Crystals encasing liquid emit a faint blue glow within the dimly lit hall.
Lu Yu picked up the crystal stone; liquid flowed inside it. In the grand hall, it actually cast a shadow of a snake. This snake shadow had a single horn, bony spines on its back, and looked fierce and terrifying!
Lu Yu used his Eye of Truth to see through the crystal and had already viewed the information within it.
At this point, Cang Hai said, “This item was obtained from the demon lord I killed during the invasion. Although it’s not of the highest rank, I think it should be quite valuable!”
“I’ll take this item. How much is it?” Lu Yu held the crystal stone, unable to remain calm any longer.
The sea stretched out a palm.
More than ten leaders of various organizations widened their eyes slightly, their mouths curling up at the corners, thinking to themselves: five devilish bodies, not that many.
“Fifty魔bodies!” Canghai finally spoke slowly.
“Uh!”
“Oh!”
“Joking, fifty magic bodies for just a stone!”
Not a single person believed it.
One of them was indeed a member of the Celestial Deity Organization, and the person who came this time held a rather high rank.
He is very knowledgeable about some confidential information within the organization.
A single stone dares to demand fifty demonic bodies in exchange—such value could never exist within the Heavenly God System.
What kind of stone is this!
Is it something of the highest level?
Everyone was looking at Lu Yu, eager to see his reaction!
They knew that Lu Yu never haggled over anything he considered reasonable.
If Lu Yu nodded, it meant the stone was truly worth that price.
If even Lu Yu considers something to be worth fifty magic bodies, then it’s truly priceless!
Lu Yu glanced at the stone again, then nodded without the slightest hesitation and said, “Eighty-five corpses in total—I’ll take them all.”
Lu Yu’s answer made over ten leaders inhale sharply; this stone was truly extraordinary!
This stone is very special; it can fuse two skills of the same attribute, enhancing the combined ability to twice its original power.
The skills that Lu Yu possesses are each extremely powerful, and he himself is already very strong to begin with.
Any skill I use now could easily slay a hundred demon lords!
If the two skills could be combined, the effect of double reinforcement would make it worthwhile—fifty魔躯 are a fair price!
For someone else, such value might not be as evident.
That’s enough for him.
Lu Yu put away all three items, then transferred eighty-five demonic bodies from his storage pearl to Canghai’s storage pearl, and said, “Count them.”
“Haha, pleasure to cooperate. As for counting, there’s no need for that.”
Canghai approached his own storage pearl, stood up directly, and left.
After seeing Canghai off, Lu Yu returned to the hall and asked, “Everyone, have you come here to exchange your mortal bodies for immortal ones as well?”
“That’s right.”
More than ten leaders from various organizations nodded in unison.
“The price is reasonable, and I definitely won’t refuse.”
Lu Yu smiled and sat down again.
Few could truly bring forth valuable items. The leaders of the twelve organizations, even when combining their efforts, managed to exchange for only sixty demon corpses—far fewer than what Canghai obtained alone.
Among them, two pieces of the Blue Star Soul could be exchanged for ten demonic bodies.
Among the remaining dozen or so items, three were related to the Star Refining Device.
An alien spiritual pearl that grants the ability to float in the air.
The remaining ones are relatively special; Lu Yu doesn’t need them, but Huo Wu can make use of them.
When only one person was left, that person turned out to be sent by the Celestial Deity Organization.
After seeing that everyone else had left, he finally turned serious and said, “Mr. Lu, I’m from the Celestial Deity Organization. Our target this time is the Hundred Demon Corpses. I wonder if Mr. Lu is still willing to sell them?”
“Ten thousand?!” Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, looking at the person across from him.
He waited until everyone had left before showing up, which obviously meant he had something to hide.
However, exchanging for a hundred magical bodies seems to be something that an ordinary person couldn’t accomplish.
“Poison Ivy and Scorpion Stinger, we’ve got them. I think these two items should be enough to exchange for forty magic bodies!”
The man took out two crystal boxes and handed them to Lu Yu.
“You found it?” Lu Yu said in surprise, looking at the crystal box.
The Celestial Deities Organization is too powerful. In such a short time, they’ve already acquired the remaining two items.
As for the poison of the Poisonous Dragon, he was about to complete it.
After absorbing these, he was left with only the King Viper’s venom.
And he already knew where Wang Dushe was, as well as where the Poisonous Dragon was!
This was almost equivalent to him being close to completing the final venom of the poison dragon.
The seventh Black Flame Blood was exchanged for fifteen corpses, and the sixth and fifth grade poisons together were exchanged for forty corpses. That’s not many.
Lu Yu nodded in agreement.
He even began to look forward to it—to anticipate what changes would occur once the poison of the毒龙 was finally completed!
The man continued, “Our Master Lu carries a potent toxin within him, one even the Zun cannot easily resist. However, due to Master Lu’s level restrictions, his strength is somewhat weakened. Not long ago, we came across some information related to the Zun!”
“Oh?” Lu Yu became interested.
He had actually already gained a considerable amount of knowledge leading toward the ultimate mastery.
However, it’s not easy for everyone to eventually become the Supreme Being.
Moreover, breaking through the shackles of the Star Lord’s limit is extremely difficult.
Otherwise, Lu Yu wouldn’t have been stuck at this bottleneck for so long.
The Supreme is called the Supreme, for even a single mountain’s might is but one peak.
To become a Sovereign, one must at least accumulate the power of a single Sovereign within their body before they can truly be considered a Sovereign.
And a power like Bai Zhan’s, which is as strong as the Four Sovereigns, is already very formidable!
