Chapter 395: Increasing Strength

On the other side...

In the initial universe, within the treasure vault of the Human Race in Chaos City.

Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points: 2031;

Precious Treasure Points: 3109.

Lu Qingshan looked at the wealth he had obtained by contributing numerous treasures on his person to the Human Race's treasure vault, and his mood was quite cheerful.

"Since I am going to venture into that Sea of Universes next, I must quickly convert this wealth into my own strength!"

Thinking this, Lu Qingshan quickly began browsing the numerous treasures within the Human Race's treasure vault.

However, after viewing the many precious treasures in the Human Race's treasure vault, Lu Qingshan fell silent once again.

Originally, he felt that obtaining two thousand Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points in one go was already very good, but after seeing the exchange prices of those precious treasures in the Human Race's treasure vault, he discovered that his gains this time were simply insignificant.

"Wealth of two thousand Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points looks indeed like a lot, but for me, it is still too little!"

Lu Qingshan's gaze first turned to the top-tier palace-type Supreme Treasures in the Human Race's treasure vault, after all, palace-type Supreme Treasures are extremely proficient in preserving one's life.

However, treasures at the level of top-tier palaces are already considered extremely precious in the universe, so even within the Human Race's treasure vault, there are not many of them.

All the top-tier palace-type Supreme Treasures in the Human Race's treasure vault added together amount to only 57 items.

And the cheapest one among them, a top-tier flying palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, has an exchange price of 2300 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points.

"With my current assets, if I contribute the Chaos Return Tower bestowed by my teacher to the Human Race's treasure vault, I would actually be able to exchange for a top-tier palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao suitable for myself!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "With a top-tier palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao protecting me, I will be safer when venturing into that Sea of Universes!"

But...

The biggest drawback of palace-type Supreme Treasures is that they can only improve life-preserving capabilities, and cannot improve one's own strength at all.

Hiding inside a top-tier flying palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao only allows for escape; not only is there no way to fight other powerful beings for treasures, but one might even be directly suppressed.

Especially in the Sea of Universes, there are definitely no shortage of powerful beings possessing precious palace-type Supreme Treasures, so the utility of flying palace-type Supreme Treasures is not as great as imagined.

If Lu Qingshan possessed more resources on his person, he could naturally exchange for a palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, but he currently only has two thousand Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points; if he used them all to exchange for a palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, his strength would not increase by any amount.

"Moreover, ordinary palace-type Supreme Treasures reduce soul attacks by a negligible amount!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "In the Primordial Universe, powerful beings proficient in soul attacks are not too many, but in the Sea of Universes, there are quite a few; a single top-tier palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao is simply insufficient to raise my life-preserving capability to an extremely high level!"

Thinking this, Lu Qingshan quickly abandoned the idea of exchanging for a top-tier palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao.

"When venturing into the Sea of Universes this time, besides material defense capabilities, soul defense is also very important!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "If I am penetrated and annihilated by those Universe Supreme Beings proficient in soul attacks through soul attacks, then I would have suffered a huge loss!"

It must be known that the attack power of Universe Supreme Beings is greatly restricted within the Primordial Universe; at most, they can only unleash attacks of the sixth rank.

Therefore, even the Insect Race Empress can at most unleash soul attacks of the sixth rank.

And Lu Qingshan himself is quite proficient in willpower; combined with a soul-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao guarding his soul, even if he encounters the Insect Race Empress, he can still self-destruct before the opponent penetrates his soul and annihilates all his avatars.

But it is different in the Sea of Universes!

Although the Universe Supreme Beings are similarly restricted by the rules of operation in the Sea of Universes, they are already able to unleash even stronger strength.

Lu Qingshan's willpower is currently quite strong, but he has not yet crossed into the level of Universe Supreme Beings; if he truly encounters those Universe Supreme Beings proficient in soul attacks, even with an ordinary soul-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao protecting him, he might still have all his avatars penetrated and annihilated by soul attacks.

Although he has already sent a weak divine body from his Endless Divine Sea avatar through the cross-world teleportation channel in the chat group to other worlds, so even if he is penetrated and annihilated by soul attacks, he has a chance to return, but the Endless Divine Sea avatar's vast divine body will need to be accumulated anew!

"With my current willpower strength, if I have a high-grade soul-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao guarding my soul, even if I encounter those Universe Supreme Beings extremely proficient in soul attacks, I will still have a chance to self-destruct!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "Then I will first exchange for a soul-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao for protection, and then see how many Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points remain!"

Thinking this, Lu Qingshan quickly turned his gaze toward the high-grade soul-type Supreme Treasures in the Human Race's treasure vault.

The high-grade soul-type Supreme Treasures in the Human Race's treasure vault are not too many; added together, there are only a little over one hundred items, with exchange prices ranging from 260 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points to 1180 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points.

It must be said that the prices of soul-type Supreme Treasures are slightly higher than those of domain-type and flying palace-type Supreme Treasures.

After browsing carefully, Lu Qingshan quickly fixed his gaze on a soul-type high-grade Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao named 'Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Bell'.

This Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Bell, besides helping its master guard the soul, can also assist its master in unleashing soul attacks; it is considered quite precious among the many high-grade soul-type Supreme Treasures, with an exchange price as high as 500 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points.

"I am currently also creating a method for soul attacks; although high-grade Supreme Treasures do not provide much enhancement to soul attacks at the Universe Master level, they still have some effect!"

Looking at the phantom of the Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Bell ahead, Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "Moreover, comprehending the secret patterns of soul attack methods on this Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Bell might allow me to create a soul attack method even faster!"

Thinking this, Lu Qingshan moved his mind, and quickly began applying to exchange for this Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Bell.

"Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Bell, a high-grade soul-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, capable of guarding the soul and simultaneously assisting in soul attacks!"

Just after Lu Qingshan made his choice, a gentle voice sounded again by his ear: "Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Bell, requires 500 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points to exchange; Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, do you wish to exchange?"

"Exchange!" Lu Qingshan immediately nodded in agreement.

Boom!

As soon as Lu Qingshan's words fell, the green stone disc ahead slowly cracked open, and then a black light quickly flew out from the gap.

When this black light stopped in front of Lu Qingshan, it quickly revealed a strange bell, entirely black in color, with its exterior emitting a misty, dim light.

At this moment, the bell swayed slightly, continuously emitting waves of strange fluctuations.

"Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Bell!"

Looking at the black bell ahead, Lu Qingshan quickly separated a wisp of divine power to penetrate it and complete the master-claiming: "After I venture into the Sea of Universes, I will rely on you to guard my soul!"

After slightly feeling the power of the Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Bell, Lu Qingshan quickly began looking at other resources in the Human Race's treasure vault.

"There are only two directions for me to immediately improve my strength right now!"

While searching through the many resources, Lu Qingshan silently planned in his heart: "First, exchange for a peak Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao longsword suitable for myself; second, exchange for treasures needed to improve the life gene level!"

Thinking this, Lu Qingshan quickly began searching for peak Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao longswords, as well as treasures needed to improve the life gene level.

The number of peak Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao weapons in the Human Race's treasure vault is actually a bit higher than that of top-tier palace-type Supreme Treasures, roughly over two hundred items, but the number of peak Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao longswords among them is relatively small; added together, there are only over twenty items.

The cheapest peak Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao longsword among them has an exchange price of 1100 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points, while the most expensive one reaches as high as 10800 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points.
