If an ordinary expert cannot even break through the opponent's defense, then there is no way they can touch a divine body.
Lu Ming dared to buy because he was confident that his current strength was sufficient.
Unfortunately, Lu Ming doesn't have a clone, and he can't think of any way to obtain one for the time being.
You can't exactly possess a golden-horned behemoth, can you?
He was also a little afraid that the system might disappear after he possessed the body.
He naturally wanted to plan the creation of a clone, but he didn't have the opportunity yet.
Chapter 42 Extinction Stardust
……
Inside the highly secure receiving room of the military base, Lu Ming verified his identity and signed for several sealed special metal boxes filled with powerful law runes, as well as several world rings.
Back in his cultivation residence, after activating all protective and isolation measures, Lu Ming opened one of the smallest boxes, but with the highest level of protection, with a hint of anticipation.
"Firmmore Venom!"
Lu Ming read aloud, "This box contains the expensive and terrifying Femoro Venom."
One gram is worth 300 million units of Hunyuan. He bought three kilograms, which is 900 billion units of Hunyuan.
"I have to be careful. If I accidentally leak even a little bit, I'll be in big trouble."
Lu Ming took a deep breath. He didn't dare to deal with the Femore venom in his inner world, for fear that he might accidentally cause the inner world to collapse and he would perish, which would be a truly unjust death.
"Turn on."
Lu Ming opened it gently.
Snapped.
The box was opened, revealing thirty crystals inside, each containing a mesmerizing purple liquid that flowed slowly like mercury.
"Firmmo Venom, thirty vials, each containing 100 grams of Firmmo Venom."
Femo Venom, worth 300 million Chaos Units per gram, is a terrifying potion concocted by the powerful alchemist 'Femo' among the human race, hence its name. This Femo Venom has a strong corrosive power. This potion was specifically formulated to corrode 'Immortal Divine Bodies'. Generally, 10 grams can corrode and kill a King-level limit powerhouse, and 100 grams of Femo Venom can kill a 'King-level Invincible' powerhouse.
Its power is terrifying.
However, its weaknesses are also obvious.
First, it's a single-use product; every time the venom is used, it's gone. Second, this venom only works when it comes into contact with an immortal divine body.
The powerful beings in the universe almost always wear a layer of armor, and venom has almost no effect on the metal of the armor.
Therefore, it is necessary to tear through the armor to allow the venom to come into contact with the enemy's immortal body. Alternatively, it could attack the face, which is not protected by the armor. Thirdly, Femore venom needs a carrier; the venom must be applied to a weapon, solidified, and then used to attack.
However, after a weapon cuts open the opponent's divine body, only a very small portion of the venom coated on the weapon may enter the enemy's body, causing very little damage each time.
Fourth, assuming 100 grams of venom enters Feng Wang Wudi's body at once, given his strength, if he discovers the venom frantically eroding and annihilating his immortal divine body, he would immediately sacrifice some of his immortal divine power to force the venom out of his body. Perhaps only one or two grams of venom would actually be able to penetrate, with the rest being wasted. Therefore, by using a small amount each time, the venom takes full effect before the enemy even has a chance to expel it.
Four major weaknesses.
The value of Fermoo Venom cannot be compared to some of the most powerful weapons.
But that's more than enough.
"System, sacrifice!"
The moment the command was given, the thirty transistors in front of them, each containing Fermgo Venom, seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force. The breathtaking purple liquid within, along with the transistors themselves, began to blur and become illusory, eventually transforming into streams of extremely pure yet destructive dark purple light, which were sucked into the mysterious vortex deep within the system.
[Ding! Sacrifice successful!]
[Returning funds at a random multiple based on the value of the offerings...]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a 6,000-fold return reward!]
[Rewards being generated...]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: 30 vials of enhanced "Stardust of Annihilation" venom! (Each vial contains 100 grams of venom. Characteristics: extreme corrosiveness, divine body collapse, soul annihilation. It poses a great threat to life levels below the Cosmic Venerable. The specific effects depend on the strength of the divine body and the amount of venom exposure.)]
[Note: A typical King-level expert can be completely annihilated with just 0.05 grams, an invincible King-level expert with just 0.5 grams, and an ordinary Venerable with just 10 grams.]
hum!
A deeper, more restrained, yet terrifying aura that made Lu Ming's soul tremble instinctively spread out.
Within the system's vortex, thirty brand-new transistors slowly emerged.
The liquid inside was no longer an eerie purple, but had turned into a "dark" color that seemed to be the dust of countless stars after they had been annihilated. It looked inconspicuous, but it emitted a destructive wave that made the surrounding space subtly distort.
"Extinct Stardust..."
Lu Ming looked at the newly formed venom, his eyes flashing with astonishing brilliance.
"It can even threaten a Cosmic Venom! This effect is more than ten or a hundred times stronger than the original Fermó Venom!"
He carefully put away the thirty enhanced Venom vials, feeling even more confident.
This will be an extremely terrifying trump card for him, both on battlefields outside the region and when he ventures into the universe in the future!
"The power of this Annihilation Stardust is too terrifying. Even a King-level Invincible only needs 0.5 grams to annihilate it. This is a full three kilograms. Tsk tsk tsk, even my battle sword is probably not enough."
Such venom requires certain conditions to be met when it is carried by a weapon.
The venom's effects are so terrifying that he'll need to get a new battle sword.