When the Supreme Being appears, people begin to pay attention to every piece of information about the Supreme Being.
It can only be obtained from the Supreme Information.
Therefore, even a single piece of information is already priceless.
Moreover, the information provided by the representatives of the Celestial Deity Organization would not be limited to just a little!
If these materials are not duplicates of what Lu Yu has already obtained, they could increase his chances of advancing to the Zun level and speed up the process!
“Please speak!” Lu Yu said solemnly, his ears perked up in intense focus.
The person glanced around to confirm they were alone before saying, “The power of Qianshan is considered one of the Sovereigns; only in this way can one be qualified as a Sovereign. I believe Mr. Lu has some connection with the Sovereign and likely has learned some information about advancing to the Sovereign level. Advancement to the Sovereign differs for each individual, yet ultimately results in a similar enhancement. What we’ve obtained is merely a small portion of the complete information.”
As he spoke, the man paused for a moment and continued, “The easiest way to advance is to refine one’s physical body. Once a certain level is reached, one can complete the process by using a grade-nine star spirit stone and some other materials to fuse them into the body. I believe Mr. Lu should already know about this method, although you have yet to proceed with it, am I right?”
The person spoke unhurriedly, revealing an advanced method. His intention was to inform Lu Yu that he truly knew how to advance to the Supreme level, aiming to capture Lu Yu’s attention!
He saw Lu Yu nodding solemnly, a slight smile forming on his face, knowing that he had succeeded.
Lu Yu said coldly, “Regarding the methods to break through the Star Lord’s limit, from the easiest to the most difficult, I know them all. The simplest way is to rely on items to break through, while the hardest is to do so without any items. If you don’t have a method that can ensure my success, I think you won’t be able to exchange for the Demon Body.”
“If there were no effective method, I wouldn’t be here talking about it,” the person said confidently, smiling. “The hardest method is to do it without any props. However, there is another method—somewhat a shortcut, yet not quite a shortcut.”
Lu Yu said, “Oh, I haven’t heard of this method before. Tell me about it.”
“This method was purchased at a high price from a devil lord of the demon race. Or perhaps it’s simply only suitable for the demon race’s powerful physique. Unfortunately, it’s far too dangerous; no one has ever succeeded, and thus it became merely a legend, forgotten by people. However, we believe that judging from Mr. Lu’s physical strength, you might actually make it,” the visitor said, “Through the hellfire, one can refine the demonic body a hundred times, elevating the魔躯 to an entirely new level—that is the way to breakthrough! If Mr. Lu can endure the pain of being burned alive, after a hundred refinements, there would be no need for further breakthroughs. Of course, if Mr. Lu is willing, you could also refine all these together with your body, and eventually everything will become part of your flesh and blood!”
“This is—” Lu Yu listened, his heart suddenly pounding with alarm.
How similar this is to the fiery trials of the hundred refinements.
However, this is not refining the bones, but rather the blood and flesh.
Hellfire—
In the demon race, Hellfire is the fire of molten lava.
Is this going to place oneself into lava for a hundred refinements?
Lu Yu approached the person and took the piece of paper handed to him.
It is recorded above: Dragon Blood, Supreme Blood, Supreme Bone, Star Artifact…
Dozens of different materials, each one is not only priceless but also extremely difficult to obtain.
There is no absolute strongest material; there’s always something stronger. Some materials might even be beyond the reach of the most powerful beings.
Moreover, within it, there is a detailed method of tempering a hundred times, which is extremely rigorous!
If even star-forging artifacts can be fused into one’s flesh and blood, this is no longer merely the Hundred Refinements Demonic Body; it’s practically akin to forging a star artifact itself.
If one were to actually collect all of these, the cost alone would be enough to bankrupt a person.
No, even if China goes bankrupt, it may not necessarily succeed!
The theory behind this method of adding materials is that all materials can be incorporated!
Actually, it is about extracting the essence from all materials and forging it into the most perfect supreme body.
The man took a deep breath, somewhat excited and even thrilled as he said, “If successful, once you break through the Star Lord’s limit, you could slay a Supreme with just one strike of power! Without an exceptionally strong physical body, entering the sea of fire would be nothing but suicide. Moreover, this advanced method only works for Star Lords, and is ineffective for others. At the Star Lord level, gathering so many resources would be impossible for just anyone. If anyone could do it, I suppose it would be only Mr. Lu. If he succeeds, he will undoubtedly be the greatest of all time!”
“Good, very good!”
“Although the conditions are harsh and this would be useless to others, I’ll take it,” Lu Yu said with a laugh, carefully putting the documents away. He then asked, “You want to exchange this information for sixty magic bodies, right?”
“That’s right, a total of one hundred demonic bodies!” The newcomer saw Lu Yu asking for the information and immediately laughed as well.
This information is worthless, even to the highest authority, if sold to others.
The Supreme One has no use for him. The Star Lord wants him, but he has no money, no such powerful body.
This information is only useful for Lu Yu.
The Celestial Deity Organization spent five demonic bodies to obtain from a Demon Lord, and then sold them as sixty in one transaction, making an elevenfold profit. That’s what you call doing business.
The transaction is completed.
The man smiled and left, finally making an agreement with Lu Yu that if he found something of equal or higher rank than the materials, he would definitely seek out Lu Yu for a trade.
Lu Yu had just seen off the member of the Tian Shen organization when he began muttering to himself, “Given the current situation, I should have no problem asking the Ghost Lord and Elder Zhan Mo for some blood. And as for Bai Zhan, I can squeeze some out of him too. Hmm, Hydra’s blood would work. If I kill him, I might even get the Supreme Bone.”
