Lu Ming nodded.
After all, he was only a realm lord, and his understanding of the specific strength divisions at the level of the universe venerable was only through data from the virtual universe; he had no personal experience of it.
However, he could clearly sense that Xiao Lei's power at this moment was as vast and boundless as the cosmos, far exceeding that of an ordinary invincible king!
"Being able to rival a Venerable One should be no problem."
Lu Ming was resolute.
"With Little Lei as my trump card, plus the Annihilation Stardust Venom... I should be able to roam freely in this extraterrestrial battlefield from now on!"
Feeling the reassuring and powerful energy within his body, Lu Ming's eyes ignited with renewed fighting spirit.
"It's time to set off again!"
"I have already thoroughly understood the basic mysteries of the Law of Fire, and have even touched upon its deeper essence... It can be said that I am only one final breakthrough away from fully comprehending the entire Law of Fire."
Lu Ming understood perfectly.
If he wanted to, he could easily break through to immortality by going into seclusion now, but he forcibly stopped the urge to do so.
"Don't rush, absolutely don't rush."
He warned himself secretly.
"The Realm Lord stage is the best time to lay an unparalleled foundation! Once you break through to immortality, your divine body and divine kingdom will be finalized, and much of your potential will be fixed."
He wants to accumulate his foundation to its true limit and true peak at the Realm Lord stage!
Only by making another breakthrough then can we go further in the future!
"My greatest weakness right now is actually... my divine body!"
Lu Ming examined himself and frowned slightly.
His genetic level has reached an astonishing one hundred times!
This would be considered the very best among human species.
The problem is that his actual size is still that of an ordinary human!
During the era of the Realm Lord, the difference in energy reserves caused by this size difference was not fatal.
However, once one breaks through to immortality, the size of the divine body will directly determine the amount of divine power reserves!
The difference in divine power reserves between an immortal being of human size and an immortal being of a special life form tens of thousands of kilometers tall would be astronomical!
In brutal, high-level battles, this can often determine life or death!
The total number of divine beings the size of ordinary humans is probably less than one ten-millionth of the number of powerful and special life forms.
They would be at a huge disadvantage in a fight.
"With such a small body, if it were to directly break through to immortality... that would be far too weak."
Lu Ming shook his head. He was not content with merely becoming an ordinary human king.
Therefore, he has been preparing to create a clone for himself!
A powerful avatar with a massive divine body!
At that time, having one clone as a reserve while the main body focuses on fighting is the most perfect way to protect oneself and fight.
"I know of two ways to obtain a clone."
Lu Ming pondered.
"One option is to possess special life forms that possess the secret technique of 'cloning,' such as the Golden Horned Beast... But the risk is too great. Not to mention the extremely dangerous process of possession, what I'm most worried about is whether the system in my sea of consciousness will disappear after possession?"
This is Lu Ming's biggest concern. The system is his greatest asset, and he absolutely cannot afford to lose it.
"Secondly, it is the use of special cosmic treasures that can directly grant life forms the ability to create clones."
Chapter 44 The Vortex of Ten Thousand Bones
A hint of longing flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
"These treasures are all rare gems in the universe, practically priceless! Even with my current status and wealth, I don't even have the qualifications to buy them. The Virtual Universe Company's treasure vault simply doesn't grant me access to treasures of this level."
Not enough money, not enough authority!
this is the truth.
"The only way is to improve one's status within the human race!"
Lu Ming's gaze sharpened.
"With a high enough status, one's authority will naturally be elevated, allowing access to truly top-tier treasures and the qualification to purchase them!"
"Secondly, it's about continuing to accumulate wealth! The money I have now is probably not even a fraction of what those treasures are worth, so I need to keep 'spending'!"
The goal has become clear.
Lu Ming set his primary goal for the current stage.
"My first goal is to truly earn my title of King in this extraterritorial battlefield! Then, with my King-level strength and sufficient influence, I will join the Hong Alliance!"
The Hongmeng is a powerful alliance primarily composed of humans, uniting numerous other races in the universe.
Joining Hongmeng not only signifies status and recognition, but also provides access to a broader platform and resources!
"Once I join the Hongmeng, my authority will be greatly enhanced, and I'll have more channels to accumulate wealth! At that time, whether it's purchasing clone treasures or gathering resources for Xiao Lei to break through to the Venerable realm, it will be much easier!"
