Chapter 152: Authority Elevation: Fusing the Blood Luo Crystal

After seeing off King Yuxin and the other envoys of the Hong Alliance, Lu Qingshan quickly sent an email to his disciple Huo Gesi.

After clearing the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge this time, he had many trivial matters to deal with, so the first person he thought of was Huo Gesi, who had already been in the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company for several million years.

With Huo Gesi's help, handling the trivial matters would naturally be much easier.

On the other side, after receiving Lu Qingshan's email, Huo Gesi also hurried over to Lu Qingshan's residence very quickly.

"Disciple congratulates teacher on smoothly stepping into the Fengwang tier, with the title 'Wanjie Wang'!"

The moment Huo Gesi arrived at Lu Qingshan's residence, he respectfully fell to the ground in obeisance and offered his congratulations.

"Alright, get up!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and waved his hand, then continued: "Your information channels are quite well-informed!"

Although the news of his becoming a Fengwang had already spread for a long time, the title 'Wanjie Wang' had just been decided, so ordinary people would definitely not know about it.

"Teacher, it seems you still don't know!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Huo Gesi hurriedly said: "Just now, within our Virtual Universe Company, including the headquarters and the branches in the various universe nations, everyone with authority above Immortal God has already received a mass email from the company's upper echelons, the content of which is the news congratulating you on clearing the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, becoming a Fengwang Immortal, with the title 'Wanjie Wang'!"

"Oh?"

With a thought, Lu Qingshan quickly picked out the email sent to him internally by the company from the many emails he had received.

After clearing the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, he had received far too many congratulatory emails, and coupled with staying with his teacher Lei Huanwang the whole time, he naturally had no time to attend to these emails.

After the email was opened on the illusory screen in front of Lu Qingshan, a brief piece of content quickly appeared……

"Lu Qingshan:

First of all, I must congratulate you on clearing the eighteenth level of the Tianlei Tongtian Bridge and becoming a true Fengwang Immortal;

Anyone who can clear the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, our Virtual Universe Company will bestow upon them the title of Fengwang;

Venerable Yao Guang has already submitted your request regarding the Fengwang title, so our Virtual Universe Company will bestow upon you the title 'Wanjie Wang', and send this news to all Immortal Gods within our Virtual Universe Company!

Besides, after becoming a Fengwang Immortal, your authority within our Virtual Universe Company will also receive a tremendous boost;

Finally, I hope you can continue to make further efforts, keep improving your own strength, and become a super powerhouse capable of roaming freely across the universe!

Virtual Universe Company"

Looking at the email before him, Lu Qingshan's heart stirred.

Now that he already possessed Fengwang-tier authority, he could try applying for Blood Luo Crystals and Beast God Blood.

"Teacher, you don't know!"

Huo Gesi beside him quickly said excitedly again: "This time after you cleared the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, it caused quite a stir within our Virtual Universe Company. Even your disciple's status in the transportation department has improved a certain degree, and there are also quite a few people who want to ask your disciple to bring them to visit you!"

"You just handle these matters, as for those wanting to visit me, forget it!"

Lu Qingshan shook his head and said: "However, according to company convention, after I become a Fengwang Immortal this time, I should hold a banquet at the company's universe-wide headquarters. When the time comes, you can invite them to attend the banquet together!"

"Disciple understands!" Huo Gesi quickly replied.

Huo Gesi was very clear in his heart that most of those who had sought him out were Lord Immortals. Now that teacher Lu Qingshan's strength and status had risen tremendously, it was naturally impossible for him to receive them individually anymore.

Even being able to invite them to attend the banquet was already giving them a lot of face.

"Also……"

Lu Qingshan spoke again: "This banquet is rather troublesome, there are many matters needing attention in all aspects, so your teacher wants to hand it over to you to arrange. What do you think?"

"Please rest assured, teacher!"

Hearing that Lu Qingshan wanted to entrust the banquet preparations to him, Huo Gesi hurriedly assured: "Disciple will definitely arrange your banquet properly, absolutely won't let teacher lose face!"

"That's good then!"

Lu Qingshan waved his hand, and various fine wines and delicacies immediately appeared on the table beside him: "Come, keep your teacher company for a couple of drinks!"

"Disciple obeys!"

Huo Gesi quickly replied, then stepped forward two paces and began pouring wine for Lu Qingshan.

Just like that, as cups were exchanged, Lu Qingshan also gave Huo Gesi some information about the people who needed to be invited.

After Huo Gesi left, Lu Qingshan also quickly checked his current authority through the Virtual Universe.

