Inside the spaceship's lounge, Bolan began to study his golden finger... [Sacrifice Treasure Box.
Quality: White (closely related to the quality of the sacrificed resources).
Next Quality: Green (Progress 0/100).
Function: All resources can be Sacrificed. The Treasure Box can produce comprehension, law compatibility, ultimate treasures, life gene multiples...]
"Overall, the Treasure Box produces talents and treasures. The more precious the Sacrificed treasures, the higher the Treasure Box's quality, and the stronger the resources it yields."
With no resources to Sacrifice at the moment, Bolan temporarily set aside his study of the golden finger, his gaze sharpening, "First, I'll break through to Universe Rank."
For the genius battle, Bolan had stayed at the peak of Astral Rank long enough.
He unstrapped the Blood Sword from his back, and with a thought, he drew the primordial energy from the universe into his body, transforming it, and began his breakthrough.
For Bolan, even breaking through to Territory Lord Rank or even World Lord would not be difficult.
Breaking through to Universe Rank was as easy as breathing. Once he broke through to Universe Rank, his life level would undergo another leap, and his comprehension, soul, consciousness, and other aspects would all transform and improve. This would be very helpful for his upcoming 30 years of cultivation in Primordial Chaos City.
Under Bolan's mental guidance, the primordial energy from the universe surged into his body like a mighty river.
"Universe Rank, break through!"
It was already just a thin veil, and under Bolan's powerful energy infusion, the breakthrough quickly occurred. Inside his dantian, the saturated Astral star system collapsed and imploded, turning into an endless cloud of energy, which then gradually evolved into an even larger spiral galaxy!
At the center of the galaxy was a miniature black hole.
Immediately after, the universal primordial force and mental energy radiated throughout his body, initiating a full-body life-level leap. Universe Rank Stage One, complete!
At this moment, numerous tiny planets formed the spiral galaxy and its eight spiral arms. Once all these spiral arms gave birth to miniature black holes, he would reach Universe Rank Stage Nine.
After breaking through, Bolan stabilized his realm slightly, then opened the door and walked out. Bolan approached an old World Lord with a hooked nose and bowed slightly.
"Old Ying, I have broken through to Universe Rank and purchased nutrient fluid and some resources. The goods can be prepared in three days. Please plan the optimal delivery route."
Bolan intended to test the functions of the 'Sacrifice Treasure Box' and, in passing, break through to Universe Rank Stage Nine.
"Your Highness, no need for such courtesy." Old Ying quickly returned the bow and explained, "Actually, once Your Highness finishes his cultivation in Primordial Chaos City and his authority increases, he can apply for nutrient fluid for free. There's no need to spend a large amount of cosmic currency to exchange for it; it's not cost-effective."
The nutrient fluid for breaking through from Universe Rank Stage One to Universe Rank Stage Nine was worth tens of thousands of life planets. Let alone Universe Rank, it was a considerable fortune even for Territory Lord Rank. But for Bolan, who possessed 100,000 points and a reward of 10,000 mixed elements, it was less than a drop in the bucket.
Nutrient fluid was measured in cosmic currency units. One point could be exchanged for a trillion cosmic currency. This expense, which could allow him to break through to Universe Rank Stage Nine over a hundred years earlier, Bolan considered extremely cost-effective.
Bolan nodded, "I already know this. Where is the best place for me to sign for delivery?"
"Understood." Seeing Bolan's persistence, Old Ying nodded and had the spaceship's AI plan the route.
A moment later, "Your Highness, according to our flight path, we will pass through Huxu Star in a week. Picking up there would only delay us by one day."
Bolan nodded and returned to the lounge... A week later,
Bolan took off his white clothes and lay down in the nutrient pod.
Soon, the five-meter long, three-meter wide nutrient pod was filled with nutrient fluid. The emerald green, life-energy-rich nutrient fluid completely submerged Bolan's body.
Boom~!
Streams of vital energy frantically permeated Bolan's skin, rapidly transforming into the gene primordial force and psychic energy needed for evolution. Once a certain amount was reached, it immediately began to drive the improvement and evolution of his life genes.
"Hmm? What is this..."
