Chapter 252 Hunting and Conferring of the Title
The above is the basic information about this original core. It can be said that, apart from the number of clones, its other effects far exceed the original description of the clone technique. This is naturally due to the top-quality materials used.
However, Chen Yuan did not intend to refine the original core now.
Because after he was promoted to Realm Lord, he was able to optimize items up to the ninth tier.
In other words, the quality of this pronucleus has not yet reached its limit.
Most importantly, the optimization system can only optimize arcane arts and items, and before he completely refined this primordial core, it was still considered an item by the system.
Therefore, Chen Yuan naturally chose to optimize it again. He directly put the original core into the optimization space and instructed, "System, optimize the original core, maximize the number of clones, and handle the other functions as you see fit."
[Optimization task is being created. Optimization target: original kernel. Optimization direction: increase the number of clones and improve other functionalities.]
[Task error, reason: Optimization exceeded system limits]
"Exceeding the limit? What happened?"
Chen Yuan clicked on the system error details and glanced at it: "I see. With the system's current computing power, optimizing a ninth-tier item is a bit of a stretch; one optimization can only improve it by one level."
"My requirements are too high. If we really follow this standard, the improvement will definitely be more than one level, which has exceeded the system's maximum computing power."
"In that case, let's take it one by one and solve the problem of the number of clones first."
So Chen Yuan removed the optimizations in other areas, keeping only the increase in the number of clones. This optimization task was successfully completed smoothly, but the time required was—
"A thousand years?"
Chen Yuan could not hide his surprise. He knew that the Shiyuan Hall only required 300 years, and optimizing the original core was even more complicated than the Shiyuan Hall.
After inquiring with the system, it was learned that during this optimization process, the system needed to go back to its origin and start with the innate secret techniques bestowed by the original universe, that is, to analyze the secret runes on the original core of the Golden Horned Beast.
This top-tier talent technique is as complex as a true secret technique, and its difficulty in analysis is unimaginable, far surpassing the optimization of an ordinary treasure.
"Then let's optimize it. There's no rush to create clones. I still need to determine the choice of clones based on the final number of clones."
If he could only choose one clone, Chen Yuan would undoubtedly choose the Nine Nether Blood Sea clone, since the Nether Sea clone is the optimal solution when cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.
However, if there is more than one clone to choose from, then he will need to carefully consider the remaining options.
The optimization task was successfully established. Under the simulation space, it only takes 36 days in reality to complete, and 72 days including the formal optimization.
During this time, Chen Yuan finally arrived at the main continent of Yanji Continent.
After activating the detectors built into the Shiyuan Palace, the situation within a radius of 100 billion kilometers was immediately displayed on the huge virtual screen in the spaceship's control room.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of the Yanji Continent, there are so many powerful alien races."
Looking at the 47 enemy locations marked on the virtual screen, Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh—compared to the number of strong individuals on the surrounding islands, the strong individuals who roamed the main continent were indeed a level higher, and their density was also much higher.
It's important to know that each marker here is divided according to "teams". That is to say, 47 markers represent 47 teams. If we go into detail about each immortal powerhouse, "there are 168 military lord immortals and 62 marquis immortals within the detection range, of which 19 alien teams are moving relatively slowly."
Ireil reported the results of the exploration, then asked, "Master, shall we begin the hunt?"
"Of course, now that we're here, it's time to get started."
Chen Yuan smiled. "Irene, let's catch up with those 19 slower groups first. That will be more efficient."
"Yes, sir. The route has been planned, and we are expected to arrive at the target location in 52 minutes."
With the route confirmed, the Shiyuan Palace flew straight toward the target direction like a ghost, and soon arrived above the first alien team, with the distance between them less than 100,000 kilometers.
The detector footage shows that the team consists of three alien races, all from the same race. The leader is a high-level Marquis Immortal, while the other two are newly acquired Marquises.
These three alien creatures are the "Demon Snail Monkey Clan" of the demon race. They are short in stature, only one meter tall, and covered in black scales.
This race holds a low status among the demon race and is even weaker. At this moment, they are hiding inside an E9-class spaceship, which is slowly flying.
These three Magma Monkeys looked like they could be easily killed, but Chen Yuan smiled coldly because at such close range, his intuition had already seen through everything.
"I never expected that my first hunt in the outer battlefield would result in encountering such a big fish—a hidden King-level expert?"
Yes, these three Magic Snail Monkeys are the tools used by the alien race for fishing. In fact, hidden inside the world ring of the leader Magic Snail Monkey is a demon royal family member, the Myriad Serpent!
"As expected of a race known for its cunning, they actually know how to use the weak Demon Snail Monkey as bait while hiding their true forms."
Sensing the opponent's strength, Chen Yuan smiled confidently: "Twenty-five thousand times the power of a Realm Lord? That barely qualifies as a high-level King. You're unlucky to have met me."
The next second, the Heavenly Light Battle Armor unfolded around his body, and his aura soared, quickly reaching 150,000 times his base strength.