With that in mind, Lu Ming no longer hesitated.
With a thought, the Meteor Shuttle quietly departed from the 073rd military base, disappearing once again into the vast and dangerous depths of the extraterritorial battlefield like a ghost.
This time, he will no longer keep a low profile.
He will carve out a formidable name on the battlefield of billions of races!
This paves the way for future attempts to reach even higher levels!
Inside the Meteor Shuttle control room, Lu Ming pulled up a detailed star map of the Ninth Extraterrestrial Battlefield, his gaze sweeping over several areas marked as extremely dangerous.
"The ancient star belt where I participated in the previous activities mostly produced marquises, with very few being granted the title of king, which is no longer suitable for me now."
Lu Ming tapped his finger, and the star map quickly zoomed in.
"To earn a reputation as a king, one must naturally go to the place where kings gather!"
His gaze finally settled on a star field called "Vortex of Myriad Bones".
The Vortex of Myriad Bones is said to be one of the final battlefields of an ancient, earth-shattering war, where countless powerful beings perished. Their divine bodies, weapons, and spaceship wreckage, over the long years, were drawn together by the forces of nature in the universe, forming a massive vortex-like structure with a diameter exceeding thousands of light-years.
The space here is extremely unstable, filled with various chaotic energy storms and hidden spatial rifts. Occasionally, some secret treasures or inheritances left behind by ancient powerhouses will appear, attracting a large number of King-level Immortals from the Ninth Domain Outer Battlefield to adventure, fight, and seek opportunities here.
Kings from the elite races of humans, demons, machines, and insects, as well as numerous other vassal races, are like sharks that have smelled blood, constantly swimming in this vortex of death.
"The Vortex of Ten Thousand Bones... This is it!"
A cold glint flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
"Only by having enough kings fall can true, supreme prestige be forged!"
If you want the title of King to resound across the battlefields beyond the realms and even reach the ears of the Hong Alliance's higher-ups, there is nothing faster or more direct than paving the way with the blood and lives of Kings from other races!
He needs results, he needs impressive results!
Killing a marquis? That was something he'd already done centuries ago. Now, his goal is to become a king!
They are those powerful immortals who are pillars of their respective races!
"Xiao Lei's strength is now comparable to that of an ordinary Venerable, and his Annihilation Stardust Venom can even threaten Venerables... As long as I don't encounter those freaks among the King-level Invincible, I am enough to stir up a bloodbath in this Vortex of Myriad Bones!"
Lu Ming was full of confidence.
Moreover, his own strength is by no means inferior!
"Qingyuan, set the flight path, target—the core area of the Myriad Bones Vortex, the Burial God Gobi Desert!"
"Yes, Master!"
The meteor shuttle trembled slightly, instantly accelerating to the speed of light, and directly traversed the universe, heading towards the vortex of countless bones where powerful beings were as numerous as clouds and slaughter was rampant.
Lu Ming closed his eyes, adjusted his state, and immersed his consciousness in the enlightenment of "Burning Universe and Splitting Sky Slash".
Although Xiao Lei is his biggest trump card, his own strength is equally important.
He wanted to take this ultimate skill to a higher level during the battle.
The Burning Universe Sky-Splitting Slash has now been cultivated to the eighth level, corresponding to the peak of the King-Sealing stage!
That's amazing enough. The next step is to create your own secret technique.
This will take far too long.

Months later, the Meteor Shuttle silently infiltrated the outer perimeter of the Myriad Bones Vortex, where the chaotic energy flow and spatial fragments provided it with excellent cover.
"Qingyuan, activate the detector and begin the exploration."
Lu Ming gave the order.
"Yes, Master."
Qingyuan quickly activated the Sky Patrol Eye, and an invisible detection wave instantly swept across a large area around her.
A moment later, Qingyuan's voice rang out with a hint of solemnity: "Master, according to the intelligence I just received from the extraterritorial battlefield, as well as some of the publicly available bounty information I intercepted... for nearly a hundred years, someone has been using the channels of the demon race to continuously search for your specific location information with high bounties."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh? Who is it?"
"It is the 'Tearful King' of the demon race."
