Wow!

With a flick of his hand, the Lord of Longxing sent out a Flowing Light that hovered in mid-air.

Yang Wu looked up and saw an ancient mirror with a diameter of several kilometers.

This mirror is oval-shaped, reddish-brown, and its surface is constantly shimmering with mercury-like light.

"This is a Top-tier Soul Heavy Treasure, named the 'Burning Heaven Treasure Mirror'."

Lord of Longxing, the 'Burning Heaven Treasure Mirror' slowly descended, shrinking continuously during its descent until it finally became the size of a palm and hovered in front of Yang Wu.

"It's actually Top-tier Soul Heavy Treasure?" Yang Wu's heart stirred.

The Lord of Longxing had indeed bestowed upon him a treasure he desperately needed.

Treasure classification...

They can be categorized into offensive weapons, Telepathic Weapon, defensive armor, wings, combat boots and other escape-type treasures, sealing treasures, primal treasures, Flying Palace-type, soul treasures, Domain Type, and so on...

Among the many treasures, those of the Soul type, Flying Palace-type, and Domain Type are the most precious, with their value even equivalent to higher-level treasures.

This Top-tier Soul Heavy Treasure, in terms of value alone, probably surpasses that of an Ordinary Supreme Treasure.

In battles between powerful beings, physical attacks generally only annihilate a portion of Divine Body, while soul-penetrating attacks, once breached, will destroy the entire person, and even Clone cannot escape. Therefore, soul-type attacks are extremely terrifying.

With the 'Burning Heaven Treasure Mirror' protecting his soul, and along with other methods, Yang Wu's soul defense would likely be unshakable even by attacks from Universe Venerable.

"Your will is already quite strong. With this 'Burning Heaven Treasure Mirror' guarding your soul, even if you encounter Peak King Level -level Soul Master, you won't be infiltrated and killed by their soul, nor will you be Soul Control. However..."

The Lord of Longxing continued, "This 'Burning Heaven Treasure Mirror' is considered extremely high-grade even among Top-Tier Heavy Treasure, its value comparable to several Ordinary Supreme Treasure weapons!"

"Remember, never reveal its information, or even the Universe Overlord might hunt you down for it!"

"Thank you, Teacher!" Yang Wu said respectfully, and then accepted the Burning Heaven Treasure Mirror with both hands.

"Hmm!" The Lord of Longxing nodded slightly. "Of course, don't let your wealth make you careless. Back then, the Zerg Race were able to send a Universe Venerable to assassinate you, so they're probably even more willing to pay a high price to take you down now."

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

In his mind, with the Clone Technique and the assistance of Top-tier Soul Heavy Treasure, the life-or-death crises he would encounter in the future should be much less.

Moreover, he hadn't encountered any life-or-death crises in his recent simulations.

However, with the reminder from the Lord of Longxing, Yang Wu suddenly realized that he would be making a big mistake if he thought he could rest easy from now on.

When Yang Wu first joined Virtual Universe Company, his teacher Jinguang Marquis warned him to always have a sense of awe for the universe.

Looking back now, how many of those geniuses from the same era as Jinguang Marquis are still alive today?

Every ten million years, many genius World Lord emerge in the Human Race. However, over countless years, the human race has only accumulated a little over one hundred thousand King Level Immortal.

Lian Luo, Kedi, and even other unparalleled geniuses have mostly perished in the long river of time.

"Never be arrogant, or you might lose your life!" Yang Wu warned himself silently.

Real-life experiences are unlike simulations where you can start over again and again. Once you fall, there is truly no going back.

Moreover, with the existence of the Time Simulator, Yang Wu wasn't entirely sure if he could be resurrected by Reverse Time and Space.

"The war between our Human Race and the other major powerful races is a war for survival, destined to be incredibly brutal! Over endless years, even the mighty Universe Master will be in danger of perishing!"

The Lord of Longxing turned to look at the countless corpses surrounding the main hall and sighed, "Do you see these corpses?"

"Yes!" Yang Wu nodded gently.

At a glance, countless Alien Race corpses were scattered all around. These corpses ranged in size from thousands of kilometers tall to incredibly short, and included Metal Lifeform, energy life forms, and so on...

The auras emanating from the corpses varied in strength, but having existed for countless years, they had at least reached the level of Immortal. Among them, the most powerful auras even surpassed those of the living Nine Sword Venerable.

Yang Wu knew that the Chaos Ruins where the Chaos City Leader was located contained countless corpses of Alien Race, but he did not expect that the Lord of Longxing's place would also have so many corpses.

Do these powerful individuals all have a peculiar hobby of collecting corpses?

