A Teacher's Grace Is as High as a Mountain

"Where do you think you're going!" Gulanxiu shouted loudly! At the same time, he chased after Tiger Biao Marquis. The powerful Space Law made Gulanxiu's movement seem like Teleportation. Although the basics were very different, his speed was actually a fraction faster!

"Human! I have already notified the other powerful members of my Beast God Race! They will be here soon, and it will be difficult for you to kill me in a short time! If you don't let me leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave soon," said Tiger Biao Marquis, his words a mix of bravado and fear.

In its view, Gulanxiu could fight him to a standstill even without burning his divine power, but once he burned his divine power, he could kill him quickly. The reason why he hasn't burned his divine power yet is probably because he doesn't want to waste it. After all, the Human Race's Divine Body is too small, which is a big disadvantage in battles of the same level. If he were to expend more divine power, Gulanxiu would probably have to return to the territory to recover.

Tiger Biao Marquis's words stirred something within Gulanxiu. He knew that what Tiger Biao Marquis said was most likely true, and it seemed that he had no choice but to end the battle quickly.

Thinking of this, Gulanxiu quickly put the Blood God Axe into his World Ring and replaced it with a giant black Great Axe that was three meters long and had a blade about one meter in size. It was the Enlightening Divine Axe, Supreme Treasure given to Gulanxiu by the Giant Axe Founder. As soon as the Great Axe was taken out, the aura on Gulanxiu's body merged with the Enlightening Divine Axe!

Gulanxiu roared, "Take another one of my axe blows!"

As he spoke, the Great Axe swung out suddenly, and everything in its path turned pitch black. The illusory, earth-yellow Qilin phantom seemed to solidify a bit. Faced with this overwhelming axe blow, Tiger Biao Marquis's expression changed drastically. His claws slid rapidly in the air, forming an impenetrable wall, attempting to block this sure-kill axe.

But the power of Supreme Treasure is no ordinary thing. With a loud "boom!", Tiger Biao Marquis's body was instantly shattered into pieces!

However, a moment later, Tiger Biao Marquis's Divine Body re-condensed in the void, but judging from its much weaker aura, the axe blow had destroyed a large amount of its divine power.

At this moment, Tiger Biao Marquis looked at Gulanxiu not far away with fear, and a trace of despair rose in his heart. He thought to himself, "He actually destroyed forty percent of my Divine Body with one axe. If it weren't for the fact that my Divine Body is much larger than that of Human Race, he could have killed me with one axe! Now my Divine Body is only a little over fifty percent left, and my strength is only one-tenth of what it was at its peak. If he hits me again, he can kill me! This time I'm doomed."

Thinking this, Tiger Biao Marquis mustered his divine power and prepared to self-destruct. He thought that his self-destruction would at least destroy some of Gulanxiu's divine power. Since he was already doomed, he might as well make his death worthwhile. What if Gulanxiu would suffer a loss in the next battle because of this little bit of divine power?

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Just as it was about to self-destruct, a sound that sounded like a chirp or a roar was suddenly heard!

It only felt its consciousness sink and then it lost its perception of the outside world.

With a deafening boom, another axe struck Tiger Biao Marquis, but this time the power was far less than the previous one. It did not kill him as Tiger Biao Marquis had hoped. Instead, Tiger Biao Marquis's aura weakened once more, and he fell into a deep sleep.

This axe strike was meticulously calculated by Gulanxiu. Having fought Tiger Biao Marquis for a long time, he had gained a comprehensive understanding of Tiger Biao Marquis's strength. After unleashing his full power with this axe strike, he roughly calculated Tiger Biao Marquis 'Tiger Biao Marquis limit of endurance from his aura. Therefore, after calculation, he first used the Beast God Roar to momentarily disorient Tiger Biao Marquis, preventing him from self-destructing, and then swung the axe strike with reduced power. His aim was to wound Tiger Biao Marquis without killing him, and then feed him to Green Lotus.

After Gulanxiu put away the sleeping Tiger Biao Marquis and tossed it to Green Lotus for absorption, he quickly left the battlefield. Since Tiger Biao Marquis had called for his teammates, powerful Demon Race could descend at any moment! He couldn't linger.

Inside the spaceship, Gulanxiu sighed, "This Star Domain Battlefield is truly difficult. I used almost every trick in the book to barely defeat a Early Marquis. Wrong! My strength is still too weak! I don't know how those geniuses of the Human Race, who only emerge once every tens of millions of epochs, managed to kill Peak Marquis comparable to Peak King while only being Realm Lord!"

Gulanxiu couldn't help but sigh. His current Law Comprehension was equivalent to the Initial King, but with Gene Multiplier of one hundred times, his basic strength was only comparable to the lowest-level Immortal. Thanks to his superior Law Comprehension, his overall strength was slightly stronger than the High-level Marquis and close to the Peak Marquis.

