Even after hundreds of thousands of practice sessions in the Virtual Universe, Ender was still extremely careful when applying the solidified Fei Mo Poison to the tip of the ninth-Rank long spear, fearing any mistake that could lead to the poison leaking.
A moment later.
The 20 grams of Fei Mo Poison had been applied and solidified. The tip of the ninth-Rank long spear hadn't changed much in color, only becoming slightly brighter, as if it had been polished.
"It's done."
Ender held up the long spear with one hand, looking at the bright purple tip with satisfaction, and sighed, "It's a pity. If I hadn't promised King Towering Bear to go on an adventure in a dangerous place, I would have wanted to test the effects of this Fei Mo Poison on a High Stage King-Level Immortal."
The dangerous adventure more than nine hundred years from now was very important. For King Towering Bear and King Pheasant Wing, these two Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal, to attach such importance to it, there must be a Treasure Trove or treasure within that dangerous place!
Moreover, they believed that as long as they obtained the Treasure Trove or treasure, even if they only got thirty-five percent or thirty percent, it would be enough for them to earn a fortune.
To ensure a successful harvest from that adventure, he decided to improve his strength as much as possible beforehand, while also trying not to expose his true power.
"Both the Demon race Camp and my Human faction's King Immortal subconsciously believe that my defensive capabilities are merely formidable."
Ender murmured, "Even if I've comprehended the 'Space Teleportation' Law, they still see it as just adding more escape methods, making me more troublesome."
"What they don't know is that now I also have the ability to harm their lives. The moment I reveal my trump card..."
As he spoke, he looked at the ninth-Rank long spear with solidified Fei Mo Poison in his hand, "For now, you still need to hide. When you finally show your brilliance, perhaps a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal will fall because of you."
"I'll call you 'Silence'."
After naming the long spear with solidified Fei Mo Poison 'Silence', Ender placed it alone in a world ring, so he could retrieve it at any time during battle.
"The original 'Void Spear' can no longer keep up with my strength. Now it's time for an upgrade."
Ender looked up, only to see a crimson flame rising in the air, its scorching heat still seemingly capable of burning space.
And in the center of the crimson flame, there was a long spear, G-level metal of the Space Law type, and a minute amount of extremely rare Void crystal.
"First, I'll melt down Void Spear and extract the precious G-level metal from it. I'll refine it again closer to the agreed time."
Because he was going to undergo nearly a thousand years of secluded Cultivation, Ender felt that his secret technique level should improve slightly, and then the power of the refined 'Void Spear' would be a bit stronger.
"Self-made weapons are very expensive. If I were to buy a ninth-Rank weapon, it would only be a few billion points, which translates to around tens of billions of Mixed units."
To refine two ninth-Rank long spears, he spent tens of billions of Mixed units on Materials alone, with the largest portion being 6 billion Mixed units per kilogram of Void crystal.
Generally speaking, a sixth-Rank weapon costs anywhere from a few Mixed units to several thousand Mixed units.
A seventh-Rank weapon costs anywhere from tens of thousands of Mixed units to tens of millions of Mixed units.
An eighth-Rank weapon costs anywhere from tens of millions of Mixed units to several billion Mixed units.
A ninth-Rank weapon starts at tens of billions of Mixed units and can go up to several hundred billion Mixed units.
As for pseudo-Heavy Treasure with some of the power of a Heavy Treasure, ordinary ones cost trillions of Mixed units, while those very close to a Heavy Treasure cost five or six trillion Mixed units.
"While self-made weapons are expensive, weapons custom-made for oneself are always more suitable than purchased ones."
Ender murmured, "Moreover, now that I can refine ninth-Rank weapons, perhaps I'll be able to refine Heavy Treasure when I become an Immortal."
With the "Infernal Forge Artifact Refining Technique" Legacy knowledge, he will be able to master the methods for refining Heavy Treasure sets, Domains, Souls, and palace-type flying Heavy Treasure in the future, giving him the capital to become an Artifact Refiner Master.
It should be noted that an ordinary Universe Venerable, in terms of status, cannot compare to an Artifact Refiner who can refine Heavy Treasure, even if that Artifact Refiner is only an Immortal!
After another glance at the crimson fireball suspended in the air, Ender flashed out of the world ring and returned to the quiet room of his Barracks Base villa.
Sitting cross-legged on the soft carpet, he closed his eyes, his consciousness entering the Virtual Universe to study secret techniques in a Special Space, while his body in the real world operated the 'Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body'.
...
More than eight hundred years later.
Virtual Universe, Special Space.
Ender's figure was like a bolt loosed from the sky, and with a series of flashes, he had already reached the alien, who resembled a humanoid metal ant. His long spear, carrying the power to rend space, pierced through the opponent's body.
