After meeting Primal Chaos City Lord, Ender walked towards the Treasure Vault of the Race located in the outer mansion.
"Primal Chaos City Lord knows I have a Soul type Arcana treasure; my teacher most likely told him."
Ender walked slowly, pondering in his heart, "And Primal Chaos City Lord probably knew about this long ago."
"When I finished the Pinnacle Genius Battle and arrived at the Primal Universe, I resonated with the Molten Crystal. Primal Chaos City Lord controls the Primal Universe, so how could he not have discovered the anomaly of the Molten Crystal?"
"Greetings, Venerable Void River."
"Greetings, Venerable."
Ender strode quickly through the inner mansion. The Immortal guards, upon seeing him, all bowed respectfully, showing immense reverence.
These Immortal serving as Primal Chaos City Lord's guards were very proud; it was their honor to guard the great Primal Chaos City Lord. They generally ignored King-level Immortal.
However, when facing individuals of noble status or powerful Universe Venerables, they displayed extreme respect, leaving no room for fault.
Ender was walking and was about to turn a corner when he saw an handsome, blue-haired young man walking towards him.
"Long time no see."
Looking at the approaching person, Ender smiled and said, "Kedi."
...
Kedi, who had returned from his trial mission in a Universe Secret Realm, entered the inner mansion and headed towards the Primal Chaos City Lord Courtyard where his teacher, Primal Chaos City Lord, resided.
Just as he turned a corner, he saw an familiar yet somewhat strange figure walking towards him.
That solidified Immortal Energy pressure was even stronger than that of an ordinary Universe Venerable.
"Long time no see, Kedi."
Facing Ender's greeting, Kedi was filled with mixed emotions. Finally, he bowed slightly and said, "Venerable Void River."
"Venerable Void River..."
Ender heard this address, his smile remained, but he felt a touch of emotion in his heart. "I thought Kedi would call me Ender, hah..."
"Mm."
Ender nodded, his smile unchanged. "When you have time, let's meet up in the Virtual Universe."
"Yes."
Kedi nodded slightly.
"You go see the City Lord."
Ender slightly turned his body, gesturing for Kedi to go first.
"Thank you, Venerable."
Kedi thanked him, then quickly walked past.
Ender turned to look at Kedi's retreating figure and continued walking out of the inner mansion.
"This is the disparity brought by status..."
He walked out of the inner mansion, feeling quite emotional. "If my apparent status were King-level Immortal, perhaps Kedi would still converse with me, as the difference in our statuses wouldn't be significant."
"But when I became a Universe Venerable, or even a Universe Overlord-level powerhouse, Kedi, who is still a World Master Genius, has a status and position gap with me that can be described as worlds apart!"
Walking towards the side hall where the Treasure Vault of the Race was located, Ender silently thought, "Kedi is a super Genius of our Human Race, and also one of Primal Chaos City Lord's Personal Disciples."
"All these identities give him his own pride, and this pride will drive him forward, wanting to strive to stand in a position of equal dialogue with me."
Although Ender had Cultivated for tens of thousands of years in the core cultivation layer of the Virtual Universe Company, he had very few close friends.
And Kedi, as one of his few friends, he understood him quite well; he was a very proud person.
Unlike Manle, who could embrace his leg with peace of mind.
Finally, Ender silently said, "Kedi, now that I am here attracting the attention of the three races, I wonder if you can escape your fate of falling and fulfill the talent of a Genius that appears once every hundreds of millions of epochs..."
...
Treasure Vault of the Race, inside the ancient side hall.
"Treasure category, ordinary Arcana Treasure."
Before the huge stone disk, Ender brought up the exchange list.
Ordinary weapon-type Arcana Treasures had exchange prices ranging from 1 to 4 Arcana Treasure Points.
Ordinary battle armor-type Arcana Treasures had exchange prices ranging from 1 to 7 Arcana Treasure Points.
"Hm?"
Ender looked at the light screen and found that all ordinary Arcana Treasures on the list currently had a horizontal line through their marked exchange prices.
And behind the horizontal line was the actual exchange price. For example, the actual exchange price for all ordinary Arcana Treasure weapons was... 0!
"Is this the Race's gift...?"
Ender pondered, "This should have a quota."
"Soul type."
As his voice fell, the exchange list on the light screen changed, displaying ordinary Soul-type Arcana Treasures.
Among ordinary Arcana Treasures, Soul-type Arcana Treasures were undoubtedly the most expensive, which was perfect for checking his free quota.
Ordinary Soul-type Arcana Treasures had exchange prices ranging from 36 to 120 Arcana Treasure Points.
However, the actual exchange price for all ordinary Soul-type Arcana Treasures below 80 Arcana Treasure Points was displayed as 0!
And for ordinary Soul-type Arcana Treasures exceeding 80 Arcana Treasure Points, the actual exchange price was reduced by 80 Arcana Treasure Points.
"I have a free exchange quota of 80 Arcana Treasure Points, which means the Race is indirectly giving me 80 Arcana Treasure Points."
Ender silently said, "However, this seems to be limited to ordinary Arcana Treasures."
