Purple Fire Ape Wine

"Lin Yuan wins! Ladies and gentlemen, we have witnessed the birth of a new Giant Axe Warrior! Although the combat process of this life-death battle was simple, every duelist who achieves one thousand victories has endured immense hardship along the way. Congratulations to Lin Yuan for earning the title of Giant Axe Warrior."

The host announced.

"Lin Yuan! Lin Yuan!"

"Giant Axe Warrior!"

Cheers erupted from the spectator stands.

World Lord Burter felt conflicted. Many in the audience couldn't tell, but he knew the truth.

"This Moriya caused a massive disaster within her clan and was sent by her family to the Great Axe Arena; if she could achieve 1,000 wins, her past transgressions would be wiped clean. In reality, she was abandoned by her family."

"I originally thought Moriya's willpower had reached the peak of the Universe Level and would be just enough to test Lin Yuan, but I didn't expect her to be hiding so much. Another potential talent wasted."

"Lin Yuan is even more gifted than I imagined; he has actually comprehended a trace of the Law of Gold Origin, and his willpower has reached the Domain Lord Level. It seems I must pay closer attention to him."

In a private box, Marquis Yuankun's eyes lit up.

"Not bad. Strong willpower, superior temperament, and talent in comprehending the Law of Earth Origin. He also comes from a slave background, which shows how diligently he trains. Good, I like those who train hard and have strong temperaments; this little guy is suitable to be my disciple."

Marquis Yuankun's figure then vanished.

In the dark universe.

After the life-death battle ended, Lin Yuan boarded a D6-class spacecraft, heading toward the Flame Dragon Star Sector branch of the Great Axe Arena in the Nine Flames Universe Kingdom.

Lin Yuan focused his consciousness into the System Space, centering on the bottle of Purple Fire Ape Wine, feeling exceptionally good.

Lin Yuan remembered that this wine was extremely precious.

Information flooded into Lin Yuan's mind:

Purple Fire Ape Wine, brewed by a unique life form in the universe known as the Purple Fire Ape. The Purple Fire Ape is an energy-based life form that lives long-term in extremely hot volcanic regions; this wine can only be brewed by them. Drinking this wine improves the body and soul, increases the soul's affinity for the Law of Fire Origin, and makes it clearer to perceive.

The energy in Purple Fire Ape Wine is gentle; an ordinary person who is not even ranked would become a Universe Level powerhouse with extreme talent for the Law of Fire Origin upon drinking it.

Lin Yuan was overjoyed; it was exactly as he remembered. If he recalled correctly, a single bottle of Purple Fire Ape Wine could reach a price of 80 billion Hunyuan...

The bottle of Godly Drunkenness he had on him suddenly didn't seem so appealing anymore.

"80 billion Hunyuan."

Lin Yuan's thoughts had previously been on the life-death battle and his training, so he felt a bit dazed now that he possessed such a valuable treasure.

Wait, how was he supposed to sell this bottle of wine? 80 billion Hunyuan was enough to equal the entire net worth of a peak King; if he went directly to the Cosmic Galaxy Bank or sold it on the Virtual Universe, it might cause trouble, and he might be targeted.

Lin Yuan remembered a person with great fortune named Panxi, who accidentally obtained Locke Divine Water worth over 6.3 billion Hunyuan, and Panxi grew from a weakling all the way to the World Lord Level.

But Panxi's reserves of Locke Divine Water were massive, and besides using a portion to cultivate plant-based life forms, he could sell it bit by bit without raising too much suspicion. However, how could he divide this small bottle of Purple Fire Ape Wine? He couldn't exactly sell it drop by drop.

Lin Yuan pondered and felt there were two ways to handle it.

The first way: ignore the bottle for now, and wait until he could enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company or the Great Axe Arena, become a disciple of a King-level invincible powerhouse like King Zhenyan, or a Universe Kingdom Lord, and then sell it when it would be reasonable to do so. If any problems arose, he would have a way to explain it, and someone would be able to protect him.

