Chapter 360: Great Leap in Strength

"According to the rules of our Human Race!"

The Great Axe Founder looked at Lu Qingshan, smiling as he spoke: "When a powerhouse of our Human Race breaks through to become a Lord of the Universe, they are granted a treasure by the Race equivalent in value to a top-tier Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao weapon. Wan Jie, do you have any requirements for this treasure?"

Hearing the Great Axe Founder's words, Lu Qingshan felt quite emotional in his heart.

This was the difference between a peak Race like the Human Race and those weak or ordinary Races.

One must know that places in the Universe where one can obtain precious treasures are not many.

If it were an ordinary heavy treasure, one or two would appear from time to time on the Outer Battlefield, but if it were a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, it would be far more precious.

Like a top-tier Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, even on the Primordial Star, which opens only once in endless ages, they rarely appear.

Although a Lord of the Universe is very powerful, obtaining a top-tier Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao is still a very difficult matter.

Especially for Zifeng Zunzhe of weak or ordinary Races who break through; without powerful peers of the same level to help them, they must fight and struggle on their own to obtain precious treasures, making it incredibly difficult to acquire treasures of the top-tier Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao level.

But within the Human Race, as long as you can break through to the Lord Realm, you can immediately receive the gift of a top-tier Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, enough for the one who broke through to use to enhance their strength.

"Wan Jie, just say it!" Seeing Lu Qingshan hesitate, the Great Axe Founder spoke again quickly.

Other Lords of the Universe of the Human Race also turned their gazes toward Lu Qingshan.

"I already have a top-tier Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao weapon protecting me!"

Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said: "So I hope the Race can gift me some treasures that elevate my life gene level, so my strength can be increased further!"

For Lu Qingshan, to enhance his strength now, besides creating his own secret techniques, there were only two paths: elevating his life gene level and acquiring more precious treasures.

Although elevating his life gene level to nearly ten thousand times was more difficult than obtaining a peak Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao weapon, it was more suitable for Lu Qingshan.

After all, his greatest advantage right now was his ability to preserve his life, and elevating his life gene level would help increase the size of his true body's divine physique while also increasing his total divine power.

After his total divine power increased, even facing more terrifying attacks, he would not be annihilated in a single strike.

This way, he, carrying the Infinite Divine Sea Avatar which splits his divine body, could rapidly replenish his divine power and would not be directly annihilated!

"No problem!"

The Great Axe Founder spoke quickly: "There are many treasures that elevate life gene levels; you may go to the Race's Treasure Vault and choose for yourself!"

"The treasure granted to a Human Race Lord of the Universe after breaking through is roughly equivalent to one hundred Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points; when the time comes, you may choose directly according to this quota!"

"Good!" Lu Qingshan nodded and agreed quickly.

"Wan Jie!"

The Great Axe Founder spoke again: "According to the rules, after a Human Race Lord of the Universe breaks through, we must notify the many powerhouses within the Race!"

"However, since you plan to venture into the God-Slaying Hall, you should keep it secret as much as possible; this way, you might catch them off guard and obtain the most precious God-Slaying Array Diagram component!"

"I think it would be better if we notified the powerhouses within the Race only after you expose your strength to powerhouses of other factions; what do you think?"

"I have no objection!" Lu Qingshan nodded and said quickly.

The most important matter of this Great Axe Meeting was to welcome Lu Qingshan, this newly born Lord of the Universe.

So after finishing the serious business, the many Lords of the Universe of the Human Race began chatting about other trivial matters, such as things happening on the Primordial Star and in the Sea of the Universe.

After the idle chat, the Great Axe Meeting was disbanded.

The Lords of the Universe of the Virtual Universe Company faction also dispersed directly, except for Lu Qingshan, who was called over by Lord Bingfeng.

In the Virtual Universe, atop Lei Ting Island, within Lord Bingfeng's Divine Palace.

"Lu Qingshan!"

Lord Bingfeng looked at Lu Qingshan, then smiled and said: "Since you have broken through to the Lord Realm this time, your permissions in the Virtual Universe have naturally increased; shortly, you may build a palace belonging to yourself atop Lei Ting Island!"

"However, since you wish to keep it secret for now, continue using the palace at the halfway point of the mountain for the time being; you may move to the summit later!"

"Yes, Teacher!" Lu Qingshan nodded and said quickly.

