Chapter 1003: Exchange Rewards! Supreme Qiangzhe Black Armor!

"Lightning and Destruction Laws?"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, then he frowned in confusion: "But Lord Hei Yu, didn't you say only Eternal-level cultivators can access higher laws?"

Not just Destruction Law—Hearing Ling Shuang is barely at Peak Eighth Rank.

According to Lord Hei Yu's theory, even if something is low-tier, it can still possess Spatial abilities.

"Do you think Laws are easy to comprehend?"

Lord Hei Yu looked at Xu Jingming as if he were an idiot: "Laws are the fundamental rules governing the universe, immensely powerful."

The Destruction Law hidden within your Lightning ability is negligible—so minimal it's pitiful.

Let me put it this way: your Lightning domain has already reached the Second Layer.

Only when your Lightning domain reaches the Ninth Layer will you truly begin to touch the Lightning Law.

As for Destruction Law, you haven't even formed a domain—you've merely glimpsed a faint essence. You're still far from it."

"I see."

Xu Jingming exhaled softly, then thought of another question: "What about Enhancement-type ability users? They don't seem to touch Laws at all."

"Enhancement-type ability users purely refine their bodies; there are many similar cultivators across the universe."

"But their absolute ceiling is only Stellar-level. To break into Cosmic-level, they must comprehend at least one fundamental Law."

Lord Hei Yu replied.

"Enhancement-type ability users have a ceiling?" This was something Xu Jingming hadn't anticipated.

Yet according to Lord Hei Yu's theory, Cosmic-level experts are precisely those who break through by cultivating Cosmic Laws.

Without cultivating Laws, there are indeed flaws.

"Any other questions? If not, we can begin the final reward exchange."

Lord Hei Yu asked softly.

If it were anyone else, she would have lost patience long ago.

But Xu Jingming holds a Civilization Heritage slot—she must provide attentive service.

"Not for now."

After pondering, Xu Jingming shook his head.

"Very well. Here is the exchange list. As a Civilization Heritage holder, you still have three free selections."

Lord Hei Yu's clear voice carried a hint of regret:

"Actually, your true advantage as this title will only manifest once you enter the Noah Sanctuary."

There, you may enter Law Sanctuaries and receive guidance from Cosmic-level mentors."

Unfortunately, we cannot summon the fleet here.

All I can offer you are starships, cultivation techniques, and these exchange rewards."

"Enough," Xu Jingming smiled.

The starry void is still far too distant for him now.

He must wait until he breaks through to Supreme-level and clarifies Blue Star's situation first.

His gaze swept across the top items on the exchange list.

Similar to previous lists, but with rarer items added.

Such as Spatial Element Essence, or other pills, rare flowers and herbs.

"Are there higher-grade Element Essences? The kind that can elevate abilities to SSS-level?" Xu Jingming asked curiously.

"Of course there are—but they're not kept inside the Trial Tower."

Lord Hei Yu shook her head. "My Noah Empire has deployed ten million such Trial Towers across the entire star domain."

Each Tower is designed to operate over one hundred thousand times, spanning millions of years."

If every Trial Tower contained resources of that caliber,

even for the Empire, it would be a massive expenditure."

Once you enter the starry void, you'll see—Cosmic resources are far richer than you imagine."

Some top-tier resources can't even be bought by selling an entire galaxy."

Millions of years?

Just that timespan made Xu Jingming feel suffocated.

Combined, his past and present lives totaled less than thirty years.

After a moment's thought, he spoke: "I want Element Essences for Lightning, Light, Ice, and Space. Additionally, three portions of Supreme Divine Blood."

Though the exchange list held many items, few were truly useful to Xu Jingming.

The Sacred Origin Pill, the rarest item that could directly push one to Ninth Rank, was useless to him now.

He already possessed the Celestial Origin Pill, which aids Ninth-Rank cultivation.

There were many armors and weapons, but he could forge similar gear after returning to Blue Star.

Compared to Element Essences that can transform abilities into S-level and Supreme Divine Blood, their appeal was far too weak.

The four Element Essences—Lightning, Light, Ice, Space—can be given to Senior Su and the women, including Hearing Ling Shuang.

The remaining three portions of Supreme Divine Blood can be traded with other experts.

After all, no one can resist the immense allure of an S-level ability.

Thus, the profit from one portion of Supreme Divine Blood should far exceed direct exchange here!"

"Seven items total. The three most valuable are free."

Three are discounted to one-tenth price; the last one remains at full price."

Altogether, you still owe 4.15 million Void Stones."

Lord Hei Yu calculated.

"Alright." Xu Jingming nodded.

He had 4.2 million Void Stones on hand, just enough to pay, with 50,000 left over.

Whoosh—

After handing the spatial ring containing the Void Stones to Lord Hei Yu, she waved her jade hand, and seven items appeared out of thin air.

First were the elemental essences; the four elemental essences were each of a different color.

Among them, the spatial-type elemental essence was the most wondrous — entirely transparent.

Without spiritual perception, one would never know there was an elemental essence there at all.

Besides these, there were three glass vials containing Supreme God Blood.

He wondered whether he had already absorbed Supreme God Blood once before.

These three glass vials held no attraction whatsoever for Xu Jingming.

"Besides these, there is one more thing."

Lord Hei Yu raised her right hand, and a basketball-sized blob of liquid appeared floating above her palm:

"This is 'Black Armor.' It is a battle suit I obtained when the Trial Tower opened trials on other planets.

This battle suit employs nano-technology; attacks below Star Radiance level can have their damage reduced by 99%.

Attacks above Star Radiance level can also have their damage reduced by 70%.

This battle suit's defense should be stronger than the vast majority of battle suits on your Blue Planet.

This is not part of the reward for civilization inheritors. I saw your aptitude was rather decent, so I specially bestow it upon you."

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up at once upon hearing this.

One must understand that even a top-grade SSR-level battle suit like 'Origin Armor' only granted immunity against attacks below ninth-tier.

This Black Armor was actually even stronger than that!

One could say that, with Black Armor on one's side, there would be no need to fear any ability user below the Supreme level at all!

"Many thanks, Lord Hei Yu!" Xu Jingming did not stand on ceremony.

After bowing respectfully and giving thanks, he stored the elemental essences, the Supreme God Blood, as well as Black Armor and the spaceship all into his spatial ring.