"The 1500th opponent, who blocked me for over 200 years, has finally been defeated."
As the alien transformed into countless light particles, Ender smiled faintly, "Not only that, I've also created the fourth form of 'Eternal Sky', 'Thunderbolt', which is truly a double blessing."
"With high Law comprehension, the speed of creating secret techniques has also increased significantly. Hundreds of years ago, only 'Wind Arises' could defeat over 1300 opponents, but now even 'Wind Arises' can defeat 1400 opponents."
"Creating secret techniques, like comprehending Laws, becomes more difficult the further you go. For example, this 1500th opponent blocked me for over two hundred years."
"If I had ample time to continue creating secret techniques, I estimate I could defeat close to 1,600 opponents, but the time spent would have to be calculated in tens of thousands of years."
Ender sighed, "Many King Immortal stay at the Low or High Stage for a long time, not only because their Law comprehension can't keep up, but also because their secret technique creation can't keep up. Creating secret techniques is not easy."
"My secret technique level is sufficient now. I need to re-refine 'Void Spear' with my current secret technique level."
"Hmm... I still need to re-plan the secret patterns," he mused. "There's still a century until the agreed time for the dangerous place, so time should be sufficient."
Refining weapons isn't as simple as just having the secret technique level. Before refining, one needs to plan the carving of secret patterns, then convert the secret technique into Law secret patterns, and finally carve Law secret patterns onto the weapon that can amplify the power of the secret technique.
This is only the secret pattern carving part. Besides that, there are three major steps: melting, shaping, and resonance, and each step is divided into multiple stages, so Artifact Refining is not simple.
In the Original Universe, those capable of refining top-tier Heavy Treasure are few and far between. The status of every Artifact Refining Master who can refine top-tier Heavy Treasure is extremely high!
For instance, the Craftsman God Master, who doesn't belong to any faction, is not only powerful as a Universe Master and possesses numerous Heavy Treasure, but also has befriended many powerful individuals by refining Heavy Treasure, so no one is willing to offend him.
Leaving the Special Space, Ender began to concentrate on Cultivating "Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body", as he sensed that this secret technique was about to Breakthrough, and at that time, his body amplitude would double again.
As for the re-refinement of 'Void Spear', the second branch tree would be responsible for completing it, having already finished upgrading the 'Shadow Shuttle'.
Although it didn't elevate the 'Shadow Shuttle' to the ninth Rank, it did reach the Pinnacle eighth Rank, which brought his flying speed to the average level of a High Stage King-Level Pinnacle.
...
Decades later, the millennium mark approached.
Inside the world ring.
Above a vast continent, there was a towering giant tree, 1,600 kilometers tall, its canopy like a massive umbrella covering a sky with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, and countless roots of varying thickness extended for tens of thousands of kilometers.
Not far from that towering giant tree, in the sky over a thousand kilometers high, a crimson flame with a diameter of several tens of meters hovered, and within the flame, a bright red long spear slowly rotated.
Boom!
The crimson flame hovering in the air 'boomed' and extinguished. The bright red on the long spear gradually faded, leaving only the silver-white spear body with a single black stripe.
As Ender's World Master Power absorbed it, the re-refined 'Void Spear' flew into his hand.
He carefully examined the 'Void Spear' before him. The silver-white spear body had numerous complex Space Law secret patterns, and these countless secret patterns formed an amplification array, capable of enhancing the 'Eternal Sky Four Forms' secret technique he employed.
"'Silence' was refined too early. Although it's also a ninth-Rank weapon, its amplification effect is a bit weaker than 'Void Spear', but it doesn't matter."
Ender twirled the spear in the air, "'Silence' relies on the Fei Mo Poison solidified on its tip to kill enemies, not on my own attack power."
"My attack power, without calculating the efficiency of World Master Power annihilating Immortal Energy, is currently barely at the Pinnacle Stage King-Level."
"But once the Immortal Energy annihilation efficiency is calculated..."
At this point, Ender shook his head slightly, "When calculating the Immortal Energy annihilation efficiency, my attack power is only close to High Stage King-Level."
If he were to increase his base strength to 100,000 times the Peak World Master power, then his attack power would likely reach the Pinnacle Stage King-Level, and when calculating Immortal Energy annihilation efficiency, it would be High Stage King-Level.
Ender's life gene level was 2,048 times, his body amplitude 32 times, plus the 3 times power amplification of Blood River Power, his basic strength was slightly over 70,000 times the Peak World Master power, nearly 30,000 times short of the Pinnacle Stage King-Level standard basic strength.
Despite being 30,000 times short in basic strength, he could still increase his attack power to barely reach Pinnacle Stage King-Level, which shows the formidable nature of his secret technique Rank and the amplification of his compatible weapon.