"I personally killed all these powerful figures!" the Lord of Longxing sighed softly. "The number of Alien Race powerhouses I've killed alone is already countless. These corpses are only a small fraction of them; most of them were completely pulverized into nothingness by the aftershocks of the battle!"

"Of course, countless powerful beings among us humans have also been killed by Alien Race."

"We humans hate Alien Race, Alien Race hate humans in return."

"It's not a matter of right or wrong in this situation. Everyone has to survive in this universe. If smaller groups want to become stronger, then stronger groups must also try to prevent other groups from becoming stronger!"

"For a race, a Universe Master is the true Sky-Lifting Pillar and the anchor of the sea! As long as there is a Universe Master, his race can be called a powerful race."

The Lord of Longxing looked at Yang Wu and said, "And you, Yang Wu, are the genius most likely to become a new pillar of our Human Race in the endless years!"

"This disciple will certainly do his utmost!" Yang Wu said with utmost solemnity.

Of course, he wanted to become a powerful being who could traverse the universe.

The Lord of Longxing nodded and continued, "But countless Alien Race won't watch you grow. Once they discover your presence in the Outer-Region Battlefield, Universe Venerable, or even Universe Master, might just storm in!"

Although it is strictly forbidden for experts above the Universe Venerable to enter the Outer-Region Battlefield, Yang Wu's existence is enough for the Alien Race to break this rule.

The Lord of Longxing continued, "Although this 'Burning Heaven Treasure Mirror' is powerful, you are still only World Lord. If Universe Venerable were to launch Soul Attack, they could easily control you through Soul Invasion. If that happens, no one can save you!"

Soul Enslavement is a ruthless and irreversible method; once you become someone else's slave, you are utterly doomed.

However, the Lord of Longxing was clearly unaware of Yang Wu's remarkable achievements in Heart Cultivation. Furthermore, with Top-Tier Heavy Treasure guarding his soul, even ordinary Universe Venerable would be unable to break through his soul defenses.

"Therefore, if you encounter an irresistible Soul Invasion, it is better to self-destruct than to become the enemy's Soul Slave!"

The Lord of Longxing continued, "After the self-destruction, at most we'll only lose some treasures—one or two Top-Tier Heavy Treasure. Our Human Race can afford to lose that!"

This is why the Lord of Longxing did not bestow upon Yang Wu any more precious treasures.

After all, no matter how strong Yang Wu's soul defense is, it cannot withstand a physical attack and he will still perish, losing his Supreme Treasure.

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu nodded very seriously.

"This is my Token!" The Lord of Longxing flipped his hand, and a Golden Token immediately appeared in his hand. The token was exquisitely carved, resembling a soaring divine dragon.

Yang Wu quickly and respectfully accepted it.

"If you encounter an insurmountable danger, destroy this token immediately!" the Lord of Longxing solemnly declared. "This token is made of very fragile material; with your strength, you could easily crush it. It bears my Spiritual Imprint; if it's crushed, I will know immediately and arrive in a very short time!"

Yang Wu nodded earnestly.

"Of course, what I hope for even more is... that you can rely on your own strength to become an unparalleled powerhouse, one that even Alien Race cannot shake."

The Lord of Longxing looked at Yang Wu seriously. "Remember, survival skills are the most important. Your teacher doesn't want to see you forced to use this token."

"Your disciple will remember your teachings, Master!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

He certainly understood the importance of this point; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find Clone Technique at the Universe Level.

In the original novel, the most important reason why Luo Feng was able to Transcendence of Reincarnation was his extremely strong ability to protect himself.

The astonishing defensive power of World Lord Level, the incomparably massive Divine Body of Immortal Level —even in the final battle against the World Beast King, it was only because of his immense divine power that he was able to withstand the attack until the moment of breakthrough...

"From now on, you can directly teleport to my temple on Thunder Island!" The Lord of Longxing nodded and continued, "If you encounter any questions in your cultivation, or need guidance on your Self-Created Secret Technique, you can ask me at my temple atop Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe. As for this Qiulong Palace, you don't need to come here unless it's urgent!"

"Yes, teacher!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

"Go ahead, and I hope that when I see you in reality next time, you will have already broken through to Immortal!" the Lord of Longxing said expectantly.

Although breaking through to Immortal after fusing with the Star Bead was extremely difficult, the Lord of Longxing now had great confidence in Yang Wu.

"This disciple takes his leave!" Yang Wu bowed respectfully in farewell.

Brush!

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Longxing teleported Yang Wu directly to the main hall where the Nine Sword Venerable was located.

Only the Lord of Longxing in the hall. He stared ahead, as if piercing through the endless void...

"With Top-tier Soul Heavy Treasure and the ability to create Clone, Yang Wu should have a very hard time facing life-or-death situations in the Outer-Region Battlefield!"