He switched the exchange list to high-grade Heavy Treasures. There was no horizontal line on the exchange prices of high-grade Heavy Treasures, indicating that his guess was correct.
"Since I have the Molten Crystal, a Soul-type Arcana treasure, I don't need to exchange for an ordinary Soul-type Arcana Treasure. So my ultimate goal should be a flying palace-type or Domain-type ordinary Arcana Treasure."
Ender said, "Ordinary Arcana Treasure, Domain type."
Buzz!
The light screen's exchange list changed, showing numerous ordinary Domain-type Heavy Treasures, with exchange prices ranging from 16 to 80 Arcana Treasure Points.
"The best ordinary Domain-type Arcana Treasure is worth 80 Arcana Treasure Points, which perfectly matches the free quota."
Ender noted down the top-grade ordinary Domain-type Arcana Treasure worth 80 Arcana Treasure Points, then switched the exchange list to ordinary flying palace-type Arcana Treasures.
Ordinary flying palace-type Arcana Treasures had exchange prices ranging from 18 to 83 Arcana Treasure Points.
"Crimson Gold Void Palace, exchange price... 83 Arcana Treasure Points!"
When Ender saw the description of the Crimson Gold Void Palace, with an original price of 83 Arcana Treasure Points and an actual exchange price of 3 Arcana Treasure Points, his eyes lit up.
The Crimson Gold Void Palace, crafted from extremely precious Materials of the Gold Law and Space Law, could temporarily defend against a Third-rank Universe Master's attack...
Buzz!
Seeing the dazzling red-gold palace on the light screen, Ender didn't hesitate. He directly took out an ordinary Heavy Treasure weapon from his world ring and placed it on the huge stone disk.
"Weapon-type ordinary Arcana Treasure. Donating it to the Race will yield 1.4 Arcana Treasure Points."
A gentle voice sounded, "Ender, are you willing to donate this treasure to the Race?"
"Willing."
Ender replied. After the weapon Heavy Treasure was taken by the stone disk, he took out another ordinary weapon Heavy Treasure.
"Weapon-type ordinary Arcana Treasure. Donating it to the Race will yield 0.8 Arcana Treasure Points..."
"Willing."
Ender said, frowning slightly, "0.8 Arcana Treasure Points, this Arcana Treasure is of poorer quality. I'll have to donate an armor-type Arcana Treasure as well."
With that, he took out a crimson armor Arcana Treasure and placed it on the stone disk. Then, blue threads performed a detailed scan.
"Armor-type ordinary Arcana Treasure. Donating it to the Race will yield 5.8 Arcana Treasure Points..."
Upon hearing this, Ender's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly said, "Unwilling."
Whoosh!
He retrieved the armor Arcana Treasure from the stone disk. Ender reached out and placed his hand on the crimson armor, imprinting it. A message entered his consciousness.
Crimson Armor, an ordinary Arcana Treasure, capable of weakening physical attacks not exceeding its tolerance limit to one ten-thousandth...
Starting from some Arcana Treasure armors, and even many Peak Arcana Treasure armors, they all weakened physical attacks to one ten-thousandth; only the upper limit of the attack power they could withstand differed.
However, some top-grade Pinnacle Arcana Treasure armors could weaken physical attacks to one hundred-thousandth.
For example, the Robbery Armor currently worn by Flame Emperor is a top-grade Pinnacle Arcana Treasure armor. Not only does it have a super strong effect of weakening physical attacks, but it can also enhance the wearer's base strength.
This is also one of the main reasons why Flame Emperor, a newly promoted Universe Master, can rank among the Third-rank Pinnacle.
...
"I originally thought of exchanging for a top-grade ordinary Arcana Treasure armor after getting the flying palace Arcana Treasure, but now I've saved myself the trouble."
Ender unrefined the Arcana Treasure battle armor he had casually refined and instead refined the Crimson Armor to his body.
"The Universe Overlord who refined this Arcana Treasure battle armor actually fell under the power of my Clone's self-detonation. His Immortal Energy body must have been small."
Saying this, Ender placed the Arcana Treasure he had just unrefined and un-imprinted onto the stone disk, donating it to the Race for 1.3 Arcana Treasure Points.
After accumulating his Arcana Treasure Point balance to 3.5, he exchanged for the Crimson Gold Void Palace, which had an original price of 83 and an actual exchange price of 3 Arcana Treasure Points.
Boom...
The stone disk slowly split open, revealing a passage leading to a bottomless abyss. A small, red-gold palace slowly flew out from the passage and finally landed in Ender's hand.
"Crimson Gold Void Palace, a top-grade ordinary flying palace Arcana Treasure."
Holding the Crimson Gold Void Palace in one hand, Ender nodded with satisfaction after imprinting his mental mark on it.
With this top-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure, even if the 6.4 million-kilometer Gu Yu Ancient Tree Branch self-detonated, it probably wouldn't cause his human main body to fall.
Of course, this was just a thought; he wouldn't risk his human main body falling to self-detonate the incredibly massive Gu Yu Ancient Tree Branch.
