Chapter 176 Resource Quota
The moment Chen Yuan stepped onto the twentieth island, an unprecedented pressure of consciousness suddenly descended. However, this pressure was not only powerful but also extremely condensed, since the consciousness of this layer was also governed by the will of a peak-level King.
Therefore, Chen Yuan's idea of using the "Sword of the Heart" to fight head-on on the 19th floor is no longer feasible.
But he was prepared.
"Harmony between humanity and nature!"
As the sacred embryo resonated with the origin of the universe, a vast primordial power instantly amplified Chen Yuan's consciousness.
With a boom, Chen Yuan's consciousness seemed to put on a coat, or rather, armor, its strength instantly increased by more than a hundred times, and the gap between it and the consciousness of the Illusionary Sea was directly reduced to ten times.
This small difference was enough for him to launch a counterattack.
Moreover, this layer of protection means that the opponent's consciousness must first break through this fundamental protection before it can reach Chen Yuan's consciousness.
As the Holy Embryo continuously provides primordial energy, it keeps this protective layer at its peak. In contrast, the consciousness of the Illusionary Sea dissipates bit by bit without any replenishment.
Therefore, Chen Yuan didn't care about the cost at all, and once again condensed the "Sword of the Heart" to exchange blows with his opponent in a mutually destructive manner.
In reality, he was only consuming the power of the universe's origin. His own consciousness remained at its peak, but the consciousness of the Illusionary Sea was constantly being depleted in each collision.
With the balance of power shifting, the scales of victory gradually tipped.
After a long and drawn-out battle, when Chen Yuan shattered the last wisp of illusionary consciousness, the trial of the twentieth island came to an end!
"Phew—it wasn't easy."
Chen Yuan dispelled the blessing of the primordial power of the universe and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the consciousness of the Illusionary Sea cannot be replenished, otherwise I really might not have been able to pass through."
Consuming the consciousness of the illusion is a shortcut, since it avoids facing the subsequent trials of the illusion.
Although Chen Yuan's willpower was strong enough to get through the illusion, there was still a chance of failure.
In comparison, summoning the help of the source land is the safest approach.
With 50 million points credited to his account, Chen Yuan's total points surpassed 100 million, a fortune comparable to that of a King-level expert.
"Having passed through 20 levels, only the last level of this Illusionary Sea remains."
After resting for a while, Chen Yuan looked at the last island in the distance and said, "Since we're already here, it would be a shame not to check it out."
The thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Yuan took to the air, flying towards the 21st island.
However, the moment he stepped into the island's territory, boom!
An unimaginable, terrifying pressure crashed down like the collapse of the sky. Chen Yuan didn't even have time to activate his Holy Embryo before his consciousness defense crumbled under this Venerable-level pressure.
Everything went black, and when I opened my eyes again, I was back at my residence on Yuxiang Mountain.
"Is this the pressure of a Venerable-level consciousness? It's terrifying."
Chen Yuan was still shaken. The oppressive force arrived too quickly, leaving him no time to communicate with his source. He was blasted away in an instant.
However, he also knew that even with the power of origin protecting him, it would be useless against this level of pressure, since the gap between the two sides was too great.
Chen Yuan's current soul strength is a thousand times weaker than that of a peak King, and the peak King is a hundred times weaker than that of a low-level Venerable.
In other words, the consciousness strength of a beginner Venerable is a full 100,000 times that of him! Add to that the opponent's willpower being a hundred times greater than his own, and it would be a miracle if he could even pass.
"However, being able to pass through 20 floors should have surprised many people, and may even have alarmed the human race's high-ranking officials."

"Anyway, with the Chaos City Lord's certification, even if these people feel something is wrong, they can't trace it back to me. Let them talk to Uncle Chaos."
The thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Yuan quickly put it aside. He opened the "Treasure Vault" and looked at his remaining points.
[Name: Chen Yuan (Universe-level Member of the Apocalyptic Secret Realm)]
Remaining points: 104929500
There are still 492 million points left out of 100 million!
"That should be enough to cover my expenses."
Looking at the long string of numbers on the account, Chen Yuan's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.
He tapped the virtual screen to enter the treasure vault interface: "My permissions have been upgraded, so I should be able to buy all the cultivation materials for 'Shining Body' now."