"Attack power barely reaching Pinnacle Stage King-Level, flying speed at the average level of High Stage King-Level, defensive capabilities far exceeding Pinnacle Stage King-Level, comprehension of the 'Space Teleportation' Law, plus the assistance of the 'Five Hundred Vine Devouring Star' Immortal plant life, equivalent to High Stage King-Level."
Ender muttered to himself, "Now, I can truly be considered a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal."
"However, in the eyes of other Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal, my attack power is very weak, almost no threat, at most just troublesome."
Buzz!
As World Master Power fluctuations appeared, a purple long spear materialized in Ender's hand, "But with 'Silence', I have the possibility of killing a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal."
Of course, he also knew that this was only a possibility!
After all, even Limit stage King-Level Immortals need to burn Immortal Energy and pay a considerable price to kill a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal.
He would find it very difficult to break through a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal's defensive stance and injure their Divine Body with his own attack power alone.
And only by injuring the Divine Body can the Fei Mo Poison take effect, so it would be very difficult for him to kill a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal.
"Hmm, King Towering Bear should be contacting me soon. I'll take a break for a while."
Ender placed 'Silence' into his world ring, then left the Barracks Base villa.
...
Two days later.
Ender, who had been waiting quietly, finally received an email from King Towering Bear.
"Oh, this coordinate... it's Scarlet Rainbow Continent."
Seeing the coordinates in the email, Ender felt a little surprised, "Could that so-called dangerous place be the ruins of the Scarlet Rainbow Continent's natives?"
Scarlet Rainbow Continent, located in the central region of the Hongwu Secret Realm, is considered the least dangerous for Marquis-level Immortal, only slightly more dangerous than the central region of the Endless Island Secret Realm.
A long time ago, before the First Battlefield was opened, the Hongwu Secret Realm had native races.
Not just the Hongwu Secret Realm, any continent or planet within a Secret Realm capable of nurturing life generally had native races, though many of them simply couldn't develop.
Scarlet Rainbow Continent had a native race that had developed, backed by the resource-rich Hongwu Secret Realm. This race had given birth to multiple Universe Venerable, making it a true ordinary race.
However, with the opening of the First Battlefield, the Universe territory centered around over a hundred thousand light-years, and the four Secret Realms within that territory, all became battlefields.
And the native race on Scarlet Rainbow Continent had already been annihilated by the powerhouses of the four Pinnacle races when the battlefield was established. Now, Scarlet Rainbow Continent has also become a battlefield for the four major camps to fight.
The above is the First Battlefield data within the Virtual Universe Company.
When Ender first came to the Hongwu Secret Realm, he had already read the First Battlefield data, so upon receiving the Scarlet Rainbow Continent coordinates, a guess immediately formed in his mind.
"From my current location at Barracks Base 123, it will take a long time to reach Scarlet Rainbow Continent."
Barracks Base 123 is in the middle ring area, separated from the central area by the inner perimeter, a distance of tens of thousands of light-years.
"Fortunately, King Towering Bear said it's fine as long as I arrive within a year, otherwise I'd have to rely on Space Teleportation for travel."
Ender stood up, put all his belongings away, and then left the villa, flying towards the expedition passage.
Following the procedure, he left Barracks Base 123, boarded the Shadow Dragon Universe spaceship, and entered the Dark Universe, arriving at Scarlet Rainbow Continent after more than a month.
...
Scarlet Rainbow Continent.
What met his eyes was a vast, scarlet continent, with faint scarlet mist surrounding its periphery, beautiful and illusory.
Due to constant battles by powerful individuals in the vicinity, the clouds above Scarlet Rainbow Continent were very faint, no longer possessing the hazy beauty described in the records.
Ender, aboard the Shadow Dragon Universe spaceship, emerged from the Dark Universe. He merely glanced at the beautiful scenery of Scarlet Rainbow Continent through the virtual external simulation before piloting the spaceship towards the coordinates sent by King Towering Bear.
Whoosh!
On the Scarlet Rainbow Continent, which has a diameter of over a light-year, atop an inconspicuous mountain peak over ten thousand meters high, King Towering Bear and King Pheasant Wing waited quietly, occasionally communicating via voice transmission.
Soon.
The two saw a dark red stream of light flying from afar. If one didn't look carefully, it would easily blend into the red landscape.
"That spaceship..." King Towering Bear looked at the approaching spaceship and asked, "Is it King Verdant End's?"
King Pheasant Wing looked at the approaching spaceship and replied, "It should be. According to the coordinates you sent, only King Verdant End would come. Other Marquis-level King Immortal wouldn't dare to approach."
"Good, once King Verdant End arrives, we'll depart. The Demon race side is already urging us," King Towering Bear said, looking back at the vast Scarlet Rainbow Continent in the distance.