"The treasures have been exchanged. First, I'll return to the palace within the Thousand Treasure River Domain to replenish my Immortal Energy, then return to the Seventh Battlefield."
Ender left the Treasure Vault of the Race and returned to the Primal Secret Realm through the Primal Universe passage.
Because the palace was built within the Thousand Treasure River Domain of the Primal Secret Realm, he placed the world ring containing the Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone in this extremely safe palace.
After replenishing the Immortal Energy of the Gu Yu Ancient Tree Branch he carried with him, his human main body, due to its extremely fast Immortal Energy recovery speed,
He did not replenish his Immortal Energy to a perfect state, but rather maintained it at around 98%, to avoid wasting the super-fast Immortal Energy recovery speed.
...
Extraterritorial Battlefield, Seventh Battlefield.
Barracks Base No. 035, Venerable's Residence.
"Void River is back."
Venerable You Hou, seeing Ender return, greeted him, "What treasures did you exchange for this time?"
"Crimson Gold Void Palace," Ender replied casually.
"What? Crimson Gold Void Palace!"
Venerable You Hou looked surprised. "Where did you get so many Arcana Treasure Points? That's the most expensive top-grade ordinary flying palace Arcana Treasure!"
Venerable You Hou had coveted the Crimson Gold Void Palace for a long time, but alas, he was too poor to exchange for it; otherwise, he would have gotten it long ago.
"The Race granted a partial free exchange quota, plus I still had some Arcana Treasure Points myself, so it was just enough, and I exchanged for it," Ender said as a matter of course.
"Having strength and talent really makes a difference..."
Venerable You Hou looked at Ender enviously, then said, "You previously self-detonated your Clone and killed three Universe Overlords, gaining quite a few treasures. No wonder you had the capital to exchange for the Crimson Gold Void Palace."
In this vast Original Universe, a Universe Overlord is already a powerful overlord, with enough strength to accumulate wealth. Generally, their wealth will exceed 3 Arcana Treasure Points.
Some wealthy Universe Overlords possess high-grade Arcana Treasure weapons or armors, or even precious ordinary flying palace Arcana Treasures.
In Venerable You Hou's opinion, Ender's killing of three Universe Overlords by self-detonating his Clone must have yielded at least 10 Arcana Treasure Points in wealth.
If he was lucky, getting 20 Arcana Treasure Points wouldn't be surprising.
Moreover, Venerable You Hou knew that Ender was highly valued by his Junior Martial Uncle, Ice Summit Master. He estimated that the reason Ender could exchange for the Crimson Gold Void Palace was partly due to his Junior Martial Uncle's support with Arcana Treasure Points.
Ender smiled without answering. He couldn't very well say that the Race had indirectly given him 80 Arcana Treasure Points; that was no small sum!
The cheapest top-tier Arcana Treasure weapons were only around 80 Arcana Treasure Points.
The Race giving him a free quota of 80 Arcana Treasure Points was equivalent to giving him a top-tier Arcana Treasure weapon!
Ender chatted with Venerable You Hou for a while longer, then found a place to settle down.
...
On a mountain Pinnacle.
Ender sat cross-legged, with a light screen in front of him displaying extremely brutal combat footage.
He was using his authority within the military System to check the current war status of Immortal and lower-ranked soldiers in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
A massive Demon race Immortal revealed its true form, slaughtering within the Human faction army, a single strike eliminating ordinary World Masters and large numbers of Domain Masters and Universe Level soldiers.
The Demon race Immortal had only just revealed its true form when it was besieged by multiple Immortal from the Human faction. The aftermath of the battle affected all Immortal and lower-ranked soldiers of that army...
"The battle between Immortals, once it affects the army, is a complete disaster for the army..."
Ender watched as all the World Master, Domain Master, and Universe Level soldiers of that army died in battle, then shook his head and closed the light screen.
This scene was merely the tip of the iceberg of the entire Extraterritorial Battlefield's situation. He had even seen battle footage where the entire Human faction side was wiped out.
"The Great Battle in the Extraterritorial Battlefield is a test. Universe Level, Domain Master, and World Master who survive this Great Battle will have a good chance of becoming Immortal in the future."
Ender murmured softly, "Even for humans born from a Divine Kingdom, the probability of becoming Immortal increases slightly; at least it's no longer out of reach."
"And the Immortal screened from the brutal battlefield have hope of going further, becoming King-level Immortal, or even striving to become Universe Venerables."
He gazed at the azure sky created by technological means. "It's not just them; I also need to fight and battle in this war to gain insights and inspiration..."
The Extraterritorial Battlefield, from its early days of racial territorial disputes, had long transformed into a Cultivation ground for cultivating powerhouses, producing one powerhouse after another from endless slaughter.
...
Perhaps because Ender, this future Top-tier Universe Overlord, was too troublesome, the duration of this Great Battle in the Extraterritorial Battlefield was not long compared to previous ones, lasting only a little over a month.
And during this period, Ender had some gains from multiple battles with the three races' Universe Overlords, but it did not meet his expectations...