After Yang Wu and the Nine Sword Venerable met up, they were directly teleported to the void Qiulong Palace.

"Let's go, I'll send you back to the Initial Universe!" said the Nine Sword Venerable. He then waved his hand, and the giant fish-shaped spaceship that appeared instantly reopened the God Kingdom Teleportation channel.

Through the God Kingdom Teleportation, Yang Wu and the Nine Sword Venerable returned to the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters once again.

However, after returning to the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters, the Nine Sword Venerable did not immediately head to the Initial Universe, but instead brought Yang Wu to his residence.

A short while later, a jet-black spaceship came to a stop in front of the Nine Sword Venerable's residence.

An Immortal God in uniform stepped off the spaceship.

"Your Venerable, Your Highness Yang Wu!" The Immortal Level staff member respectfully handed over a Space Ring.

The Nine Sword Venerable, who was standing to the side, quickly gestured for Yang Wu to take the ring.

"Teacher, what is this?" Yang Wu asked in confusion.

The Nine Sword Venerable has already given him the gifts he prepared, so could there be some other treasure among them?

"The Blood of the Beast God!" After the staff left, the Nine Sword Venerable said calmly.

"Blood of the Beast God?" Yang Wu was slightly surprised.

"Yes!" The Nine Sword Venerable continued to explain, "You were able to become Black Warrior, and your clan will also give you some rewards after you break through to the World Lord Level. This World Ring contains the Blood of the Beast God."

"Once you fuse with the Blood of the Beast God, your Life Gene Level will reach a hundred times that of ordinary life in the universe!"

Yang Wu was well aware of the effects of the Blood of the Beast God.

A single drop of the Blood of the Beast God, when absorbed into the body, has the same effect as fusing a Xueluo Crystal.

To create a single drop of Blood of the Beast God, one hundred Xueluo Crystal are needed for extraction.

Therefore, using the Blood of the Beast God is an extremely extravagant method. Normally, fusing one hundred Xueluo Crystal is the limit, but to use the Blood of the Beast God, one needs ten thousand Xueluo Crystal.

This is the price to pay—a hundredfold price—to reduce the invasion of Evil Qi, pain, and so on.

Even so, there are still very few humans who can achieve a hundredfold increase in genetic strength by fusing with the Blood of the Beast God.

Just like fusing with Xueluo Crystal, fusing with the Blood of the Beast God also has its limits. Even without the invasion of Evil Qi, very few people can successfully fuse with one hundred drops of the Blood of the Beast God.

Of course, Yang Wu had already become Black Warrior by fusing with the Xueluo Crystal, so he was naturally able to reach a hundredfold Gene Level by fusing with the Blood of the Beast God.

However, Yang Wu was also very clear in his heart that although he had obtained the reward of the Blood of the Beast God so easily, this reward was by no means as simple as the Nine Sword Venerable had said. It was prepared by the clan for the Black Warrior.

After all, Yang Wu had put in a lot of effort in the last simulation, and only by fusing with the Blood of the Beast God could he increase his Life Gene to a hundred times that of ordinary life in the universe.

The fact that he was able to obtain the Blood of the Beast God so easily this time is likely due to his even more astonishing talent and comprehension.

Yang Wu's guess was correct; the Blood of the Beast God was indeed applied for for him by the Lord of Longxing.

The 'Burning Heaven Treasure Mirror' is the private collection of the Lord of Longxing, so it can be bestowed directly. However, the Blood of the Beast God is a shared resource of the Human Race, and it requires an application to be issued. That's why it was only issued after Yang Wu arrived at the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.

This is the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters, so naturally there is no danger here.

Therefore, after receiving the Blood of the Beast God, the Nine Sword Venerable let Yang Wu return to the Initial Universe on his own, while he himself went to the Cosmic Secret Realm located within the Canglong Universe Kingdom.

After returning to his Cultivation Residence, Yang Wu took out a silver briefcase from his Space Ring.

Yang Wu gently opened the briefcase and saw 90 transparent transistors neatly arranged inside, each containing drops of golden blood that emitted a dazzling light.

As Yang Wu felt the surging energy contained within the golden blood, he could faintly hear the roars of the Golden Beast God.

Looking at the Blood of the Beast God before him, Yang Wu did not use it immediately, but instead secretly made a plan in his mind.

"Logically speaking, my original Life Gene Level was already four times that of ordinary life in the universe. After becoming Black Warrior, it reached an astonishing forty times. If I could fuse with one hundred drops of Blood of the Beast God, my Life Gene should be able to reach four hundred times."

"According to the information I've researched, the limit for Life Gene in the universe is a hundredfold increase! This is part of the Law governing the universe, just like the fastest speed in the Original Universe could only reach the speed of light—it's an ironclad rule."