It had to be said, after becoming a Fengwang Immortal, the authority within the Virtual Universe Company, and even within the entire human race, far exceeded that of a Fenghou Immortal.

For instance, the residence on Lei Ting Island, as well as the residence on the continent of the Virtual Universe Company's universe-wide headquarters, could all be directly expanded to Fengwang tier. And the previous rule that prevented Lu Qingshan from bringing his family members to Lei Ting Island was now gone as well.

Besides, the entry and exit authority for many forbidden zones within the human race had now all been opened to him.

"Let's first check the information on Blood Luo Crystals and Beast God Blood!"

After his authority was elevated, such a thought quickly flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind.

After all, if he wanted to raise his strength in a short period of time, the fastest way was to raise his life gene tier, as well as his soul amplitude secret art.

However, the fastest Lingfeng Divine General inheritance still needed over a thousand years, so what he could do now naturally only left raising his life gene tier through Blood Luo Crystals.

After checking, information related to Blood Luo Crystals and Beast God Blood quickly appeared before Lu Qingshan.

Blood Luo Crystals and Beast God Blood can only be fused by flesh-and-blood life forms. The effect of one drop of Beast God Blood after being fused into the body is actually equivalent to one Blood Luo Crystal, except that Beast God Blood is refined from a hundred Blood Luo Crystals. Because a hundredfold price has been paid, it is easier to fuse!

Of course, if one wants to fuse more Beast God Blood, one must first fuse enough Blood Luo Crystals!

If one cannot fuse even a single Blood Luo Crystal, then even if one directly fuses Beast God Blood, at most only three or four drops can be fused; whereas if one can fuse more than three Blood Luo Crystals before fusing Beast God Blood, there is a chance to raise the life gene tier to ten times its original through fusing Beast God Blood;

As for wanting to successfully fuse ten Blood Luo Crystals before fusing Beast God Blood, such a genius is extremely rare even in the long history of the human race!

"I hope I can fuse more than three Blood Luo Crystals!"

Lu Qingshan secretly anticipated in his heart: "But I still don't know if my current authority allows me to apply for Beast God Blood. According to teacher, he and his several senior brothers and sisters, back when they became Fengwang Immortals, only barely received a few free Blood Luo Crystals!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly submitted his application.

A moment later……

Beep!

The prompt sound of a communication request rang out.

After Lu Qingshan accepted the communication request, a rabbit girl with fluffy ears and soft white fur all over her body quickly appeared on the illusory screen before him.

"Lord of Wan Jie!"

The rabbit-woman's smile was very sweet, and she said very respectfully, "May I ask if you wish to apply for the use of Blood Luo Crystals and the Blood of the Beast God?"

"Yes!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly and answered.

"According to your quota, Lord of Wan Jie, you may receive ten Blood Luo Crystals and five drops of the Blood of the Beast God free of charge!"

After checking Lu Qingshan's authority, the rabbit-woman answered in great surprise.

One should know that, after becoming a Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, or even a Universe Lord, one no longer qualifies to obtain free resources from the race — all must be exchanged by contributing to the race.

And within the human race, an ordinary Hei Fengwang who has just broken through generally can obtain at most a few Blood Luo Crystals as a free quota; to receive the incomparably precious Blood of the Beast God for free is simply an inconceivable matter.

She had already received members of the race's upper echelons for a very long time, and everyone who could obtain five drops of the Blood of the Beast God for free was without exception one of those super geniuses of the human race.

Moreover, since they could already obtain five drops of the Blood of the Beast God for free, so long as they were willing to pay some price, they could completely apply for more!

"I heard this Lord of Wan Jie has been cultivating for over ten million years already!"

The rabbit-woman thought to herself: "Although such talent is quite good, compared with those absolute geniuses who broke through to become Hei Fengwang in just over a hundred thousand years of cultivation, it should be quite a bit worse!"

"Send me the free Blood Luo Crystals and Blood of the Beast God!" Lu Qingshan ordered quickly.

"Yes!"

The rabbit-woman, having come back to herself, quickly asked, "Lord of Wan Jie, may we ask where we should deliver these resources?"

"This is the address."

Lu Qingshan currently had no missions, so he directly entered his detailed address on the headquarters continent of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Right on the company headquarters continent?"

After reading the detailed address, the rabbit-woman quickly said with a smile, "Lord of Wan Jie, the resources you require can be delivered today!"

"Mm!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, and then quickly ended the communication.

"It seems the treatment the company gives me is still quite good!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself: "With these five free drops of the Blood of the Beast God, so long as I can fuse five Blood Luo Crystals, I can raise my life gene level to ten times that of an ordinary universe life!"

