Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

The first enhanced version can not only completely repair the stun mirror, but also greatly enhance its functionality.

The second type of restoration involves completely repairing the stun mirror.

As for the third option, it is a solution launched by the owner of the Refining Treasure Pavilion based on the actual needs of customers. It is simply to repair the item, which will reduce the quality, but it can still maintain a complete treasure.

After all, the Zhenkong Mirror's core is damaged, and running it at full power all the time will only make the damage worse, and it might suddenly explode halfway through the battle.

At this point, the Zhenkong Mirror is like a cracked glass. It can still be used, but it leaks water from time to time, and the crack may continue to widen until the entire glass breaks apart.

"The third one!"

Lu Yunhe said decisively that after looking at the prices of the first two options, he realized they were simply unaffordable for him.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he currently holds hundreds of billions of Chaos Units. The value of all treasures is not measured in Chaos Units, but rather in the Treasure Points of the Human Race's Treasury.

One of the most valuable treasures, if someone were willing to sell it, could fetch ten trillion Chaos Units, an extremely exaggerated ratio.

After all, the use of precious treasures basically involves cosmic venerables, and there are only so many people. It is basically a matter of bartering, and a market cannot be formed at all.

"Alright, then I'll charge you a labor fee of 200 billion Chaos Units. Pay half as a deposit first."

The Pavilion Master of the Refining Treasure Pavilion said calmly that he had also guessed that someone at the limit of being a King wouldn't be able to afford too much money, which was why there was a third way to repair it.

This method doesn't require much additional resources; it only requires a little time.

Moreover, there's a lot of "profit" to be made from repairing items that only maintain their high quality; the so-called 200 billion yuan in handling fees is just a drop in the bucket.

After all, if it were free, people would think he had tampered with the treasure.

"How long will the repair take?" Lu Yunhe asked.

If it takes too long, he'll have to consider continuing to use this broken treasure.

Anyway, even if it might break down, it will probably be many epochs later.

"Don't worry, this is a very important treasure. I will process it as soon as you send it to the Treasure Refining Pavilion."

The head of the Refining Treasure Pavilion said, "Don't be fooled by the good reputation of the Treasure Pavilion in the Hong Alliance. You might not encounter anything involving truly precious treasures even once in a million years."

Each of these treasures is extremely valuable, and even just touching them can provide valuable insights into his treasure-refining techniques.

Unless a specific delivery time has been promised to other customers, Zhongbao's priority is always the highest.

Lu Yunhe underestimated the value of a treasure. Many universe venerables may only have one or two treasures in their possession.

"About 10 to 20 years, but to be sure, I'll need to check it out in person." The Treasure Refining Pavilion Master pondered for a moment and gave a vague timeframe.

"no problem!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief, and then the two signed a contract under the witness of the virtual universe network.

To avoid any accidents involving the provider, the handover of the treasure is personally arranged by the Hongmeng, and the person handing over the treasure will not know what the item is.

"Everything is settled. The money I just had was almost gone before I even had a chance to keep it."

Lu Yunhe transferred another 100 billion Hunyuan units, leaving him with very few of the more than 700 billion Hunyuan units remaining.

After completing all his tasks, Lu Yunhe returned to the extraterritorial battlefield to continue his training.

If we remove the bonus from the Divine Tree clone, Lu Yunhe is just a Realm Lord, and he can still easily train in the outer battlefield.

With the power of a Realm Lord eight hundred times greater, the law level of the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and the peak secret technique, Lu Yunhe could still unleash power close to that of a King-level being, which was exactly the standard configuration for those genius Realm Lords in the core layer of the human race.

If you combine it with the defense reduction range of the Arcana, it can basically be considered as having the power of a King.

……

Thirty years later, at Barracks Base No. 022!

"Red-Armored King, it's been a long time!"

Lu Yunhe returned to the military base and encountered the newly resurrected Crimson Armor King once again.

Not long after the Dungeon War, the human race also resurrected a group of Kings, including the Crimson Armor King, who was at the peak of the King level.

"Battle King!"

Looking at Lu Yunhe, who was still full of energy, the Crimson Armor King couldn't help but smile wryly: "This time it really has been a long time."

A few decades is nothing to a king, but dying once is another matter.

"I'm jealous!"

The Crimson Armor King sighed, saying that after his resurrection, he discovered that the War Mad King from back then had not died.

Moreover, it seems that the gains were probably quite significant, since the physical exertion from the battle at that time would not have been sufficient for the divine body to recover in several decades.

As for himself, he lost the wealth he had accumulated over the years, and was also burdened with huge debts due to his resurrection. These factors meant that he had to rush to the outer battlefield to make money as soon as he was resurrected and had a short rest.

Hearing the Crimson Armor King sigh, Lu Yunhe naturally understood what the other was thinking, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

After all, the other person has already died once, while you are completely unharmed. No matter how many words of comfort you say, it will feel like an insult.

