The Lord of Sky Wolf's Scheme

Chaos City Lord glanced at him and said slowly, "The Lord of Sky Wolf is the second-strongest member of the Demon Race and a Sixth-Order Peak Universe Master. His Gene Level is over eight thousand times, and he possesses a Flying Palace-type Peak Supreme Treasure, the Sky Wolf Palace. Its defenses are astonishing. As for speed, when the Sky Wolf Palace is driven at full power, even I can't catch him. As for offense, he cultivates the Demon Race's Path of Devouring, which allows him to devour his enemies' Divine Power and turn it to his own use. The longer he fights, the stronger he becomes."

"Worse still, he has at least five Universe Master Level followers at his side. Among them are the Lord of Silver Blades of the Machine Race and the Lord of Mother Emperor of the Zerg, both fifth-order powerhouses. Add the Lord of Stars, who may be hiding in the shadows, and their overall combat strength far exceeds ours."

After hearing this, Qin Yuan fell silent for a moment, then asked a question that caught everyone off guard:

"What if... I could break through to a higher Gene Level in a short time?"

Chaos City Lord froze. So did everyone else.

"Break through your Gene Level?" Lord Peng Gong's eyes widened. "What's yours at now, kid?"

"Two thousand two hundred times," Qin Yuan answered truthfully.

"Two thousand two hundred?" Lord Huang Jian sucked in a cold breath. "You're a newly advanced Universe Master, and your Gene Level is already higher than mine, an old fellow like me?"

Lord Peng Gong's expression also turned strange. "I remember your Gene Level was only a hundred times when you first broke through to Universe Master, wasn't it? How long has it been? A month? Two? And you're already at two thousand two hundred times?"

Qin Yuan did not explain about the system. He simply said, "I have a special cultivation method that can quickly raise my Gene Level, but it requires a lot of resources. If I have enough, I'm confident I can raise my Gene Level another step in a short time."

Chaos City Lord gave Qin Yuan a long look. Rather than press him about his secret, he asked directly, "What resources do you need?"

"Energy crystals, the more the better. Soul Crystals, the higher the quality the better. And-Supreme Treasures," Qin Yuan said. "Any Supreme Treasures will do, Elementary-grade, Medium-grade, High-grade. I have a way to convert them into energy to raise my Gene Level."

By "convert," he actually meant exchanging them for system points, then using the points to buy Divine Body Tempering Cards. Ten thousand points could raise his Gene Level by a hundred times. As long as he had enough Supreme Treasures and resources, his Gene Level could soar rapidly.

Chaos City Lord pondered for a moment, then flipped his hand over, and a World Ring appeared in his palm.

"Inside is the stockpile of Supreme Treasures I've accumulated over the years: thirteen Elementary Supreme Treasures, five Medium-grade Supreme Treasures, and two High-grade Supreme Treasures. There are also three hundred thousand energy crystals and a thousand high-grade Soul Crystals. Is that enough?"

Qin Yuan took the ring and sent his Divine Power inside. He was shaken. Chaos City Lord truly was a veteran Universe Master who had lived for over ten billion years; the richness of his collection far exceeded Qin Yuan's imagination.

System, appraise them.

[Appraising...]

[Elementary Supreme Treasures ×13: exchangeable for approximately 9,000 points]

[Medium-grade Supreme Treasures ×5: exchangeable for approximately 7,500 points]

[High-grade Supreme Treasures ×2: exchangeable for approximately 6,000 points]

[300,000 energy crystals: exchangeable for approximately 3,000 points]

[1,000 high-grade Soul Crystals: exchangeable for approximately 4,000 points]

[Total exchangeable: approximately 29,500 points]

Nearly thirty thousand points!

"Enough!" Qin Yuan nodded without hesitation. "These resources are enough for me to raise my Gene Level to a whole new height."

"Good." Chaos City Lord did not ask exactly how he would raise it. He simply patted him on the shoulder. "Qin Yuan, you are the future of the Human Race. If these worldly possessions can help you grow, they're worth it."

A warm current welled up in Qin Yuan's heart, and he bowed solemnly to Chaos City Lord. "City Lord, I won't disappoint you."

Seeing this, Lord Peng Gong also stepped forward and took five Supreme Treasures and some energy crystals from his World Ring. "Kid, I'm not as wealthy as the City Lord, but these are worth something too. Take them!"

"And me!" Lord Huang Jian also pulled out his own treasures.

Lord of Darkness said nothing, merely handing over a World Ring in silence.

Lord of Ice Peak likewise brought out a batch of resources. A trace of warmth entered his cool voice. "Come back alive."

Qin Yuan looked at the four World Rings in his hands, then at the seniors before him who were willing to give all they had to help. He was overcome by a feeling too deep for words. He took a deep breath and put away all the resources.

System, exchange everything for points.

[Calculating total...]

[Chaos City Lord's contribution: approximately 29,500 points]

[Lord Peng Gong's contribution: approximately 6,500 points]

[Lord Huang Jian's contribution: approximately 4,000 points]

[Lord of Darkness's contribution: approximately 8,000 points]

[Lord of Ice Peak's contribution: approximately 5,000 points]

[Host's existing points: 2,400]

[Total points: 55,400]

Fifty-five thousand four hundred points!

Qin Yuan took a deep breath and opened the system shop.

System, exchange for five Divine Body Tempering Cards.

[Divine Body Tempering Card (100 times) ×5, total cost: 50,000 points. Confirm exchange?]

Confirm.

[50,000 points deducted. Remaining points: 5,400.]

[Obtained Divine Body Tempering Card (100 times) ×5.]

Use them all.

The five Divine Body Tempering Cards turned into five streams of golden light at once and surged into Qin Yuan's divine body. An incomparably vast energy exploded inside him, like five golden dragons churning and roaring within his body, frantically tempering every cell, every strand of Divine Power, and every trace of his genes.

A hundred times... two hundred times... three hundred times...

Qin Yuan's Gene Level climbed wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

2,300 times... 2,500 times... 2,800 times...

When the energy of the fifth Divine Body Tempering Card had been completely absorbed, Qin Yuan's Gene Level settled firmly at a whole new height-

2,700 times!

From 2,200 to 2,700 times, his Gene Level had risen by a full 500 times in one go!

Qin Yuan clenched his fists, feeling the power surging inside him, nearly overflowing. Excitement flashed in his eyes. A Gene Level of 2,700 times, combined with mastery-level Time Law and Space Law, the Peak Domain Supreme Treasure Star River Domain, and the ultimate secret technique Time-Space: Space Shattering-his overall combat strength had now firmly crossed the threshold of a Sixth-Order Universe Master!

If he encountered the Lord of Stars again, he was confident he could defeat him head-on, rather than merely force him back with difficulty!

"How is it?" Chaos City Lord asked.

Qin Yuan raised his head, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. "I can fight him."

A faint smile appeared on Chaos City Lord's face. "Good! Then we won't wait any longer. Tomorrow, we head to the Void Hall. Since the Lord of Sky Wolf wants to sit by a tree stump waiting for a rabbit, we'll let him know that what he's waiting for isn't a rabbit, but a fierce tiger."