Sure enough, with the upgrade of permissions, the variety of resources available in the treasure vault increased significantly, making it much easier to collect all the resources related to "Shiyao Shen".
Previously, Chen Yuan spent about 70 Mixed Yuan Units to collect the materials for the first six levels of "Shiyao Body". Now, after spending 1500 million points, he has also bought all the resources for the last three levels.
"They actually have the option to send you directly to Chaos City."
When choosing a delivery location, Chen Yuan noticed that he had an additional option called "Chaos City". Then he realized, "That's right, after Luo Feng became the master of the Chaos City Lord, he can also deliver goods to Chaos City."
"They can even deliver resources directly, not just those purchased from the treasure vault!"
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan opened the 'Nutrition Pod' delivery page and found the option to deliver to Chaos City.
"Great, this access is really good."
Chen Yuan directly chose his residence in Chaos City as the delivery location for the resources he purchased, as well as the cosmic-level nutrient capsules.
Immediately after he clicked confirm, a communication request popped up in front of him.
After the call connected, a pretty young woman in a company uniform answered. She smiled at Chen Yuan and said in a clear voice, "Your Highness Chen Yuan, are the treasures and nutrient capsules you just purchased in the treasury being sent to Chaos City?"
"That's right." Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Please send it over as soon as possible."
"learn."
The girl in uniform smiled sweetly: "With His Highness Chen Yuan's authority, all the items you need will be delivered to Chaos City within three days."
After hanging up the call, Chen Yuan brought up the permissions details page.
He remembered that his senior brother Youhou had once said that with his current privileges, he could obtain certain valuable resources for free.
"Huh, what are these—"
Opening the 'Resource Quota' page reveals a dazzling array of treasures, including items that enhance bloodline levels, improve law talents, and even those related to gene multiplication.
For example, the 'Blood Crystal' is within his free quota, a total of one hundred.
However, after carefully reviewing the document, Chen Yuan was somewhat disappointed.
Because the effects of these resources were not as strong as imagined; in fact, those 100 Blood Crystals were the most precious treasures among them.
For example, treasures that enhance genes, apart from Blood Crystals, can only raise a person's gene level by about 3 times. If the gene level has already exceeded 3 times, they may even be ineffective.
The treasures that can upgrade bloodline level only have a maximum limit of peak Domain Lord level bloodline, not even reaching the level of World Lord bloodline.
As for treasures that can enhance various law talents, they can only raise the law talents to the level of members of the Doomsday Secret Realm at most.
Of course, it's not that these resources aren't valuable; in fact, any one of them is worth no less than 10 points.
These resources, excluding Blood Crystals, are worth at least several thousand points. Some treasures even require certain permissions to purchase, while others are simply non-saleable or prohibited items.
For example, Blood Crystals. Don't be fooled by the fact that the company only buys them for 600 points each in the original story. That's because their production area, "Blood Continent," is a welfare secret realm that the company provides to its universe-level members. Of course, the purchase price can't be based on their true value.
In fact, such a treasure would be of great use even to a Universe Venerable. If it were auctioned off in the Hong Alliance, it could even cause King-level experts to fight tooth and nail for it.
It can only be said that improving a person's qualifications in all aspects requires a huge price to pay, and the higher you go, the more resources are consumed, making it completely not worth the effort.
However, while these resources might be of little use to others, Chen Yuan has an optimization system. If he optimizes these treasures, their effects will definitely be more significant.
However, Chen Yuan was not prepared to cash out the quota immediately, because he was still in Chaos City at this time.
The entire primordial universe was under the observation of the Lord of Chaos City. No secret could escape his eyes. Given Chen Yuan's cautious nature, how could he possibly expose his ability to optimize items?
Even those three items from the Primordial Palace, he secretly placed them in the optimization panel before entering the initial universe, and he would not retrieve them before leaving the initial universe.
However, there is one treasure that can be claimed immediately: the Blood Crystal.
"Even with optimization, the Blood Crystal's maximum potential is probably only at the level of 'Blood of the Beast God'."
?
"In that case, while I'm in Chaos City, I can try to fuse some of them first. Even if I can't become a Blood Warrior or a Black Warrior, I can still improve my Law Talent."
With this in mind, Chen Yuan did not hesitate and exchanged all 100 Blood Crystals within his quota.