"When the time comes, whether it is physical attack, soul attack, or defense, all will receive a certain boost!"

One should know that the elevation of life gene level is entirely all-around — unlike amplification secret arts, which are still divided into body amplification and soul amplification.

Just like the twelve great peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts — it is precisely because their life gene level is innately powerful, combined with many heaven-defying innate secret arts, that among those of the same rank almost no one can defeat them.

And so, just over two hours later.

Outside his residence on the headquarters continent of the Virtual Universe Company, Lu Qingshan had a dedicated staff member deliver a spatial ring.

"Tylissa, you may go!" After taking the ring, Lu Qingshan instructed this familiar Undying Divine Spirit from the transportation department before him.

"Yes, Lord of Wan Jie!"

Tylissa bowed slightly, and after respectfully retreating from Lu Qingshan's residence, a trace of regret quickly flashed across her face.

One should know that, back when Lu Qingshan had just joined the transportation department, she and Lu Qingshan had attended banquets of other Undying Divine Spirits of the transportation department together, so the two could be considered acquainted.

Only, back then Lu Qingshan was merely the most ordinary Undying who had passed the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge by virtue of a lower Origin Law, while she had relied on the Space Origin Law to pass the thirteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, so naturally she looked down on Lu Qingshan somewhat.

But unexpectedly, Lu Qingshan was actually able to advance from the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge to the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge in less than three million years, becoming a lofty Hei Fengwang, while she still had not passed the fourteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge!

……

On the other side, after Tylissa — who had delivered the spatial ring — left, Lu Qingshan also quickly took out two silver suitcases from the spatial ring.

Inside one suitcase, ten triangular-prism-shaped long crystals were neatly stacked; they were entirely blood-red, slightly translucent, and faintly emanated an invisible fluctuation, somewhat resembling a heartbeat — wave after wave of fluctuation.

"So this is the crystallization of the Blood of the Beast God?" Lu Qingshan reached out and picked up a Blood Luo Crystal, feeling the strange fluctuation within it.

"Actually, for me, fusing the blood crystallization of the Leishi Beast God would definitely be best!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself: "It's just that the human race's treasury currently has no blood crystallization of the Leishi Beast God, and even if it did, it would not be something I could apply for, so I can only settle for the next best thing!"

"Fortunately, even if the attributes don't match, I can still fuse Blood Luo Crystals — I hope I can fuse three or more!"

Thinking of this…

Hiss!

Lu Qingshan's right hand formed a sword with two fingers and directly pierced a wound on his left arm.

Although a strong being, after breaking through to become Undying, has all the energy within completely converted into Undying Divine Power, some original life characteristics can still be preserved.

Therefore, as a flesh-and-blood life-form, after Lu Qingshan pierced a wound, fresh blood quickly flowed from his left arm, and Lu Qingshan also quickly pressed the triangular-prism-shaped Blood Luo Crystal against the wound.

And the moment that beautiful, dazzling Blood Luo Crystal touched the fresh blood flowing from Lu Qingshan's body, it quickly erupted with an invisible, strange energy, as if an absolute fierce beast that had been oppressed for endless ages had charged into Lu Qingshan's body.

At the same time, a rather ferocious will also descended into Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness.

"Kill!" "Kill!"

Fierce roars rang out in Lu Qingshan's mind, but under Lu Qingshan's terrifying will they had absolutely no effect.

"Boom—!"

The moment that ferocious will was disintegrated by Lu Qingshan's will, the strange power contained within the Blood Luo Crystal instantly erupted!

One saw red threads directly split out from within the Blood Luo Crystal, and then completely interwove with the flesh and blood formed from the divine power within Lu Qingshan's body.

As the divine-power flesh and blood continuously fused with that strange Blood Luo power, Lu Qingshan's body also underwent great changes.

One saw all ten of his fingers mutate at the same time, directly turning into the hooves and claws of a fierce beast; even his body grew much hair and scales.

As for the pain brought by fusing the Blood Luo Crystal, for Lu Qingshan it was even more not worth mentioning.

A moment later, everything returned to calm, and Lu Qingshan's body also returned to normal.

After the fusion ended, Lu Qingshan quickly felt an additional special power within his body.

He knew very well in his heart that this was the power belonging to the Jin Kong Tian-sheng Beast God bloodline, which could also be called the 'Blood Luo Power.'

Once this Blood Luo Power merged into the body, it could fundamentally cause the life gene level to undergo a metamorphosis, and could even allow Lu Qingshan to perceive the various Origin Laws of the universe more clearly.

