There is a space 50,000 kilometers underground.
Lu Qingshan slowly opened his eyes.
His clothes were completely rotten, his skin was loose and covered with age spots, making him look even Old than the ascetic disguised as the Ghost King Avatar.
The surrounding solid rocks all smelled of decay and mold; they would crumble into dust at the slightest touch.
Lu Qingshan stood up, and gray armor gradually appeared on his body. At the same time, his skin gradually began to regain its activity, and soon he returned to the appearance of a normal person.
"After a hundred years of arduous cultivation, I have finally perfected the Third Layer of the Body of Time, and my physical exertion has gained a 32-fold amplification!"
Lu Qingshan felt a surge of excitement.
It should be noted that when the Ghost King Avatar received the inheritance in that wondrous place, it only gained a 50-fold amplification, and Luo Feng's Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance only resulted in a 32-fold Soul Amplitude.
His Human Main Body seemed to have undergone a Divine General Inheritance.
Lu Qingshan looked around.
The ground was littered with the remains of treasures. Before leaving Chaos City, he had prepared treasures worth billions of points to aid his cultivation, but now they had all turned to ashes...
The most crucial Time Compass was now equally dim, its corrosive power completely depleted.
However, for Lu Qingshan, who already knew how to recharge the Time Compass, this was nothing. As long as he killed three Alien Race Marquis, the energy on the Time Compass would be restored again.
The only thing he lacks now is a treasure to aid in cultivating the Fourth Layer of the Body of Time.
The Third Layer requires billions of points, and the resources required for the Fourth Layer are probably too much for even a Peak King to afford, even if they sold everything they owned.
Lu Qingshan's gaze swept over the few Black Jade Glazed Fruit in his Internal World. Money was not a problem... He still had four Black Jade Glazed Fruit. Based on the calculation of 300 billion Hunyuan Unit, selling them all could probably get him 1.2 trillion Hunyuan Unit.
This amount of money should be enough!
Lu Qingshan wasn't entirely sure either. He only knew that cultivation required the assistance of treasures, but the exact number needed depended on the efficiency of cultivation. However, being well-prepared was definitely the best approach, since there was Fifth Layer after the Fourth Layer... The Body of Time was a secret technique that could be cultivated to a hundredfold amplification.
"Let's see if the second layer of the Time Overlord Emperor Armor can be activated!"
Having doubled his strength, Lu Qingshan began to explore the Heavy Treasure Armor. Before this, he had already comprehended the Second Layer layer of secret runes, but he lacked the strength to activate them.
Blood Luo Power...
Driven by Lu Qingshan, a mysterious and Elder Gu rune appeared on his chest, and he could feel that his strength had doubled.
amplitude!!
Lu Qingshan activated his full Body Amplitude.
With a 32-fold amplitude and the Blood Luo Power, his strength increased by approximately 64 times.
However, the Time Overlord Emperor Armor remained completely still... only the Second Layer layer of runes flickered faintly.
"It still doesn't work!"
Lu Qingshan withdrew all the amplitude effects, indicating that he was still far from activating the Second Layer the Time Overlord Emperor Armor.
Lu Qingshan looked at those True Treasure runes. He had thoroughly studied the Second Layer of runes, but unfortunately, his foundation was still not up to par, so he couldn't activate them at all.
If he could activate this Second Layer layer of secret runes, killing King-level Immortal would be much easier for him.
At this time, the Second Layer layer of the Time Overlord Emperor Armor's secret runes can boost one's strength to 10,000 times the World Lord Power. With Lu Qingshan's amplification, that's 320,000 times the World Lord Power, which is already the basic strength of the Peak King.
With such a massive foundation of power, combined with True Treasure and other means, killing a High King would not be difficult.
But you're overthinking it now.
If you can't activate the Second Layer layer of the True Treasure's secret runes, then saying anything is pointless.
Activating the second layer of the treasure's secret runes would probably require at least a hundred times the power of a realm lord, Lu Qingshan sighed.
To achieve this goal, one must either continue fusing with the Blood Luo Crystal and become Black Warrior, or increase the amplitude to 50 times. Only then will there be a chance to achieve the goal.
Of course, if the Gene Multiplier is increased, it's even simpler; just double the body's genes.
Improving genes is something even Universe Venerable crave, but it's something he can't access yet, at least not for the Human Race, unless he tries it using the system's cashback ability...
"Master, I have some news that might interest you."
Nasus's deep voice rang out.
"What's up?"
Lu Qingshan asked.
During his century-long seclusion, Nasus used detectors to monitor his surroundings, but he would not disturb Lu Qingshan's cultivation unless it was a matter of life and death.
"Please look, Master."
An image appeared in the void.
" The Starlight Race and the Kawu Race Marquis Immortal?"
Lu Qingshan recognized the two people as the two Marquis Immortal he had just discovered on Mist Island.
With their strength, they are already considered overlords on Mist Island.
What are they doing?
Lu Qingshan continued watching.
The two arrived at the edge of a large mountain and walked into a secluded path.
This place is very close to the Human Race Alliance's base. Alien Race that can set up camp here is generally not to be underestimated, otherwise they would have been wiped out by the Human Race powerhouses long ago.
Soon, another powerful figure, completely covered in a black robe, appeared in the detector's image.
What are you doing here?
The voice sounded like a witch's howl.
This is the Marquis Immortal of the Heart Nightmare Race!
