Chapter 48 Strength Enhancement!
They had all been to the Chaos Ruins before and were very familiar with it.
not far away
The tall man in dark red armor slowly turned around, and when his calm, unfathomable gaze swept over the crowd, the entire space seemed to freeze.
"Greetings, Lord of Chaos City!" The crowd bowed in greeting.
The Lord of Chaos City nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, thousands of streams of light of uniform color poured forth from his palm like a cascading galaxy, landing precisely in the hands of each Venerable.
Everyone looked down and saw a transparent vial containing a golden liquid that emitted a soft glow.
"This is a life gene potion," the Chaos City Lord said. "It can help you raise your life gene level to 100 times. Take it here."
"What?!"
"100 times the level of life's genetic makeup!"
"Is this... free for us to use?"
The assembled Venerables stared blankly at the potion in their hands.
Below the level of the Lord of the Universe, the limit of the genetic level of life is 100 times.
It may not seem like a high level, but very few people can actually achieve it.
Among the thousands of venerable ones present, most had a life gene level of only about 10 times, a few could reach 20 or 30 times, and those exceeding 50 times were extremely rare.
The reason is that higher-end life genetic materials are extremely rare and are basically controlled by the clan. They are not sold to outsiders at all, but are only distributed in limited quantities based on the clan's contribution.
Treasures like Blood Crystal, which are produced in relatively large quantities, are sold through auctions every so often, and at exorbitant prices.
But what does that mean now?
They're too lazy to even hold an auction, they're just giving it away?
When did the ethnic group become so generous?
Venerable Zhenyan stood in the crowd, looking at the test tube in his hand, his eyes flickering.
After hesitating for a moment, he removed the metal cap from the test tube, poured the golden liquid into his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.
He certainly wouldn't dare drink the potion if it were given to him by a friend, but it was given to him by the Lord of Chaos City, and each of the Venerables present had one, so naturally he wouldn't harm them.
"Ugh!" His body trembled, and a muffled groan escaped his throat. He felt countless hot, molten lava-like tearing sensations pierce through every inch of his bone and flesh... even his soul felt a chill.
However, this pain was nothing to a Venerable who had experienced countless life-and-death battles; he could endure it for a while and it would pass quickly.
With a "whoosh," Venerable Zhenyan stretched his body, his bones emitting a series of cracking sounds that even caused the surrounding space to tremble.
"Awesome!" Venerable Zhenyan couldn't help but let out a low shout, his eyes bursting with an unprecedented light.
With his life gene level increasing 100 times, his strength also increased 10 times, leaping from a middle-level Venerable to a high-level Venerable!
Compared to established high-level Venerables, he was only weaker in terms of physical amplification and weaponry. In terms of secret techniques, after countless eons, his ultimate skills were infinitely close to the 'ultimate' level.
"Boom!" An even more terrifying aura erupted from the Bloodwing Venerable's body not far away.
His six pairs of blood-red wings suddenly unfurled, each pair expanding to over a thousand meters in length, their edges flowing with blinding crimson light. The surrounding space crumbled and shattered with the flapping of his wings.
The surrounding venerable ones all turned to look at the six-winged man with envious eyes.
"Cosmic Overlord!"
"Bloodwing was already a veteran high-level Venerable, and with the improvement of his life gene level, he was indeed able to take this step."
But before they could even process this shock...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Within a minute, more than three hundred powerful auras erupted from within the Chaos Ruins!
Cultivators like Venerable Leiming and Venerable Beiming, who had long been stuck at the High Venerable realm, seized the opportunity to cross the threshold to become cosmic overlords.
"Good heavens, over three hundred cosmic overlords have been born just like that?" Venerable Tai Pei of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank felt like he was dreaming.
Above, the Chaos City Lord nodded in satisfaction; the effect was truly impressive.
Humanity possesses thousands of Venerable Ones, but most are stuck at the middle or high level; the number of cosmic overlords is limited.
This time, the intermediate Venerable One leaped to the advanced Venerable One, and the advanced Venerable One leaped to the cosmic overlord, raising their overall strength to a whole new level.
He then said, "Your life gene levels have all been raised to the 100-fold limit. After you go back, be careful to keep it a secret and don't expose yourself too early."
Everyone nodded
Because of the existence of the Star Lord, humanity is now the undisputed number one race in the primordial universe, even ranking first in the entire cosmic ocean. But secrets are best kept hidden as long as possible, giving the enemy a surprise.
At this moment, Thunder Venerable, who had ascended to the status of a cosmic overlord, stepped forward and said, "City Lord, I have a question for you."
The Lord of Chaos looked at him: "Ask away."
"Was this gene serum a free gift from our tribe?"
The others also looked at the Lord of Chaos City, clearly wanting to know the answer as well.
As Venerable Ones, they couldn't even obtain low-level life gene materials like the Blood of the Beast God or Blood Crystals for free, let alone gene potions that could raise the level of life genes by 100 times. It was hard not to suspect ulterior motives when someone suddenly gave them something like this.
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on his face: "Hehe, you guessed right. You wouldn't normally be able to get such resources for free."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, the Star Lord of our race has personally ordered that all powerful members of our race who become Venerables will receive a free Life Gene Potion, and you are the first Venerables to be among the first to benefit from this."
The thousands of Venerables instantly erupted in chaos.
"It's actually related to that person."
"The Lord of the Stars is truly generous."
"When will the Lord of the Stars release the number of places available for the Void Temple to study?"
"You're taking everything with you!"
Upon hearing that familiar name, a hint of regret flashed in Venerable Zhenyan's eyes.
Once upon a time, that man was just an ordinary immortal king; he missed the best opportunity to pledge allegiance to him.
Venerable Yanlong, who was standing to the side, suddenly realized that it wasn't that the clan had become more generous, but that Lord Xingyu had taken action!
Having spent so many years in the Void Temple, he knew that Lord Xingyu had specifically approved two palaces to serve as a pharmaceutical laboratory and a pharmaceutical factory; this life gene potion most likely originated from there.
He knew a little about the situation there, though others might not.
The cost of those in-demand potions of divine power was incredibly low, definitely not as exorbitant as rumored. The situation with these life-gene potions is probably similar.
"No wonder the master was willing to supply life gene potions in large quantities," Venerable Yanlong thought to himself.
The Chaos City Lord glanced at the astonished crowd: "Alright, now that you know the reason, you may all return."
He raised his arm and waved it lightly, causing the entire space to ripple. Thousands of Venerables were swept away by an immense force.
Only the Lord of Chaos City remains in this ruined continent.
"Divine power potions, gene potions... Starry Sky, humanity is becoming increasingly dependent on you." The Chaos City Lord sat cross-legged, silently gazing at the countless corpses below.