Of course, these improvements were all very limited.

To continue improving, one would need to fuse more Blood Luo Crystals!

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly began fusing another Blood Luo Crystal.

The second one…

The third one…

After the killing intent contained within the Blood Luo Crystal was easily shattered by Lu Qingshan's will, the strange power contained within the third Blood Luo Crystal surged directly into Lu Qingshan's body.

After once again going through a process of growing fur and scales, the third Blood Luo Crystal was also successfully fused by Lu Qingshan.

At the same time, the mysterious blood-red secret patterns on Lu Qingshan's chest also became more complete, faintly forming a unified whole that looked very perfect.

"Blood Luo Power, activate!"

Lu Qingshan instantly activated the strange power lurking within his body.

Hum!

With the activation of the Blood Luo Power, Lu Qingshan's base strength, originally only at ten thousand times a Realm Lord's, directly doubled to twenty thousand times a Realm Lord's.

"Two times the life gene level!"

Feeling the transformation of his life gene level, a smile quickly appeared on Lu Qingshan's face: "Even if I can't become a Black Warrior, I can now rely on the Beast God's Blood to raise my life gene level to ten times that of ordinary cosmic life!"

After slightly calming his emotions, Lu Qingshan quickly continued fusing the Blood Luo Crystals.

The fourth one was also fused successfully very quickly!

But just as Lu Qingshan was fusing the fifth one, although he easily shattered the will impact within the Blood Luo Crystal, other changes occurred in his body, and the fusion ultimately failed.

Swoosh swoosh…

The instant the fusion failed, the Blood Luo Power that had originally entered Lu Qingshan's body quickly flowed back into the fifth, not-yet-fully-fused Blood Luo Crystal.

"This…"

Seeing the fifth Blood Luo Crystal's fusion fail, Lu Qingshan felt quite helpless: "Looks like I'll still have to spend money!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly opened another silver suitcase.

Inside this suitcase, five transparent crystal tubes were neatly arranged, each containing a drop of golden blood that radiated dazzling golden light and released waves of surging aura.

If one looked closely, one could see that these drops of golden blood were filled with numerous law secret pattern threads.

"Beast God's Blood!"

Lu Qingshan carefully took out one crystal tube, then pulled out the stopper and poured the golden blood into his palm.

The moment the golden blood touched Lu Qingshan's palm, it completely seeped into it, and immediately a layer of golden light began to glow on the surface of Lu Qingshan's body.

Because Lu Qingshan had already fused four Blood Luo Crystals before, fusing this Beast God's Blood was naturally quite easy.

Then, Lu Qingshan took out another crystal tube, pulled out the stopper, and began fusing the Beast God's Blood.

Just like that, after the five drops of Beast God's Blood were completely merged into Lu Qingshan's body, he quickly found the rabbit woman from whom he had previously applied for the Blood Luo Crystals, and then spent ten billion points to exchange for one drop of Beast God's Blood.

After the last drop of Beast God's Blood was delivered, Lu Qingshan quickly began fusing once again.

After this sixth drop of Beast God's Blood was completely merged into his body, a smile quickly appeared on Lu Qingshan's face.

Although he had already planned this in his heart, only at this moment when everything was settled did he finally set his mind at ease.

After slowly rising, Lu Qingshan began to activate the Blood Luo Power contained within his body.

It could be seen that incomparably complex blood-red secret patterns began to emerge on his chest, countless times more complete than when he had previously fused three Blood Luo Crystals, looking like a unified whole.

"Hahaha, what powerful strength!"

Feeling the astonishing power within his body, a smile flashed across Lu Qingshan's face: "Even without employing body amplification secret arts, my base strength has now reached a hundred thousand times a Realm Lord's, hasn't it? It's already comparable to Hei Fengwang's peak!"

Of course, Lu Qingshan was only comparable to Hei Fengwang's peak in base strength; in law comprehension he still fell short by quite a bit, and coupled with special abilities like teleportation and time freeze, he naturally still fell somewhat short of a true Hei Fengwang peak Undying.

"The remaining money still needs to be used to exchange for a Divine General inheritance quota, so there's no way to continue exchanging for Blood Luo Crystals!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself: "But if the Beast God's Blood can't be fused up to a hundred drops, future improvements probably won't be obvious, so not continuing to fuse isn't a big deal!"

"Anyway, as long as I don't encounter special life forms with extremely high life gene levels, my ten-times life gene level is more than enough at the Undying Divine Spirit stage!"