The identities of dozens of powerful figures on Mist Island surfaced in Lu Qingshan's mind. The Heart Nightmare Race was an extremely terrifying race, belonging to the Zerg Alliance. They were proficient in Soul Attack and also had two Marquis servants. They were absolutely not to be provoked on Mist Island.
" Spirit Devouring Marquis, we have something important to discuss with you," the Starlight Race Immortal said.
"Yes, it's very important!" the Kawu Race rock giant added from the side.
"What's up?"
Green eyes peeked out from beneath the black robe.
"Do you remember the intelligence sent by the Demon Race a hundred years ago? The Human Race's top genius, codenamed Golden Sword... appeared on the islands surrounding the Yanji Continent. Ten years ago, he came to our Mist Island, and we discovered his trail!"
The Starlight Race Immortal spoke with some excitement.
"We found him... Why didn't you just kill him! I've also seen the intelligence on the Demon Race. He's at most High-level Immortal Army Lord, and that's only because of his Golden Sword."
"We haven't made a move, so naturally we don't have absolute certainty. Twenty years ago, on Black Sand Island, this human genius escaped from a Marquis Demon Race. Even if the two of us join forces, we only have a 98% chance of success, which isn't reliable... Moreover, you know that while killing a top human genius is a great achievement, it's at least ten times less valuable than enslaving him... If you, Spirit Devouring Marquis, were to make a move, we would have a 100% chance of success, and even if we each took 20-30% of the merit, it would still be several times greater than directly killing him!"
"It is the Starlight Marquis," he began.
"Hehe... I'll accept this favor. If you two encounter any danger on Mist Island in the future, you can ask me for help once."
The sinister voice rang out again, clearly indicating that he accepted the answer.
After all, as allies, these two wouldn't dare to scheme against him, nor would they have the guts. Moreover, if he were to truly enslave that top Human Race genius, it would be a good thing for all three of them; it would be mutually beneficial.
The video abruptly ended.
Lu Qingshan frowned slightly and asked, "When was this news received?"
Nasus replied, "That Heart Nightmare Race Marquis Immortal, hasn't left these past few days, which is why I didn't remind you."
Lu Qingshan nodded.
Nasus knew him quite well.
Although the Golden Sword was merely a tool of Lu Qingshan and didn't show him much respect as his teacher, it was still his disciple, and Lu Qingshan certainly wouldn't let anything happen to it.
Nasus clearly understood this; if the Heart Nightmare Race left their lair, he would likely warn him immediately.
"Continue to monitor him... notify me immediately if he makes any move!"
Lu Qingshan glanced at Golden Sword's email address in the Virtual Universe... After thinking for a moment, he didn't remind him.
After all, from the conversation just now, Lu Qingshan knew that Golden Sword had been targeted by two Marquis, one of whom was Marquis Immortal from the Starlight Race who was good at lying in wait, so he would definitely not be able to escape.
Since they can't escape, telling him this news now would only alert them. It's better to wait for the Nightmare Heart Nightmare Race's Marquis to make a move, then we can wipe out the three Alien Race in one fell swoop and replenish the Time Compass. It seems that the two of them are afraid of this Heart Nightmare Race Marquis, so they shouldn't break their promise.
Lu Qingshan's detector is worth tens of billions of Hunyuan, which is better than some detectors at the Peak King. The Heart Nightmare Race's Marquis is only a Early Marquis, so he has no way of detecting that his every move is under Lu Qingshan's surveillance.
In the past few days, the Heart Nightmare Race Immortal seemed to be preparing a treasure. It wasn't until the tenth day that the Heart Nightmare Race Immortal left the nest.
Lu Qingshan quickly followed.
A few days later, the Heart Nightmare Race's Marquis Immortal and two other Zerg Immortal joined forces.
At this point, Lu Qingshan didn't hesitate and immediately took action.
The three Alien Race have already gathered, so there's no need to wait until they find the Golden Sword before rescuing them. No one can guarantee that he can control things with such precision, especially since the Heart Nightmare Race is a master of souls. What if he destroys the Golden Sword with a single Soul Attack?
Once they're all together, just get to work, it's that simple!!
"Who!"
Just as Lu Qingshan was about to take action, the Heart Nightmare Race Immortal noticed them. However, a lightning shield quickly enveloped them.
" The Machine Race's Thunderlight Prison "
The three Zerg Immortal were horrified.
This thing is a treasure of the Machine Race. Even those of high rank, High-level Marquis, cannot destroy it from the inside if they are trapped inside.
"Is this a conspiracy?"
The Heart Nightmare Race Immortal looked at the other two, his eyes filled with wariness.
" Spirit Devouring Marquis, we don't know what happened either. Besides, there are no Machine Race Marquis on Mist Island who used the Thunderlight Prison."
"It is an immortal of the Starlight Race Immortal.
"It's alright... On Mist Island, the three of us working together are no match for anyone. At most, we'll just be trapped for a while."
The Immortal giant of the Kawu Race took out a pair of enormous iron hammers.
"Did you lot get my permission to assassinate our Human Race genius?"
Suddenly, a voice reached the ears of the three people.
Lu Qingshan, clad in gray armor, appeared in the Thunderlight Prison.
As they spoke, Three-Hundred-Vine Star-Eating Grass appeared, and countless huge, thick vines swept towards the three of them.
" The Gray Robe Marquis!!"
The three were terrified and lost all their previous composure.
