"So what are your plans next?" Ai Chen asked hurriedly.
"I didn't carry out any missions during my time Domain Lord, so I still need to complete the tasks assigned by the company first. After that, I will go to the Outer Domain Battlefield, which is where you can truly become a strong person," Zhang Junbao said.
Virtual Universe Company has a fixed plan for the training of its Core Member. Universe Level geniuses are still in their infancy, so they can naturally train in the secret realms within Virtual Universe Company. These secret realms are strictly selected and are most suitable for Universe Level geniuses to undergo life-and-death trials.
Domain Lord Level refers to young people who are sent to various Universe Country to take on important positions. This is both to temper their minds and to let these geniuses who have worked hard all the way see the true face of the universe.
In many cosmic empires, those at the World Lord Level are already powerful figures. For example, in the former Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the Time World Lord was considered an extremely powerful being.
The Virtual Universe Company believes that World Lord Level are already adults and need to undergo true trials of blood and fire. Sending them to the Outer Domain Battlefield to fight against Alien Race will allow them to see the cruelty of the universe and understand that they can cultivate peacefully because countless World Lord, Immortal, and even stronger beings are fighting to protect Human Territory.
The Outer Domain Battlefield is ruthless and merciless, completely different from previous training. Compared to the Outer Domain Battlefield, the previous training was nothing more than child's play.
" The Outer Domain Battlefield, the most brutal place. It is said that those Alien Race even eat humans alive, they are incredibly cruel. When we get there..." Ai Chen said somewhat nervously.
"Hahaha, the reason they are Alien Race is that they are completely different from us humans. In their eyes, devouring humans is probably no different from what we usually eat."
That was a battlefield, and only the survivors had a real voice. Let alone Alien Race, even more horrific things would happen in the struggle for survival.
"If you're not prepared to give up everything and fight to the death, you'll likely have a hard time surviving on the Outer Domain Battlefield." Zhang Junbao laughed loudly. He had long seen through the true nature of war; the cruelty of racial warfare would only exceed his imagination.
"If we go to the Outer Domain Battlefield, won't our survival be in jeopardy?"
"The survival of all things in the universe boils down to one word: 'struggle'."
The essence of life is to embrace the outside world and transform it into something new, using all external things as nourishment to strengthen oneself.
Although the universe is extremely vast, countless living beings inhabit it.
This applies to the weak as well as the strong.
Even powerful entities like the Virtual Universe Company, and even the entire Human Race of the universe, are all vying for power.
"How many competitors did we eliminate when we joined the Virtual Universe Company in order to obtain better resources?"
How many resources will Human Race need to acquire to avoid being wiped out by other cosmic forces?
The vast resources within the Virtual Universe Company didn't grow on the ground; they were seized from the hands of countless powerful individuals who fought against Alien Race races.
"As human beings, as members of the universe, we cannot escape this fate. The Outer Domain Battlefield is a bloody place, but it is also fertile ground for the rapid growth of the strong."
We have no right to criticize the arrangements of the Virtual Universe, because the fact that we can stand here quietly and speak is the result of countless powerful human beings fighting bloody battles.
"It's just that once we reach the World Lord Level, we will eventually grow into that kind of person."
"You... you don't feel the slightest fear. Those Alien Race are powerful and cruel." A complex look appeared in Ai Chen's eyes. The Outer Domain Battlefield can be described as a demon to countless geniuses.
There, no one cares about your identity. Once the identity of Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company is exposed, it will only attract countless Alien Race to hunt you down. For them, killing a Core Member means a lot of military merit.
"I've said it before, it's all just about survival."
The war between races is one in which there is no room for retreat.
The path to the strong is one that we cannot afford to slacken.
A strong person is not only powerful, but also possesses unwavering inner strength.
"I think I understand now. You really are different from us. Perhaps I should find some time to go to Earth for some mental cultivation." Ai Chen nodded.
"You will inevitably have to go to the Outer Domain Battlefield, and you can't avoid it either. Now that you are already at the Domain Lord Level, you might as well devote yourself to cultivation, accumulate more experience, and you can also practice more secret techniques to prepare for proving Immortal."
The path to Immortal begins from the very first day of cultivation.
"If you wish to go to Earth, I can offer you a spot. I hope that on the path to Immortal, you will have a place."
