the illusion of the twenty-first island descended alongside incomparably terrifying pressure...
"Boom!"
It was as though the heavens had collapsed and crashed down, striking directly at Lian Luo's consciousness. Almost instantly, his consciousness was completely shattered.
Twenty-first island, failed!
No matter how high his state of mind was, faced with consciousness comparable to that of a Universe Venerable, he was still utterly helpless!
"Whew!"
Lian Luo's figure appeared directly within a palace on Thunder Island, a smile in his eyes. "I passed the seventeenth and eighteenth levels of the Tongtian Bridge, and the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth levels of Illusion Sea!"
"I earned about 121 million points in total. Adding what I had left after spending last time, my current point balance is a little over 200 million!"
Looking at the point balance in his account, Lian Luo opened the company's internal treasure exchange vault and began searching for treasures to exchange.
Having cultivated the second level of the Star Prison Demonic Codex, he could continue cultivating the divine body amplification secret technique of the second level.
The second level of the Star Prison Demonic Body could achieve a fourfold amplification!
What he was searching for were the various treasures required to cultivate the second level of the Star Prison Demonic Body.
"Flame Phoenix Tail Feather, worth 10 million points? I'll buy it!"
"Igros Ancient Spring Water, worth 7 million points? Buy it!"
He purchased recklessly, and before long, his 200 million points were all spent. Yet he had only bought a little over half of the resources he needed. Still, Lian Luo had expected this long ago. He planned to have the Nine Li clone buy the rest in Hong Alliance City, where the available treasures were more complete than those purchasable internally through the Virtual Universe Company.
Of course, the prices were somewhat higher. Lian Luo estimated that buying with cash in Hong Alliance City would cost around 20% more than exchanging points within the company.
However, the Nine Li clone possessed more than 2.2 billion Chaos Units in wealth. Buying these treasures and materials was nothing at all!
Moreover, both his main body and the Nine Li clone had human forms, so only one set of materials was needed. If he were like Luo Feng, with one humanoid clone and one Golden Horned Beast clone, whose appearances and bodily structures differed completely, divine body amplification would not be transferable at all, and even many secret techniques could not be shared.
"Besides the Star Prison Demonic Body, I can also cultivate deeper portions of the three secret techniques Soul Suppressing Seal, Myriad Streams Return to Origin, and Star River Straight Line!"
"As for self-created attack secret techniques, with the Law Comprehension I gained from cultivating the second level of the Star Prison Demonic Codex, I have enough to create a peak immortal secret technique!"
"The first layer of secret engravings on the Feather Spirit Stepping Heaven Boots should also be fully activated by the Nine Li clone!"
"As for the Black Flame Sword, perhaps I can activate the second layer of secret engravings!"
"No rush. I'll take it slowly!"
Very soon, the Nine Li clone linked his consciousness to the Virtual Universe and entered Hong Alliance City. Randomly choosing a shop called Universe Treasure Hall, the Nine Li clone made a lavish purchase of a high-end detection device worth 1.2 billion Chaos Units.
He also purchased a large number of treasures needed to cultivate the second level of the Star Prison Demonic Body, spending 150 million Chaos Units. Naturally, to avoid anyone linking him to Lian Luo's Main Body, he deliberately bought some other treasures as well, spending another 100 million Chaos Units.
This brought his total wealth down to less than 800 million Chaos Units.
"Do you have any treasures that can seal space and prevent teleportation?" After purchasing everything, the Nine Li clone calmly looked at the staff member.
He could not teleport yet. If he encountered a peak King-level expert who had comprehended teleportation, that person could fight whenever they wanted and leave whenever they wanted. That would be far too frustrating.
In the short term, it was unrealistic for him to comprehend teleportation. He could only find a way to ensure that other powerful experts were unable to teleport just like him.
He remembered that Luo Feng in the original story had once used the Arm of Void Locking obtained from the Yanji Clan to seal the void! If secret realm natives like the Yanji Clan could develop treasures capable of sealing the void, there was no reason the Human race, as a peak race, could not develop them.
Hearing the Nine Li clone's words, the staff member behind the counter smiled and nodded. With a wave of his hand, several items appeared on the list. "Honored guest, these are all the items that meet your requirements!"
The Nine Li clone looked at the list.
"Space Tower!"
"Void Locking Mirror!"
There were more than a dozen items in total, all meeting his requirements, but their prices were also frighteningly high.
For instance, once activated, this Space Tower could solidify the surrounding space, eliminating all spatial fluctuations. It could also be manually adjusted to seal an area ranging from ten thousand kilometers to one hundred million kilometers.
But it cost 2 trillion Chaos Units!
The Nine Li clone was left speechless!
With that kind of money, what couldn't he do?
"Can I only afford this?" The Nine Li clone's gaze moved downward, passing one treasure after another before finally stopping on the item at the very bottom.
"Void Locking Bead: Single-use item. Once used, it can seal space within a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers and prevent teleportation for 10 seconds! (Price: 100 million Chaos Units per bead!)"
The Nine Li clone nodded slightly. "Although it's single-use, being able to seal space within one hundred thousand kilometers for ten seconds is still not bad!"
In a battle between King-level experts, ten seconds was enough to exchange tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of moves. If they truly fought for that long, it would be enough for him to kill his opponent!
"But the price really is outrageous. Give me..." The Nine Li clone pondered for a moment. "Give me five."
Ordinary peak King-level experts, even if they had comprehended the two profound mysteries of Space Law—Strangulation and Sealing—or had comprehended Time Law, would not spend money on such single-use treasures.
They did not possess the Nine Li clone's ability to fight above his level. Even if they kept their opponent from escaping, so what? They still could not kill them. Rather than spend money on this, they might as well use it to improve their own strength!
After buying five Void Locking Beads and spending another 500 million Chaos Units, the Nine Li clone had less than 300 million Chaos Units left.
"That'll do!"
Just as Lian Luo's Main Body and the Nine Li clone were both making lavish purchases.
Lian Luo's Main Body received another email. It was from Venerable Guiyi, and its contents stated that he would be granted King Level, while also asking for his thoughts on a title.
Would he continue using Blood-robed King, or change to another title?
If he wanted a different title, he was to reply to the email. Otherwise, Lian Luo would be granted King Level under the title Blood-robed King.
"Blood-robed King?" Lian Luo shook his head in rejection.
As such a good person, he had absolutely no interest in blood or killing. How could he use a title like that?
"Throughout Chinese history, many people who comprehended the state of mind known as Pure Heart became sages!" Lian Luo smiled and nodded. "I'll be called Holy Heart King!"
The email was sent, and he quickly received Venerable Guiyi's reply. "No problem. That title is available!"
Holy Heart King, Lian Luo!