"Give!"

Words are useless, so action is needed. Lu Yunhe handed a familiar world ring to the Crimson Armor King.

"This is……"

The Crimson Armor King took the storage ring with a puzzled look, probed it with his divine power, and his face was instantly filled with shock.

"I picked it up on the way I was running away, and now it's back to its rightful owner," Lu Yunhe said.

"War King..."

The Crimson Armor King was somewhat moved. Compared to the price of being resurrected after death, the value of this World Ring was actually nothing, but the actions it revealed were incredibly heartwarming.

The depression he felt from being burdened with a huge debt after being resurrected was greatly relieved by the world ring in his hand.

"War King, from now on you are my brother. Just let me know if you need anything," the Crimson Armor King said solemnly.

"Easy to say!"

Lu Yunhe smiled slightly. With this World Ring, the Crimson Armor King's repayment journey should be much easier.

After exchanging a few more words with the Crimson Armor King, Lu Yunhe returned to his residence at the military base.

Soon, the three immortal kings escorted an item to him and handed him an exquisite metal box.

"It's finally fixed!"

Lu Yunhe opened the metal box, and a silver-rimmed mirror lay quietly on it.

Because the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Refining Pavilion seemed to have misjudged the difficulty of repairing domain-type treasures, it took him a full thirty years to complete the repair of the Zhenkong Mirror.

Lu Yunhe didn't care about the extra decades; as long as there was no extra money, everything was negotiable.

"Has it been polished?"

Lu Yunhe held the Zhenkong Mirror in his hand. The smooth surface of the mirror shimmered with light, looking much brighter than when he first held it.

Lu Yunhe then infused it with divine power, feeling the effects of the repair.

The power and range have been slightly reduced, but the overall use has become smoother, at least it won't leak divine power so easily.

"Not bad!"

Lu Yunhe nodded. Now that the Zhenkong Mirror was repaired, he could spend more time exploring the secret realms in the outer battlefield without having to wait any longer.

Over the past thirty years, the Divine Tree clone has absorbed all the resources of those three hundred billion Chaos Units. As expected, its basic strength has reached the level of Immortal King, but unfortunately, it is still a bit short of the advanced level of King.

Actually, it's already quite good. For example, if the Moyun Vine were to evolve from the peak of the Marquis level (256 main vines) to the advanced level of the King level, it would require more than 100 billion Hunyuan units, and there would be a 50% failure rate.

If the foundation isn't solid, the resources required later will naturally increase exponentially.

The Divine Tree Avatar has entered the realm of the King-level Immortal, and Lu Yunhe has also completed half of the fourth level of the "Original True Body", with his divine body amplified by 12 times.

"set off!"

Feeling the surging divine power within him, Lu Yunhe set off again with renewed confidence, leaving the military base.

This time, Lu Yunhe's target is not those secret realm continents, but the dangerous environment within those secret realms.

The Ninth Battlefield itself is located in a secret cosmic realm, and naturally, it contains many extremely dangerous environments.

However, because there are so many explorers in the extraterrestrial battlefield, many dangerous places have been weakened over the years, making them very suitable for people below the level of a Cosmic Venerable to explore.

For example, the cosmic aurora belt is said to be a leak of the original power of the secret realm, containing a large number of lasers, any one of which can seriously injure a king who has achieved immortality.

There are also twin black holes, two black holes that influence each other, and the pressure at their core is so great that even the King's limit cannot withstand it.

Of course, extremely dangerous environments also breed precious treasures.

The special metal at the center of a binary black hole can even be used as a material for weapons of cosmic masters.

All of this was Lu Yunhe's goal: to search for treasure while exploring the secret realms of the universe.

Chapter 243 The Wolf King Who Sees Through Everything

A hundred years later!

"found it!"

Lu Yunhe forcibly entered the core of the cosmic aurora belt and retrieved three Origin Stones from it.

Then countless aurora borealis streaked by, as if hundreds or thousands of kings were launching an attack together.

"Suppress the air!"

Faced with this bombardment that was enough to kill someone at the peak of the King-level realm, Lu Yunhe remained calm. He directly activated the Sky-Suppressing Mirror to freeze the surrounding space, and then instantly slipped away.

Rumble…

Countless auroras were scattered across the surrounding environment, deterring any intruders.

"Origin Stone!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the divine stone in his hand that emitted a faint white light. According to the information in the virtual universe, it was a treasure that could assist immortal gods in their cultivation, and one stone was priced at around 3 billion Chaos Units.

“This time the harvest is good!”

Lu Yunhe put away the Origin Stone, turned around and left the Cosmic Aurora Zone, heading towards his next adventure.

Unbeknownst to him, Lu Yunhe had been wandering the Ninth Battlefield for over a hundred years.