After saying this, Zhang Junbao put his hands behind his back and drifted away.
"Master, we just received a cultivation spot on Earth. You can go to Earth at any time. This is a precious spot worth ten million Hunyuan Unit!"
After Zhang Junbao left, Ai Chen's smart assistant gave him a reminder.
"This...!" Ai Chen was shocked, but his eyes showed a newfound determination. "The path to Immortal is about going against the current; how could I back down!"
Zhang Junbao returned to Heaven-Questioning Residence to purchase items needed for his training mission.
"Over the years, I have almost figured out the Third Diagram of the Universe Chaos Stele, but I still have no clue about the Fourth Diagram."
My comprehension of the Law must continue. My body is being infused with a large amount of Universe Origin power. Even without using the Nutrient Pod provided by the company, I will soon reach the Peak World Lord.
"Because of the Clone Secret Technique, the Life Gene Level of the Extreme Yang Clone has been stabilized at 50 times. Moreover, this time not only did my main body break through to the World Lord Level, but the Extreme Yang Clone also broke through to the World Lord Level at the same time."
Now that the Clone's life genes have been stabilized, it can exchange genes with the main body to strengthen the main body's Gene Level.
The Clone Secret Technique, passed down from the Ancestral God, is called "One Qi Transforms into Three Purities" by Zhang Junbao. Its power lies in its ability to continuously absorb the genes of powerful Special Lifeform through Clone, thereby strengthening its own Life Gene Level.
Once the Clone's Life Gene Level stabilizes, it can exchange genes with the main body, allowing the main body to reach the same level of Life Gene Level as the Clone.
However, the Clone's absorption of genes is not without risk. If it absorbs an overly powerful gene, the Clone's genes may collapse directly.
If the Clone's genes are not stabilized before it rashly exchanges genes with the original body, it may even cause the original body's genes to collapse, resulting in death and dissipation.
"Powerful secret techniques come with equally great risks. But even with such risks, it remains an incomparably powerful secret technique."
The Clone was used as an experimental subject to verify the stability of the fused gene sequence before the original body was modified.
Fortunately, I didn't use Senior Brother Luanshen's genes directly back then. His Life Gene Level was too high. Even now, if I rashly merged with them, it would definitely cause my life gene to collapse.
When the Ancestral God created this secret technique, his own Life Gene Level must have already been quite high, which allowed him to recklessly enhance his Life Gene Level.
" The Divine Power of the Immortal Army Lord is about one hundred to one thousand times that of the Peak World Lord. Although I am not as strong as them in terms of basic power, after I advanced to World Lord, the Space-Time Domain characteristics of the Fusion Law have been completely integrated into the World Projection."
In other words, within my World Projection, I can Control of Space-Time.
With the suppression of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, once they enter the World Projection, the outcome is already decided.
Zhang Junbao's battles mostly involve not directly clashing with his enemies in terms of strength, but rather using his powerful control over the Law to suppress them, rendering them unable to move and allowing his domain to erode their power.
"However, my basic strength and Law Comprehension are indeed somewhat weaker. It's a pity that the Virtual Universe Company doesn't have any genes left behind by powerful Special Lifeform from the universe; I can only rely on myself to search for them in the universe."
"Now, let's first elevate the Life Gene Level."
The crimson armor turned into a pool of liquid, slowly sliding off his body, and finally coalescing into another Zhang Junbao.
"The main body is ready. Although I have confirmed that the life genes within me are stable, only the Ancestral God knows what will happen when it merges with the main body."
Zhang Junbao nodded. He naturally knew what the Extreme Yang Clone was worried about. However, he had already cultivated the secret technique of One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, and even the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual was rejecting it.
Finding other secret methods to elevate the Life Gene Level is virtually impossible. Whether such methods exist elsewhere in the universe is unknown, and Zhang Junbao dared not even dream of it.
Now we can only keep exploring and perfecting this secret method.
"I'm starting!"
The Extreme Yang Clone once again turned into liquid, but this time, it completely seeped into Zhang Junbao's main body's cells and genes, gradually altering Zhang Junbao's genes using its own.
