Chapter 248 Departure, Extraterritorial Battlefield!
"The expansion of this inner world is finally complete."
Inside the Shiyuan Hall, Chen Yuan felt the world within his body, which had a diameter of 3 million kilometers, and let out a long sigh of relief.
It's really not easy.
This was the first time he had spent so much time improving his strength; it took him a full five hundred years to cultivate from the initial stage of becoming a Realm Lord to the peak of the Realm Lord realm.
Of course, thanks to the accelerated time at the Shiyuan Hall, the entire process actually only took a little over three years.
The optimization of this treasure in the Shiyuan Hall was completed long ago, taking only 42 days in total.
It didn't interfere with his cultivation at all.
However, the results of this optimization can only be described as barely satisfactory.
[Primordial Palace: Ninth Rank, Level 1, Ordinary Supreme Treasure-level Flying Palace, possessing four major abilities:]
1. Absolute Defense (Can withstand material attacks from a third-order universe master and reduce soul attacks)
2. Maximum speed (up to 280 times the speed of light)
3. Mustard Seed Mount Sumeru (containing a vast world spanning millions of kilometers)
4. Moment of Eternity (Adjusts the flow rate of time, up to 360 times)
Indeed, compared to its previous state as a treasure, the upgraded Shiyuan Palace, while not particularly outstanding in defensive capabilities, has only seen minor improvements in its other three attributes.
Ultimately, it was due to a lack of materials. Relying solely on the scraps of that treasure worth 248 billion points, they could only upgrade the defense of the Shiyuan Palace to the level of a treasure.
Want to upgrade other functions? You'll need to find even more precious materials.
Therefore, Chen Yuan only optimized the Shiyuan Hall to level nine before stopping.
After all, without the corresponding materials, the higher the grade of the Shiyuan Hall, the more mediocre its attributes will be, and it will also consume optimization attempts.
If he were to forcibly optimize the Shiyuan Palace to the peak of the ninth rank now, he would only obtain the weakest peak treasure in history, and even if he found the materials later, he would not be able to optimize it further, rendering the treasure useless.
Given Chen Yuan's personality, he certainly wouldn't do something so short-sighted as to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. He could only use it as is for now and continue to improve it when he found suitable materials later.
Therefore, the time acceleration function of the Shiyuan Hall has not changed much compared to before; the regular acceleration has only increased from 150...
The increase was only 160 times, but the cultivation plan still ended as originally scheduled.
As for the changes in his strength, after more than 300 years of hard training, his Ancient Dragon Body has now reached the fourth stage of perfection, and his body amplitude has reached 27 times!
Normally, the fourth transformation of the Ancient Dragon Body should provide 8 times the amplitude, but because it conflicted with the previously cultivated "Nine Luminaries Body", the total amplitude was reduced by half.
However, an amplitude of 27 times is already quite astonishing. It should be noted that many powerful experts at the limit of the King level only have an amplitude of three to five times. Only invincible experts at the King level who have received the inheritance of the Divine General can possess such a powerful amplitude.
With such a high amplitude, coupled with 60 times the gene level and the power of Blood Luo, Chen Yuan's basic combat strength directly broke through 100,000 times the power of a World Lord, comparable to a peak King-level expert.
If we add the 45000-fold increase from the "Power of General Armor," that's nearly 150,000 times the power of a Realm Lord, and their basic combat strength would surpass that of a peak King-level expert under normal circumstances.
Of course, all powerful beings above the Immortal level know how to unleash the explosive power of burning divine power, which can instantly increase their strength tenfold. Chen Yuan cannot do this.
Therefore, even with the power of his treasures, Chen Yuan could only gain a slight advantage in battles against peak-level King-level experts; killing one was virtually impossible.
However, battles between immortal powerhouses are inherently difficult to result in kills. Under normal circumstances, to kill a low-level King, one must be at the peak of the King level.
Because a beginner-level King burns divine power, which just reaches the lower limit of the peak King level, and burning divine power cannot be sustained. As long as a peak King has patience, he can slowly wear down a beginner-level King.
"In other words, with my current strength, when I unleash my full power, I am equivalent to the peak of a top-tier King, and I can easily kill a low-level King."
Chen Yuan secretly assessed, "Of course, if I'm lucky, I can barely kill a high-level King, provided that the opponent doesn't escape."
The power of a high-ranking king is 3 times that of a realm lord, which means that burning divine power can achieve 30 times the power.
While this strength wouldn't be able to harm Chen Yuan, if the opponent was determined to escape, it would be difficult to stop him unless his time-stopping ability hit.
"With my strength, even the peak of the King-level group is not weak, and in terms of survival ability, even the Universe Venerable cannot kill me."
"In that case—" —Let's set off! "Let's head to the extraterritorial battlefield now.
