The human is devouring, a new talent every month.

Chapter 77 The supreme authority of a domain lord—you only realize how little money you have when you need it!

It had been less than half a day since Lu Ming broke through.

The personnel from the Virtual Universe Company stationed on the continent of Wuchen immediately rushed to his manor territory.

"Your Highness Lu Ming, the virtual universe network has detected through your network connection device that you have reached the Domain Lord level. According to company regulations, we need to confirm this in reality." Three black-clad stewards stood respectfully in front of Lu Ming, who revealed a slight smile. Whether it was the consciousness-sensing helmet or the intelligent light brain, etc.

Most devices equipped with network connectivity also come with a "body check" device.

However, those devices are all quite basic and not very accurate, so real-world inspection is necessary for confirmation.

"I understand." Lu Ming nodded.

With the aid of instruments from the three black-clad envoys, Lu Ming underwent tests to confirm his telekinetic power, primal force, and blood.

"It has been verified that Your Highness's body can be significantly enhanced, reaching the ninth level of Domain Lord," the leading black-clad envoy respectfully reported. "Your Highness, all verification information has been simultaneously transmitted into the virtual universe network. Congratulations on reaching the Domain Lord level!"

It's hard to imagine.

This cosmic-level genius, who had crossed the 11th level of the Heavenly Bridge before even leaving Chaos City, broke through to become a Domain Lord before the first qualifying battle for cosmic-level members even began. At this time, Lu Ming's understanding of the laws was already comparable to that of a Marquis-level Immortal God.

That's absolutely terrifying!

"Since Your Highness has been confirmed as a Domain Lord, then according to the rules, Your Highness will have one more opportunity to strengthen your body." The head black-clad steward smiled, his purple eyes full of friendliness. "We have brought the nutrient capsule, which is filled with enough nutrient solution to strengthen Your Highness to the ninth level of Domain Lord."

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

That's how the Virtual Universe Company works. No one needs to waste time accumulating energy. Once you step into the first level of the Domain Lord, you can directly strengthen yourself to the ninth level of the Domain Lord through the nutrient tank!

"call!"

A nutrient tank, entirely the color of rock gray, suddenly appeared before Lu Ming. Its seemingly ancient appearance suggested it was quite expensive. Of course, the "nutrient solution" inside was the truly valuable component!

The black-clad steward looked at the rock-gray nutrient tank, secretly thinking to himself that Prince Lu Ming really had a lot of nutrient solution.

Although he didn't understand why, even though they were all at the first level of Domain Lord, some core geniuses required more nutrient solution for evolution than most geniuses.

However, since he took charge of this task at the Virtual Universe Company, the highest quota he has ever encountered has only been a little over ten times the normal quota.

And what about this Prince Lu Ming in front of us?

That's a full one hundred times the normal quota!

Nutrient solution, as a precious substance that promotes the evolution of body and soul, can evolve to the peak of its current level in a very short time, and is very different from normal energy.

Like "Cosmic Crystals," which are formed by condensing the primordial energy of the universe, their efficiency in recovery and cultivation is extremely slow, and they offer limited help in the energy accumulation process.

Even the nutrient solutions from the outside world that come with side effects are extremely expensive, while the Virtual Universe Company provides its members with the highest quality ones that are not available outside.

This top-grade nutrient solution, the nutrient solution quota for just one ordinary domain lord-level core member, is worth tens of thousands of Chaos Yuan units, completely comparable to the entire fortune of an ordinary immortal god.

"Besides the nutrient solution, there is something else I need to tell you, Your Highness!" the head black-clad steward continued.

Lu Ming stood aside and listened.

"According to the regulations of my Virtual Universe Company, Your Highness, once you reach the Domain Lord level, you must be transferred to a new post!"

The black-clad steward looked at Lu Ming and said gently, "According to convention, core members at the Domain Lord level are usually sent to their home universe. Your Highness, your home is the Golden Mist Universe. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to take up an important position in your home universe? If not, Your Highness can choose any other universe."