Such pain was unprecedented. One Qi Transforms into Three Purities Secret Technique was activated, Zhang Junbao was enveloped in a layer of Blood Mist, with blood droplets and scarlet liquid intertwined on his body.
At the same time, the Life Core within Zhang Junbao's body emitted a buzzing sound, raising the Life Gene Level and also modifying the Life Core.
Only when the Life Core is successfully upgraded together can this upgrade of the Life Gene Level be considered truly complete.
As World Lord, Zhang Junbao's core is his Life Core. Even if his physical body collapses, as long as his Life Core remains, he can still use the World Power to condense a physical body.
"Buzzing..."
Zhang Junbao's Life Core trembled slightly, and even his entire Internal World trembled along with it. The nine continents in his Internal World seemed to be drawn by some kind of force, generating strange Law fluctuations between them, and actually synchronized with Zhang Junbao's physical body as if breathing.
Zhang Junbao was resolute and pure of heart.
He maintains a clear mind, seeing all suffering as a form of tempering, and endures hardship without weariness—this is the way of the strong.
The path of cultivation emphasizes breaking down and rebuilding. At this moment, Zhang Junbao's body was already shattered, and it was being reorganized at the genetic level. Pain spread to every part of his genes, and even his Life Core was covered with tiny cracks. These cracks seemed to form strange Secret Pattern Diagram, enveloping the Life Core.
"Oh no! The Life Core has cracked?"
A startled cry echoed from Zhang Junbao's soul.
He hadn't expected that a mere 50-fold increase in Gene Level would be so dangerous. Every Special Lifeform in the universe is favored by the Universe Origin. But Zhang Junbao wanted to forcibly break this rule with the power of his secret technique, so the challenges he would face were naturally extraordinary.
Once the Life Core is completely shattered, his soul will also shatter, and he will die and his life will be extinguished.
"My will is as vast as the universe, capable of encompassing countless lives. Guided by the Taiji principle, I will forever govern the world!"
Within Zhang Junbao's Internal World, under the command of the Ancestral God Lingxi, nine Law Core landed above nine continents, unleashing a torrent of Power of Law to suppress Zhang Junbao's Internal World.
At the same time, a vast World Power surged forth from within Zhang Junbao's Internal World, continuously repairing his Life Core and physical body.
"Life returns, genes are rebuilt!"
Zhang Junbao roared, and a large amount of World Power enveloped his body, continuously repairing the cracks on it.
The cracks that appeared on Zhang Junbao's Life Core Life Core were actually engraved on it like secret runes, and those cracks were being rapidly repaired by the World Power, reforging the Origin Core.
His Internal World was completely consolidated, forming a stable world once again, just like before.
The complexity involved is beyond words.
Finally, the Extreme Yang Clone slowly withdrew from Zhang Junbao's body, and his main body was reassembled.
"It was really too dangerous. If I hadn't mastered the Fusion Law, making my Internal World incredibly stable, the process of raising my Life Gene Level would have turned my soul to ashes."
"Fortunately, it was a success. My Life Gene Level has increased fiftyfold, which can be considered as crossing the threshold into the realm of Special Lifeform in the universe."
"Although it can't compare to the Life Gene Level of those top-tier cosmic Special Lifeform thousands of times higher, it's enough to prove that this secret method is indeed feasible."
"To continue improving, all I need to do is keep searching for Special Lifeform in the universe and fuse with their life genes; my strength will inevitably continue to soar!"
After the danger came endless joy.
Now, Ordinary Immortal are no match for Zhang Junbao; they can only be beaten down.
Zhang Junbao stood up, his hands forming a fist, and immense power converged between them like a tidal wave, causing spacetime to distort rapidly, and a small black hole was born in Zhang Junbao's hands.
" The Taiji Cloud Hands alone possess such power. The power to Control of Space-Time and time has also become stronger as my Life Gene Level has increased."
Even the essence of my soul was enhanced several times over because of this.
"Could the strange runes on my Life Core be proof of this advancement in my Life Gene Level?"
"A mere 50-fold increase in the Life Gene Level is already so terrifying; if it were a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold or ten thousandfold, blasting apart an entire star field with a single punch would be no problem."
"It's time to gain some experience. Feitian, notify the Virtual Universe Company that I'm ready to carry out the mission."
"Yes, Master!"