"And also..."

Lord Bingfeng's gaze toward Lu Qingshan was very satisfied: "Lu Qingshan, your breaking through to the Lord Realm this time is also a surprise for your teacher!"

"Your teacher has nothing good to give you, so the Chaos Return Tower I lent you previously shall henceforth belong to you!"

"This..."

After hearing Lord Bingfeng's words, Lu Qingshan was slightly stunned, then quickly said: "Teacher, this is truly too precious; this disciple cannot accept it!"

One must know that if the Chaos Return Tower were contributed to the Human Race's Treasure Vault, it could earn over five hundred Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points.

A peak Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao weapon generally costs only around one thousand Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points, so even for Lord Bingfeng, who is wealthy, obtaining five hundred Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points is not an easy matter.

And the Human Race only grants treasures equivalent to one hundred Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points to a Lord of the Universe who has just broken through.

Now that Lord Bingfeng intends to give him the Chaos Return Tower, he naturally is unwilling to accept it!

"Lu Qingshan, do not think too much!"

Lord Bingfeng smiled and said quickly: "Although the Chaos Return Tower is relatively precious, it means nothing to your teacher!"

"Moreover, you have just broken through and are currently relatively weak in strength, needing to enhance your power! Having a high-grade Palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao to protect you is still very important, so do not decline!"

"This..."

After hearing Lord Bingfeng's words, Lu Qingshan felt somewhat emotional in his heart, but finally respectfully said: "This disciple thanks Teacher!"

"By the way!"

Lord Bingfeng asked again: "Lu Qingshan, after this breakthrough, where do you plan to station yourself?"

"Most of the powerhouses of my Virtual Universe Company faction are stationed within the Primordial Secret Realm, so that in special circumstances we can look out for one another!"

"Teacher, let us discuss this matter after this disciple returns from the God-Slaying Hall!"

Lu Qingshan said quickly: "Otherwise, once the news leaks, those alien Race powerhouses will definitely be even more guarded when they see this disciple!"

"Very well!" Lord Bingfeng nodded and said quickly.

Next, Lord Bingfeng told Lu Qingshan many things to note after stepping into the Lord Realm, and only then did Lu Qingshan take his leave.

After leaving Lord Bingfeng's palace, Lu Qingshan quickly hurried to the Human Race's Treasure Vault.

After exchanging the many resources in his hands for treasures that could elevate his life-gene tier, Lu Qingshan quickly left Chaos City and returned directly to his own divine kingdom.

Whoosh!

Above the Endless Divine Sea, Lu Qingshan waved his hand and took out the many treasures he had previously exchanged from the human clan's vault to elevate his life-gene tier.

One after another, rare treasures hard to come by in the universe gathered before Lu Qingshan — even a Universe Lord who saw them would likely be moved.

"What a pity I'm still too poor right now!"

Gazing at the many cosmic treasures before him, Lu Qingshan could not help sighing in his heart: "If I had enough wealth right now, I could completely elevate my life-gene tier to nearly ten thousand times. That way, even if I ran into a fifth-tier Universe Lord, I'd probably have a chance to save my life!"

Compared to the Universe Zunzhe stage, after becoming a Universe Lord, not only was the hundred-fold limit on life-gene tier gone, even the price required to elevate the life-gene tier had relatively decreased somewhat.

"Forget it, no use thinking that much!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself: "First, let me elevate my current life-gene tier a bit. Once my strength grows stronger, the speed at which I accumulate resources will also be a bit faster!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly turned his gaze to the many treasures before him that could elevate his life-gene tier.

Then…

Hum!

A wisp of divine power that had already stepped into the Universe Lord tier emanated from Lu Qingshan's body, swiftly wrapping up all the many cosmic treasures before him.

After fusing these treasures into his divine body in a specific order, Lu Qingshan's life-gene tier quickly underwent a metamorphosis.

In barely the span of a short moment, Lu Qingshan's life-gene tier was elevated by these precious cosmic treasures to fifteen hundred times that of an ordinary lifeform in the universe.

And right at this moment, Lu Qingshan once again felt the 'hunger and thirst' of his divine body!

"This is…"

Sensing the anomaly, a trace of joy quickly appeared on Lu Qingshan's face: "Looks like my divine body is about to start growing again!"