However, this only refers to the normal Marquis-level. After becoming Marquis-level and gaining Undying Body, Immortal God can burn divine power to enhance his strength. Once the divine power is burned, his strength will immediately increase by nearly a thousand times. Even in the early stage of Marquis-level, he can suppress Gulanxiu!

If there is no support, victory can be achieved by slowly depleting the opponent's divine power. However, in the Star Domain Battlefield, the enemy's support can arrive almost at any time. In this situation, a quick battle is necessary. A mere early-stage Marquis-level forced Gulanxiu cards and had to resort to his Supreme Treasure to win!

"We still need to find a way to improve our strength!" Gulanxiu sighed, then began to think.

There are only a few ways to improve one's strength at this stage, the first being to enhance one's Law Comprehension! But his Law Comprehension is already very strong, and further improvement cannot be achieved in a short period of time!

The second point is to cultivate the Amplification Secret Method. However, Gulanxiu had researched this before and found that there weren't many Amplification Secret Method suitable for cultivation at the Realm Lord stage among the Human Race. Moreover, each secret technique had various prerequisites for cultivation, and the final improvement was not significant. At the Realm Lord stage, it would be good if the improvement was several times. Furthermore, he Ice God General Inheritance after ten thousand years, which could improve the Amplification. At this time, it would not be worthwhile to spend resources to cultivate the Amplification Secret Method.

Besides this, there is only one way to improve one's strength: rely on external forces! In the original work, Luo Feng was able to be so heaven-defying at the Realm Lord stage. Although his Law were a factor, the basic power provided by the Yan God Race armor was also indispensable. Without the Yan God Race armor, even with Luo Feng's Law Comprehension, he would not have been able to King-level Invincible at the Realm Lord level.

Although Gulanxiu's current Law are not as powerful as Luo Feng's at the Realm Lord stage in the original story, even a hundred times the basic strength of Peak World Lord is not enough. He must rely on external objects to improve his basic strength.

If we're talking about external objects, Gulanxiu possesses one: the Heavy Metal Stym given to him by the Barbarian Hammer King. Currently, the Heavy Metal Stym is only at the Peak World Lord, possessing only one-time the World Lord Power, making it utterly useless to Gulanxiu at this point.

However, once the Heavy Metal Stym is upgraded to the Immortal Level, it can provide Gulanxiu with the basic power of a World Lord Power ten thousand times. Moreover, the most important thing is that the Heavy Metal Stym can also burn divine power, which makes Gulanxiu completely comparable to the early stage of the King. In addition, with all the treasures Gulanxiu possesses, he can even fight against the Peak King.

Moreover, upgrading the Heavy Metal Stym has another advantage: it conceals the fact that Gulanxiu is actually a Realm Lord. Although the soul-type Heavy Treasure given by the Giant Axe Founder conceals his aura, even the Universe Venerable cannot recognize that Gulanxiu is just a Realm Lord from his aura.

But as Immortal God, the most iconic characteristic is burning Immortal Divine Power! The Tiger Biao Marquis they encountered this time wasn't very strong, so it's somewhat understandable that Gulanxiu didn't burn his divine power!

But Gulanxiu can't always encounter such suitable opponents! If Gulanxiu doesn't burn his divine power no matter what kind of opponent he faces in the future, those Demon Race will probably realize that Gulanxiu is actually a Realm Lord after a little thought. At that time, Gulanxiu will face an overwhelming siege by the powerful Demon Race races. Moreover, since there are no rules in the Star Domain Battlefield now, even the Universe Venerable of the Demon Race may get involved! Even if Gulanxiu manages to escape by chance, he will not be able to come to the Star Domain Battlefield again.

Therefore, upgrading to Heavy Metal Stym is imperative, but unfortunately, upgrading to Heavy Metal Stym is just too expensive.

"Upgrading Heavy Metal Stym to Immortal requires 500 billion points, and my current points are still far from enough! It seems that improving my strength is a long and arduous journey!" Gulanxiu said with a wry smile.

Thanks to his overnight fortune on the Bloodfall Continent, Gulanxiu had never worried about points. Seventy Billion Points were enough for Gulanxiu to squander in the early stages. Even now, the most expensive thing Gulanxiu had ever bought was just a small detector.

However, this time, the gap is simply too large when faced with the astronomical cost of upgrading Heavy Metal Stym.

Killing an early-stage Immortal Marquis-level only grants 10 billion military Military Merit System, which translates to only 100,000 Hunyuan Unit or points. This means that to upgrade to Heavy Metal Stym, one would need to kill 5 million Tiger Biao Marquis, a feat Gulanxiu doesn't have in a short time!

"Looks like I'll have to borrow some money from my teacher first, but I don't know if he has any!" Shaking his head and sighing, Gulanxiu reluctantly logged into the Virtual Universe and arrived at the mansion of the Barbarian Hammer King.