Let's order one in the virtual universe this time.
"Next is Xiao Lei's evolution."
Lu Ming turned his gaze to the largest spatial rings.
As one's consciousness probed into it, one immediately sensed the vastness of the interior, with its myriad rare resources piled up like stars in the sky!
These are the enormous resources he purchased, enough to cultivate two hundred ordinary Thunderlight Vines from the initial stage of King-level to the peak stage of King-level!
"There are really enough resources to supply Xiao Lei for continued evolution."
Lu Ming sighed and directly transferred the world ring, which was full of resources, into his own inner world.
Rumbling--
Within its inner world, the enormous lightning vine sensed the energy surging in from the outside, an energy that was extremely alluring to it. Countless purple-gold vines immediately began to dance wildly and excitedly, emitting deafening thunderous sounds, and the entire inner world seemed to tremble slightly.
"Xiao Lei, don't rush, these are still 'coarse grains'. Let me process them into 'premium' for you before you enjoy them."
Lu Ming comforted the agitated Xiao Lei, a helpless smile on his face.
This batch of resources is extremely diverse, with hundreds of major categories and thousands of subcategories.
While his ability to return sacrifices is incredibly powerful, it is also limited – the number of targets for each sacrifice is limited to "one", or "one type" with highly uniform characteristics.
Like the previous Femo Venom, although there were a total of thirty vials, they were classified as "Class I" because they were essentially the same, and could be sacrificed all at once.
However, the cultivation resources in front of us belong to different categories and have different properties, so they cannot be classified into "one category" at all.
This means that he needs to divide these resources into hundreds of times and sacrifice them one by one to return them!
"Hundreds of sacrifices... this will keep us busy for quite a while."
Chapter 43 Xiao Lei Gets Another Improvement
Lu Ming rubbed his temples. Although the process was a bit tedious, when he thought about how powerful Xiao Lei would become after its evolution, this little bit of hardship was nothing.
"Take it slow. This little trouble is worth it for Xiao Lei to become stronger!"
He took a deep breath, his consciousness sinking into his inner world, and began to patiently and carefully categorize the mountain of resources according to their type and nature.
Thus began a massive and complex "resource refining" project.
Lu Ming went all out to create an unprecedented super lightning vine.
Centuries later, the world inside the body.
The once spacious inner world is now filled with a vast expanse of purple-gold!
Thousands of giant vines, each over ten million kilometers long, are like thunderous dragons stretching across the starry sky, winding and coiling in the void!
Each vine was as thick as a mountain range, its surface covered with incredibly complex and mysterious purple-gold patterns. These patterns seemed to be naturally formed and contained unparalleled thunderous power.
As the vines swayed gently, they stirred the thunderous laws in the surrounding void to resonate joyfully. Endless lightning rippled like an ocean, radiating a vast divine power that would suffocate even immortal kings!
At the very center of those countless vines, an even larger main vine, its entire body seemingly cast from purple-gold divine metal, was slowly absorbing the last bit of "Myriad Transformation Origin Liquid" that shimmered with nine-colored light.
hum-
When the last bit of energy was absorbed, the powerful aura emanating from the entire Thunder Vine seemed to reach a certain critical point. After a slight tremor, it finally stabilized, but ultimately failed to break through that invisible barrier.
Lu Ming stood at the tip of the thickest vine, feeling Xiao Lei's breath finally stabilize, sighed softly, and then showed a relieved smile.
"Hehe, as expected, breaking through to the Venerable realm is not so simple."
He whispered to himself.
“Even special life forms like the Lightning Vine are essentially the same as the Zerg warriors, recognized as ‘objects’ by the rules of the universe. They can improve their life level simply by accumulating resources, and they will also comprehend the laws of the universe on their own… But the Venerable One is still a huge threshold.”
He could sense that Xiao Lei's life level had reached an unbelievable height, far exceeding the limit of being an invincible king, and infinitely close to that level. However, that last step was like an insurmountable chasm that he could not cross.
At this moment, a thought carrying a hint of disappointment and guilt entered Lu Ming's mind: "Master... I've disappointed you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming gently bent down and softly stroked the cold yet resilient vines beneath his feet, which possessed devastating power.
"Xiao Lei, you've done a great job."
His voice was gentle.
“Venerable one, how easy is it to break through? Looking across the universe, how many exceptionally talented individuals and special life forms are stuck at this hurdle, spending countless years without making any progress.”
"Don't worry, your master will prepare even better and more precious resources for you in the future! At that time, you will naturally be able to achieve your breakthrough in one fell swoop!"
Feeling its master's encouragement and unwavering trust, Xiao Lei's massive body trembled slightly, and all the vines emanated a joyful ripple.
"Yes! Little Lei believes in his master!"
Lu Ming straightened up, his gaze sweeping over the thousands of terrifying vines that filled the void, and a confident smile returned to his face: "Although you haven't truly broken through, your current strength has already surpassed the realm of the invincible king!"
"It should be no problem for it to rival an ordinary Cosmic Venerable."
Xiao Lei's thoughts also came through with a hint of excitement: "That's right, Master! The power of each of my vines now exceeds that of an ordinary peak King! If thousands of vines were to erupt at the same time, their power could be perfectly superimposed... Although I don't know exactly how strong the Universe Venerable is, I feel that it should be enough to rival him!"