"I am willing to go to the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom!" Lu Ming nodded and said.

"Your Highness!"

The head black-clad steward respectfully said, "Because you are a member of the Primal Secret Realm, your authority is extremely high. Therefore, your appointment requires a process. Generally speaking, the appointment will be completed within six months. Please wait patiently, Your Highness."

"Yes!" Lu Ming nodded.

He didn't have anything urgent to attend to when he returned to the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom, so he didn't care how long it took for the appointment to be issued.

For Lu Ming, this was a perfect opportunity to digest what he had gained in the cultivation mission world and improve his own strength.

Some of his equipment needs to be replaced, and he also needs to purchase additional content for secret techniques such as "Time and Space Notes" and "Universal Theory".

Support the cultivation of energy life and plant life...

Lu Ming has too many things to do, including even purchasing new spaceships.

During his cosmic-level cultivation missions, Lu Ming had become accustomed to the extremely advanced F-class spaceships provided by the Virtual Universe Company, and naturally looked down on his original E-class spaceship.

In terms of speed alone, there is an insurmountable gap between the two.

The F-class spaceships equipped by Virtual Universe Company can typically reach speeds of 50 times the speed of light in the dark universe.

The E-class spaceship that Lu Ming had previously purchased only reached a top speed of 15 times the speed of light.

Besides these, there are many other things to do.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Lu Ming's mind.

"Your Highness, the matter is settled, we will not disturb you any longer." The three black-clad stewards bowed respectfully, then transformed into three streaks of light and left the hall.

……

After the three staff members left, Lu Ming sat in the main seat, looking at the nutrient tanks left behind by the three in the hall, and pondered in his heart.

"Once my main body evolves to the peak of the Domain Lord level through the nutrient solution, the Ultimate Flame clone can also continue to improve its life level... The Ultimate Flame clone at the ninth level of the Domain Lord level has a basic strength comparable to an ordinary ninth level World Lord, it just cannot perform world projection yet."

Moreover, unlike the main body which has few amplification methods, the Ultimate Flame clone has mastered the third level of the "Tempering" secret technique, possessing a body amplification of 36 times. In addition, it also has the unique talent ability "Incineration", which allows it to unleash an additional 36 times the base power.

A ninth-tier Domain Lord-level Ultimate Flame Avatar can unleash power up to approximately 1000 times that of a peak Realm Lord!

It should be noted that an ordinary military-level immortal is only 100 to 1000 times the basic power of a peak realm master.

"If I add my incredibly amazing understanding of the laws, if the Ultimate Flame Avatar really goes all out, I reckon it could even go head-to-head with an immortal god who has barely reached the rank of Marquis!" After all, the Ultimate Flame Avatar also has the heaven-defying talent ability of 'Void Control', so if a real fight breaks out, the initiative in the battle will be completely in his hands.

I don't know, I was taken aback.

This extraordinary life clone, with 3600 times the life gene strength, is indeed a bit overpowered in combat.

Of course, this is also due to Lu Ming's own strong understanding of the laws and his fortuitous encounter in the Misty Star System, which caused the life crystal core of the Ultimate Flame clone to undergo a transformation.

"With this kind of strength, I feel like I could barely make a name for myself on the extraterrestrial battlefield." For a moment, Lu Ming was in a good mood, and then a wisp of his consciousness reconnected to the virtual universe network.

After advancing to the Domain Lord level, his permissions were greatly enhanced, and many treasures that previously restricted him from purchasing or even querying information now had access to him.

……

Virtual universe, Yuxiang Mountain, primitive zone.

Inside Lu Ming's study at his manor.

"Alice, compile a list of everything I've gained in the secret realm, and mark its value. I need to know exactly how much wealth I have now before considering buying the items I need," Lu Ming said softly, sitting at his desk.

Previously, Lu Ming had inquired whether he could obtain the permission to exchange money for points in advance.

This was a privilege reserved for immortal gods, one that even members of the Primal Secret Realm's master level could not possess. However, the back-end management of the Virtual Universe Company gave Lu Ming a direct affirmative answer.