Inside the Virtual Universe 'Barbarian Hammer King's mansion, the Barbarian Hammer King looked at Gulanxiu with surprise and said with a smile, "What brings you here today?"

Looking at the Barbarian Hammer King in front of him, Gulanxiu found it difficult to speak. The Barbarian Hammer King had helped him so much all along, but he hadn't repaid him in any way. Now, he was asking the Barbarian Hammer King for money again. Gulanxiu didn't know what to say. It was like a child who had graduated from university and worked for a few years on Blue Star in his previous life asking his parents for money to buy a house for their wedding. It made him feel terrible!

The Barbarian Hammer King seemed to see through Gulanxiu's embarrassment and said, "Why are you being so fussy, like a woman! What can't we, master and disciple, say to each other!"

After hearing what the Barbarian Hammer King said, Gulanxiu sighed and asked, "Teacher! How much money do you have right now? Lend me some!"

I'll pay you back when I have the money!

The Barbarian Hammer King chuckled and said, "Is that all? How much do you want?"

Gulanxiu said cautiously, "450 billion Hunyuan! Teacher, do you have that? If not, that's okay! I'll think of something else!"

Gulanxiu wasn't sure if the Barbarian Hammer King had that much money. Normally, Peak King's net worth is between 10 Hunyuan and 100 billion Hunyuan. The Barbarian Hammer King had only recently become Peak King, so it might have been even less. Of course, that was before. Now that the Barbarian Hammer King had become the master of the Giant Axe Founder, his status among Human Race had risen a lot, so his net worth should have increased as well. But Gulanxiu didn't know exactly how much.

Of course, he said he would think of a way, but in reality, if the Barbarian Hammer King didn't have so many Gulanxiu, there would be no way. There was only one person he knew who he could easily produce these Hunyuan Unit, and that was the Golden Dragon Venerable!

However, Golden Dragon Venerable has no relation to Gulanxiu. He has already done enough by protecting Gulanxiu for hundreds of years and helping Gulanxiu to gain benefits as much as possible. Letting Gulanxiu ask him for money would only make him look down on Gulanxiu.

Therefore, the Barbarian Hammer King is basically Gulanxiu's last hope. If the Barbarian Hammer King also lacks these abilities, then Gulanxiu will have no chance of upgrading the Heavy Metal Stym to the Immortal Level in a short period of time.

The Barbarian Hammer King was slightly taken aback by Gulanxiu's question, then exclaimed in surprise, "So many!"

However, after a moment, he realized what he meant and asked, "You want to upgrade the Heavy Metal Stym? You have 50 billion Hunyuan?"

The Barbarian Hammer King reacted instantly. He knew that Gulanxiu was probably asking him for money to improve his strength, and the amount Gulanxiu wanted to borrow was about the same as the amount needed to upgrade Stim, so he guessed it immediately. However, he was still surprised that Gulanxiu had 50 billion Hunyuan!

Gulanxiu nodded helplessly and said, "Yes! Upgrading to the Heavy Metal Stym is just too expensive! All my savings are only 50 billion points, I had no other choice but to come to you, Master!"

The Barbarian Hammer King nodded and said, "With your current Law Comprehension, you really deserve an Immortal Level Stim! Don't worry!"

I'm not as poor as you think! Thanks to you, my value has increased dramatically since I became your disciple! Every one of my senior brothers and sisters is at least Universe Venerable, and the little gifts they give me are all incredibly valuable. Plus, I've killed many Peak King on the Star Domain Battlefield over the years, earning a lot of military merits. If I put it all together, I can easily amass 500 billion Hunyuan!

Gulanxiu was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly said, "Teacher! No need for 500 billion, 450 billion will do!"

The Barbarian Hammer King shook his head and said, "I said five hundred billion, and that's five hundred billion. Besides, you don't need to pay me back; this is a gift from your master!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to stop Gulanxiu from interrupting and continued, "Why is it that almost all the Realm Lord of my Human Race who have passed the Eighteenth Floor of Sky Bridge have the power to King? Isn't it because their teachers have prepared special treasures for them! Most of the Realm Lord have passed the Eighteenth Floor of Sky Bridge have Venerable teachers, and the treasures they have prepared for their disciples are no less than those of the Immortal Level Stim!"

Before, I lacked the ability to help you! But now that I do, I will naturally prepare what other disciples have for my own! However, you are exceptionally talented, and this may be the last time I help you. I know my own talent; becoming Venerable is already my limit, and further advancement is practically impossible. But you have a bright future; once you overcome the most difficult early stages, you will surely soar to great heights! Under these circumstances, I will naturally do my best to help you!

Gulanxiu was moved by the words of the Barbarian Hammer King, but he did not refuse again. He and the Barbarian Hammer King were like father and son, and saying more would only create distance. At the same time, he secretly vowed that when he became the ruler of the universe, he would definitely equip his teacher with a complete set of Supreme Treasure. No, he would equip him with two sets, using one and throwing the other away!