"And the only thing capable of defying the Law governing this universe is the <Nine Stages Secret Manual> created by the Reincarnated God King Mountain Sitting Guest, and... the life of the Yan God Race!"

"As far as I'm concerned, since my Earthling Main Body hasn't cultivated the <Nine Tribulations Secret Manual>, my combat power before becoming the Universe Master should be inferior to that of the Yan God Race Clone. As the saying goes, 'a powerful alliance,' this precious Blood of the Beast God should naturally be prioritized for the Flame Yan God Race Clone, who has greater potential! Later, when I have more wealth, I'll let my main self fuse with the Blood of the Beast God!"

Thinking of this, Yang Wu quickly switched his consciousness to the Yan God Race Clone was cultivating in seclusion in the Time Palace.

During this period, the Yan God Race Clone had been diligently cultivating within the Time Palace at five times the time flow rate, and he never slacked off even while on his way to see the Lord of Longxing.

To facilitate the fusion of the Yan God Race Clone with the Xueluo Crystal, Yang Wu had left a considerable amount of Xueluo Crystal in his Space Ring, so there was no need to continue sending over Xueluo Crystal.

Time Palace, the Yan God Race Clone sat cross-legged in meditation.

"Although fusing with the Xueluo Crystal requires a high level of physical genes, the current Life Gene Level of the Yan God Race Clone is much higher than that of the original Earthling Main Body. It should be able to become Black Warrior!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

When Yang Wu fused with the Xueluo Crystal, his Earthling Main Body's Life Gene Level was only four times that of his human self. The reason he was able to become Black Warrior was entirely due to the transformation of his body by the Evil Qi.

But now that the Yan God Race Clone has broken through to the World Lord, its own Life Gene Level alone is eight times that of ordinary life in the universe, so fusing with the Xueluo Crystal should be much easier.

Let's begin!

With a flick of his hand, the Yan God Race Clone produced a Xueluo Crystal.

Xueluo Crystal is a long, triangular prism-shaped crystal, entirely blood-red, subtly transparent, emitting an invisible fluctuation, much like the beating of a heart.

The Yan God Race Clone lightly made a cut on his palm, causing a wound to appear and blood to seep out, directly touching the Xueluo Crystal.

Evil Qi invasion, body modification...

Yang Wu was already extremely familiar with the process of fusing with the Xueluo Crystal, and with his current astonishing willpower, this pain was like a gentle breeze.

A moment later.

After the fifth Xueluo Crystal was successfully fused, Yang Wu felt very calm.

"Halfway there, hopefully I can become Black Warrior!" The Yan God Race Clone flipped his hand and took out the sixth Xueluo Crystal.

The sixth one!

The seventh one!

The eighth one!

Just as Yang Wu was fusing with the ninth Xueluo Crystal, he easily blocked the invasion of the Evil Qi, but after the Xueluo Power surged into the Yan God Race Clone...

Click!

The sound of bones breaking echoed continuously.

Immediately, the strange Xueluo Power returned to the almost transparent Xueluo Crystal, and the ninth fusion failed!

"It's a pity I couldn't become Black Warrior!" Yang Wu sighed inwardly. "However, being able to fuse eight is already quite good, after all, the Yan God Race Clone hasn't been affected or modified by the Evil Qi."

"Besides the transformation caused by the Evil Qi, slaughter is also beneficial for fusing with the Xueluo Crystal!" Yang Wu thought to himself. "Moreover, the evolution of the Yan God Race Clone itself seems to be related to combat. It seems that on the journey to the Outer-Region Battlefield, my Yan God Race Clone will have to go on a killing spree!"

"Once the body is modified to be more suitable for fusing with Xueluo Crystal, or once the Life Gene Level is improved, the Yan God Race Clone can continue to fuse with Xueluo Crystal to become Black Warrior."

Yang Wu was not disappointed that the Yan God Race Clone failed to fuse with the Xueluo Crystal, after all, the potential of the Yan God Race Clone had only been shown to a very small extent.

After the Yan God Race Clone fused with the Xueluo Crystal, Yang Wu once again began to devote himself to cultivation.

The Time Palace can still operate for a while, so Yang Wu plans to go to the Outer-Region Battlefield after the first simulation at the World Lord Level, so that his own strength can be further enhanced.

After all, with his current strength, he could at most deal with high-ranking Immortal God at the High-level Marquis on the Outer-Region Battlefield. It was simply impossible for him to accumulate the massive resources needed to maintain the operation of the Time Palace.

During this time, Yang Wu could also examine the several Heavy Treasure he had acquired.

As for the Blood of the Beast God that he received, Yang Wu carefully preserved it, intending to use it after his Yan God Race Clone became Black Warrior.