Although Chen Yuan's secret technique has not yet reached its peak, at his level of strength, even if the secret technique were to be upgraded to another level, it would still be difficult to kill an opponent of the same level.
Moreover, on the battlefield outside the domain, he has plenty of time to cultivate secret techniques, and there are countless powerful alien races who can serve as sparring partners, so his cultivation efficiency is no worse than that of secluded cultivation.
With this in mind, Chen Yuan entered the virtual universe of Yuxiang Mountain, went to the computer in his study, opened the background management file, and selected "Outward Training - Extraterritorial Battlefield".
Just then, a warning message suddenly popped up on the screen:
[Chen Yuan, it has been detected that you have only been cultivating for three years since you broke through to the Realm Lord level, which is too short a period of time.]
According to statistics, the mortality rate for Realm Lords who haven't cultivated enough time and enter the extraterritorial battlefield is as high as 99.99%!
For safety reasons, it is recommended that you cultivate for over a thousand years, or enter Chaos City to cultivate for over three hundred years, before entering the extraterritorial battlefield.
"A mortality rate of 99.99%?" Chen Yuan smiled slightly, not caring.
He naturally understood the company's concerns. In fact, for ordinary core members at the realm master level, after only three years, they could at most raise their strength to the peak of the realm master level.
However, their understanding of laws and secret techniques are still at the domain lord level, and they cannot even acknowledge the fundamental laws.
Such strength would basically make them cannon fodder within the realm lord group.
But this is clearly not a problem for these geniuses. In fact, as core members, even those who have just broken through to the realm master level can easily gain the recognition of the source law after cultivating for a period of time.
If one cultivates for a thousand years as advised by the company, one can basically reach the level of "World Lord Warrior", which will greatly increase the survival rate in the outer battlefield.
However, this suggestion is not applicable to Chen Yuan, since his strength has far exceeded the level of a normal genius.
To be comparable to a peak-level King with the status of a Realm Lord? In the original story, Luo Feng only had this much strength when he obtained the identity of "King of the Blade River".
Therefore, Chen Yuan naturally ignored the system's warning and directly clicked "Confirm entry into the extraterritorial battlefield".
However, not long after he confirmed it, he suddenly received another email.
Upon opening it, I found it was from Senior Brother Youhou, asking him to come over.
"Could it be because of the training?" Chen Yuan wondered to himself, while simultaneously teleporting to Thunder Island.
Inside the palace of Lord Youhou on the highest level of Thunder Island,
As soon as Chen Yuan entered, he saw the figure of Lord Youhou and quickly stepped forward: "Senior Brother Youhou, you were looking for me?"
"Hmm." Lord Youhou nodded, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "Junior Brother, I just received your application to go out for training. Are you going to the extraterritorial battlefield?"
"Yes."
Chen Yuan nodded in confirmation.
"But you've only been a little over three years since you broke through to the Realm Lord level," Lord Youhou frowned slightly. "How much can your strength have improved in such a short time?"
"Actually, it's not short, Senior Brother." Chen Yuan smiled. "I have a treasure that can maintain a 150-fold time acceleration."
"Although I have only been a World Lord for three years, if you include the time I spent in seclusion at the Domain Lord level, I have actually been cultivating for more than ten thousand years, and I have mastered almost all kinds of secret techniques."
"Oh? I didn't expect you to have such an encounter." Lord Youhou raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile appearing on his face. "Ten thousand years of cultivation? How far have your secret techniques progressed?"
"The Ancient Dragon Body has reached the fourth stage of perfection." Chen Yuan said softly, "The other major techniques are also at the third stage of perfection."
'
"Four Transformations Perfected?!" Lord Youhou was immediately astonished: "Your comprehension of the laws has reached the King-level?"
"Not yet, it's currently at the level of the seventeenth floor of the Sky Bridge."
Chen Yuan shook his head. Although his level of understanding of the laws had improved considerably through the study of the secret runes over the past two years, he had not yet reached the eighteenth level.
He continued to explain, "I was able to cultivate the Four Transformations Ancient Dragon Body because I comprehended the Beast God's intent of the Four Transformations."
"I see."
Lord Youhou finally understood and exclaimed, "To be able to cultivate to the fourth transformation of riding the wind, your secret techniques are already no weaker than those of a King. If you learn all the ultimate moves of the fourth transformation, you might even be able to pass through the Heavenly Bridge at the Realm Lord level."
"In that case, I won't stop you from going to the extraterritorial battlefield—but you should still be careful."
"I will." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Yes, go ahead." Lord Youhou smiled.
After exiting the virtual universe, Chen Yuan immediately arrived above the manor, raised his hand to summon the Primordial Palace, and stepped inside.
"Let's go, Irene."
Chen Yuan ordered, "Target: The extraterritorial battlefield!"
"Yes, sir!"