At the cosmic level, certain restrictions on authority exist primarily because the cultivation world doesn't want geniuses to rely too heavily on external forces, thus neglecting the improvement of their own strength.

Now that Lu Ming has broken through to the Domain Lord level, these restrictions are naturally no longer necessary.

His current authority is probably higher than that of many immortal gods who have been granted the title of king.

"Yes, my master!" Alice, the AI ​​assistant, replied with great enthusiasm.

Instantly!

A screen quickly materialized in front of Lu Ming.

Over the years, Lu Ming has also gained a lot of benefits in the process of cultivation and adventure. Although they are somewhat messy, they are all of considerable value.

Lu Ming looked calmly at the list of items on the screen.

First, let's talk about points.

In the initial thirty years of the universe, he had accumulated more than 400 million points.

In the forty years since he left Chaos City, he has spent a considerable amount of his points, part of which was used to cultivate the first level of the "Tempering" secret technique and purchase many precious resources.

The other major expenses were spent cultivating the two auxiliary life forms, 'Firefly Flame' and 'Blood Abyss Grass,' to the ninth rank of the Realm Lord level. Other expenses, such as purchasing an E9-class spaceship, can be ignored.

As for points earned, he received the maximum points reward for all seven dangerous missions and the only perilous mission, "The Lost Galaxy," which he completed, totaling approximately 150 million points. In addition, he recently completed four levels of the Sky Bridge, which also earned him an extra 372 million points.

Lu Ming now has a whopping 688 million points remaining!

"Only 600 million points? What can you do with that? It's barely enough to buy two F9-class spaceships." Lu Ming shook his head in a Versailles-like manner.

"Master, you already have a lot of points!" Alice, sitting on Lu Ming's shoulder, was speechless.

A Marquis-level Immortal God's total assets are generally around 10 million Chaos Units, which translates to roughly 10 million Points. Their liquid assets are certainly far lower than that.

It's already quite extraordinary for a domain lord to possess 688 million freely disposable points.

"Master, the vast majority of your assets are other treasures that are practically non-saleable!" Alice pointed to the screen in front of her after the screen had switched.

The flawless treasure "Purple Star Wing" is of immeasurable value and cannot be purchased with points at all.

Including the "Silent Demon Sword," there are a total of six incomplete treasures, each worth over 10 billion Chaos Units, and they are also items that are priceless and unavailable for purchase. If a master craftsman could be invited to repair and perfect one of them, its value would be even more outrageous.

As for other treasures obtained from the mission world, such as "Flame Spirit Crystal," "Star Sea Sinking Spirit," and "Star Rain Crystal," as well as special items from the mission world, such as "Mountain Dragon Egg" and "Giant God Potion," although they are also quite valuable, they cannot compare with the value of incomplete treasures like the "Annihilation Demon Sword." All of them together are worth about 300 million Chaos Units.

"Three hundred million Chaos Yuan may seem like a lot, but the things I want to buy are even more expensive. Putting aside everything else, just buying the first seven volumes of 'Notes on Time and Space' and 'An Introduction to the Universe' will cost 2 billion! If I only buy the first six volumes, it will only cost 200 million." In addition, he is now qualified to cultivate the true Beast God Dao Secret Manual, "Seven Guides of Azure Thunder".

The first three volumes of "The Seven Thunderclaps" cost 8 billion, and even if you only buy the first two volumes, it will still cost 80 million!

"Purchasing these exorbitantly priced secret techniques is the real expense. Compared to that, buying an F-class spaceship is a minor matter. And cultivating immortal-level auxiliary life forms, if they continue to evolve towards elites, will also cost at least a billion points!" Money is never enough when you need it. Even though Lu Ming is already wealthy enough, he can hardly afford this expense without selling some of his "estate assets."

"Six incomplete treasures, plus the Flame Heart Spear that Senior Brother Suigu once gave me, are all worth over 10 billion points. I'll choose one of them to sell!" Selling one of them will alleviate his 'financial pressure'.