Joining the core layer was certainly very difficult, but Lin Yuan felt that with his hard work and the help of his cheat, there was hope. The rapid growth of his strength over these past few decades gave him great confidence.

The second way was to drink it directly to increase his affinity for the Law of Fire Origin. By then, he would at least be able to draw more prizes, perhaps even gaining more opportunities for draws.

Besides, he didn't know how long it would take to become a core member, and before that, he might even draw a prize of higher value.

Hmm... he would choose to drink it directly, once the Bio-chip was removed. Lin Yuan made his decision.

"Lin Yuan, becoming a Giant Axe Warrior is not easy. Congratulations."

That Domain Lord-level supervisor was also on this spacecraft.

"Thank you, my lord. I was just lucky."

"We are currently about 2.4 million light-years away from the Nine Flames branch, with less than thirty days left to arrive. Someone will help you remove the Bio-chip then, and I will personally present you with the Giant Axe Medal."

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator who earns the Universe Level Giant Axe Warrior title has a fifty percent chance of becoming a Domain Lord. Therefore, the task of awarding the Giant Axe Medal is usually handled by a Domain Lord, which is also a sign of respect for the Giant Axe Warrior.

"After that, Supervisor Burter wishes to see you."

"Supervisor Burter?"

"Supervisor Burter is the manager in charge of the Universe Level and Domain Lord Level Great Axe life-death battles in the Flame Dragon Star Sector. He is a World Lord recognized by the Law of Lightning Origin. His strength is extremely formidable!"

Lin Yuan was shocked; a peak World Lord wanted to see him.

Could it be that he wanted to take him as a disciple? Or was there some other matter?

He had traveled for so long, and he had yet to meet a World Lord-level powerhouse.

Twenty days later, the spacecraft landed at the Flame Dragon Star Sector branch of the Great Axe Arena.

Just as they landed, a World Lord was actually waiting there in advance.

This World Lord was three meters tall, wore a green robe, had two sharp horns on his head, golden light swirled in his eyes, and there was a golden scimitar on his forehead. Another World Lord recognized by the laws.

"Leave this little guy behind; I have something to say to him."

He spoke to the Domain Lord supervisor standing beside Lin Yuan.

"Yes, my lord."

The Domain Lord didn't dare to breathe too loudly and quickly departed.

"Greetings, my lord."

Lin Yuan bowed to the World Lord before him.

"Haha, Lin Yuan, right? I am Saiwen, affiliated with the Seventh Legion of the Nine Flames Universe Kingdom. I watched your previous life-and-death battle; you have great talent in law comprehension, and your willpower is also quite impressive."

"It was just luck, thank you for the praise, my lord."

"There is no need for modesty. I have come today to tell you that my teacher, Marquis Yuankun, appreciates you very much and intends to take you on as a disciple. My teacher is a peak Marquis-level powerhouse, and his strength ranks among the top few of the four hundred Marquises in the Nine Flames Universe Kingdom. Are you willing?"

"This..."

Lin Yuan only thought for a brief moment.

"My lord, I am willing."

"Good! Once you have finished your business here, come with me."

"By the way, I must warn you first: if the people from the Great Axe Arena invite you to become an outer member later, you may agree, but do not get too deeply involved with them. Outer members are not valued at all, nor do they receive much in the way of resources or training."

"Even if you become an inner member, the benefits you receive compared to their core members are like heaven and earth. If you become an inner member, you must do whatever they command, and it will be very difficult to extricate yourself in the future."

"With your current talent, developing here is, one could say, a waste of time. It is fine to just hold a title as an outer member."

"Becoming my teacher's disciple will yield you far greater gains."

"Also, you must not break through to become a Domain Lord just yet. You are only twenty thousand years old; you will have many opportunities to participate in the Peak Warrior Tournament in the future. Your talent is good, so perhaps after participating ten or eight times, you will truly enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company or the Great Axe Arena, haha."

Lin Yuan was stunned.

"Go on, I will be waiting for you on my spaceship. Once you have finished handling your affairs, come here to find me."

"Yes, Lord Saiwen."