Bolan, who had been lying down, suddenly sat up, a look of surprise on his stern face.
[Detectable resource available for Sacrifice. Would you like to Sacrifice it?]
Originally, Bolan had bought many resources, planning to break through to Universe Rank Stage Nine before trying to understand the rules of the Sacrifice Treasure Box. He hadn't expected nutrient fluid could also be Sacrificed.
That's right, nutrient fluid was essentially a valuable resource, and it was normal for it to meet the requirements for raising the Sacrifice Treasure Box's quality.
Bolan didn't let joy cloud his mind. After lying back down in the nutrient fluid, he calmly said, "Sacrifice 0.1 cubic meter!"
There were World Lord guards like Old Ying on the spaceship to ensure safety. If the nutrient fluid disappeared too quickly, it would easily attract their attention. He didn't intend to reveal the secret of the 'Sacrifice Treasure Box' in his sea of consciousness to anyone.
The next second after choosing to Sacrifice, the white 'Sacrifice Treasure Box' in Bolan's consciousness instantly turned green.
Bolan's spirits lifted. The Treasure Box's quality was not as difficult to improve as he had imagined.
"Continue, Sacrifice 0.1 cubic meter!"
Compared to the more than thirty cubic meters of the nutrient pod, 0.1 cubic meter of nutrient fluid was negligible. Even if Old Ying outside noticed, he would only assume it had been absorbed by Bolan.
"Sacrifice..."
"Sacrifice..."
The green Treasure Box's quality progress was 10%,
15%,
19%... Bolan gradually grasped the trick. The nutrient fluid permeating his body was divided into two parts in a nine-to-one ratio: one part was used to break through to Universe Rank, and the other nine parts were Sacrificed.
Green Treasure Box — Blue Treasure Box,
After upgrading to the green Treasure Box, the progress of Sacrifice improvement dropped significantly. One cubic meter of nutrient fluid only increased the progress by 2%.
Bolan had Old Ying replace the nutrient fluid twice before the Treasure Box's quality was raised to blue!
After reaching blue, no matter how much nutrient fluid was Sacrificed, the Treasure Box's quality progress no longer increased.
"It seems that the upper limit of nutrient fluid quality can only raise the Treasure Box to blue."
Bolan nodded. Overall, improving the Sacrifice Treasure Box's quality wasn't that difficult.
Of course, this was for a genius like Bolan. For ordinary Universe Rank cultivators or even scions of powerful families, nutrient fluid was an extremely luxurious and precious resource, which they couldn't afford to buy, let alone Sacrifice to improve the Treasure Box's quality.
"Open~!"
Bolan chose to open the blue Treasure Box.
[Universal Primordial Energy compatibility increased by 3 times!]
A mysterious energy appeared in his body, traveling through his limbs and bones. In just a moment, Bolan, who was immersed in the nutrient pod, absorbed and converted universal primordial energy three times faster.
"This kind of improvement is a bit useless!"
The compatibility with universal primordial energy was the least important talent for geniuses like them. Breaking through major realms required comprehension, while improving minor realms only required soaking in nutrient fluid.
"Let's try again!"
Bolan was not discouraged and once again used nutrient fluid to Sacrifice for a blue Treasure Box.
This time, the reward he opened was somewhat useful, improving the quality and strength of Bolan's primordial force.
[Internal Primordial Force quality increased by 0.2 times!]
Bolan tried a few more times, and all the rewards he opened were related to universal primordial energy.
"It seems that the treasures opened from the Treasure Box are directly related to the treasures Sacrificed! Sacrificing nutrient fluid only yields primordial energy rewards.
So, if I Sacrifice weapons, and the quality reaches a certain stage, will I be able to open an 'ultimate treasure'?"
Bolan's eyes narrowed.
"For example, if I Sacrifice special resources like the 'chaos true spirit' from Primordial Chaos City or the 'blood river crystal' from Blood Luo Continent, will it significantly enhance my law talent, cosmic compatibility, and life gene multiples?"
"Let's verify it!"
To break through from Universe Rank Stage One to Universe Rank Stage Nine, he still needed to stay in the nutrient pod for a while. Bolan began to Sacrifice other resources he had purchased.