Not only that, the Azure Sky Sword and the Silver Sea Boots also appeared, it can be said that Chen Yuan has prepared to the extreme for this battle.
The hatch of the Shiyuan Palace opened, and Chen Yuan vanished in a flash, arriving the next instant outside the spaceship where the three Magic Snail Monkeys were.
"The Realm of Time!"
As the time deceleration field unfolded, the three Magma Monkeys inside the spaceship were instantly slowed down a thousandfold. Before they could react, a violent sword light tore the entire spaceship apart, and then a figure rushed in.
"Reverse Dragon Strike, Third Transformation—A Fleeting Moment of Light!"
In an instant, the Azure Sky Sword transformed into a slender, silk-like beam of light, slicing past the three Demon Snail Monkeys like a swimming dragon.
Only a few milliseconds had passed when the three Magma Monkeys finally realized: "Time slowdown? Enemy attack!"
However, at this moment, the three of them were horrified to discover that their divine bodies had been annihilated by more than half without their knowledge!
Especially the two weaker Demon Snail Monkeys, whose divine bodies suffered a loss of more than 70%!
"Master, help!"
Just as they cried for help, the world ring of the leader, the Magma Monkey, suddenly exploded, revealing an enormous serpent that even caused the entire spaceship to burst open.
It has light blue scales, six fleshy wings on its back, and ring-shaped patterns on its dense snake scales. It is the royal snake of the demon race, Ziqian Wanshe!
"A human being crowned king?!"
As soon as the Thousand-Headed Serpent emerged, it looked at Chen Yuan with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect to encounter a peak-level King-level expert in this small Yanji Continent."
"This powerful human, I am the High-Ranking King, Wan Qianwang. You cannot kill me with your strength. Why don't we each retreat?"
"Oh? You just want to back out like that?" Chen Yuan chuckled lightly. "Then all my hunting trip was for nothing?"
"Humans have been crowned kings; I have no intention of being your enemy."
Wan Qianwang gave Chen Yuan a deep look and continued, "How about this? These three Demon Snail Monkey servants are my compensation to you. You can gain the military merit of three Marquis Immortals, so your trip won't be in vain."
"Three people granted titles? Tsk tsk, you're really generous. It must have taken a lot of effort to enslave these three magic snail monkeys."
Chen Yuan smiled, then shook his head slightly: "Unfortunately, I'm still more interested in your military achievements."
Before the words were even finished, the "Myriad Submerged Serpent King" seemed to have anticipated the other party's attitude and chose to take the initiative, hoping to catch Chen Yuan off guard.
However, its every move was under Chen Yuan's observation, and Wan Qianwang's all-out attack only hit its illusion.
Then, in the next instant, the giant green snake felt its body sink, and its figure fell heavily to the ground. Suddenly, endless pale green energy appeared around it, eroding its divine body.
The second realm of the Thousand Mist Mirror—the Thousand Wind Realm!
Although Chen Yuan's spatial laws have not yet reached the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, with the blessing of the Beast God's intent, his actual comprehension is comparable to the nineteenth level, so he can naturally activate the second form of this domain treasure.
Compared to the first level, "Sea of Light and Mist," the oppressive force of the Thousand Winds Realm has increased more than tenfold. Even the peak of the King-level realm would have 90% of their mobility suppressed, let alone the mere advanced King-level realm.
"A treasure of the domain?!" A hint of despair flashed in Wan Qianwang's single eye.
It never expected that this human king possessed such a treasure. Under the pressure of the domain, it could not escape even by burning its divine body.
Just as it was distracted by despair, Chen Yuan simultaneously activated the secret technique, Domain of Time. With time slowed down a thousandfold, Wan Qianwang's reactions became even more sluggish, and then, "Suppress Time!"
Chen Yuan gave a cold shout in his heart, and an invisible wave shot out from his fingertips, accurately hitting the immobilized Wan Qianwang.
"Time stopped? No!"
Wan Qianwang's consciousness grew even more desperate. He tried his best to use his divine body to break free from the shackles of time suspension, but how could Chen Yuan give him the chance?
"Reverse Dragon Strike Fourth Transformation - Thousand Storms of Light!"
In an instant, the Azure Sky Sword transformed into thousands of azure streams of light, constantly traversing the massive body of the Myriad Submerged King, each sword strike taking away at least 10% of its divine body!
Before Wanqianwang could break free from the time freeze, he perished completely due to the annihilation of his divine body.
Under Chen Yuan's series of methods, Wan Qianwang was unable to even burn his divine body and died a miserable death at his hands.
"King of Ten Thousand Potentials? As the first King-level expert I've hunted since arriving at the Flame Sacrifice Continent, you're very lucky."
Chen Yuan silently watched Wan Qianwang's massive body dissipate. At the same time as the opponent perished, the three Demon Snail Monkeys, who served as his soul servants, also died simultaneously.
Of course, the original energy and military merits of these four alien races were attributed to him.
