Chapter 226 Breaking Free from the Guard
Just as the alien 'Black Mist King' descended upon the Blackwing Tribe's holy city, Chen Yuan had already fled tens of millions of miles away aboard the Primordial Palace.
At that moment, he was looking at the numbers on the panel with great delight.
After this battle, he eliminated more than five million alien races at the Domain Lord level and above, and countless others below the Domain Lord level.
With the addition of those more than one hundred immortal beings from other races, his originally depleted source energy surged to a full 2.6 million!
This means that throughout the entire Domain Lord stage, Chen Yuan will no longer have to worry about energy. After all, even when optimizing an eighth-tier item, it only consumes a few hundred thousand units of Origin at a time.
With this 2.6 million units of primordial energy, he could easily optimize all his treasures to their ultimate potential by taking out just a small amount.
However, the hunting must continue, since for Chen Yuan, there is never too much primordial energy.
After all, he is only at the Domain Lord level now. Once he breaks through to the World Lord level, the system will be upgraded again, and the optimization limit will reach the ninth level!
According to the system's classification, the ninth rank corresponds to the secret techniques at the level of the Lord of the Universe, while the items have entered the level of "Supreme Treasure".
Chen Yuan had a premonition that when he ascended to the level of a Realm Lord, the amount of primal energy required to optimize the treasure would increase dramatically, not just by a simple tenfold increase.
After all, the gap between the two sides is too great. Supreme treasures can become the mainstream equipment of the Lord of the Universe, while minor treasures are only used by some Venerables or even Kings and Immortals.
Just as the improvement from fifth to sixth rank is a hundredfold, Chen Yuan estimated that the improvement from eighth to ninth rank would not be less than that.
The energy consumption of a powerful treasure ranges from 10 to 100 million. If the treasure is optimized in the future, the energy consumption for a single use will probably be in the hundreds of millions!
Looking at it this way, the 2.6 million energy he obtained this time doesn't seem like much, barely enough to optimize one supreme treasure.
Therefore, even for the sake of the future, Chen Yuan should try to obtain as much primordial energy as possible before breaking through, since once he breaks through to the realm lord level, he will no longer be able to obtain energy from the domain lord.
However, there's no need to rush. He just caused such a commotion in the Blackwing Holy City, so he must keep a low profile for the time being.
While continuous deployments might catch the enemy off guard, they could also lead to them falling into traps set by the alien race. While their own safety is one thing, Chen Yuan might expose his true identity as a result.
Moreover, it is foreseeable that this war against the Black Mist Clan will not end in the short term. After all, it is a supercontinent 1.2 light-years away, and there are hundreds of millions of alien races living in it. He can hunt them down slowly and make their preparations useless.
However, Chen Yuan was not in a hurry to reunite with the guards. After all, it had been less than two days since he left. In order to take care of those cosmic-level warriors, Li Shan's flight speed was extremely slow, and he had not even reached Wan Yu City yet.
Chen Yuan, with the high mobility of the Shiyuan Palace, could hunt all over the Nine Domains Continent, so he naturally didn't want to return to the slow-moving team.
As long as he doesn't wander into the holy city areas of other tribes and walk right into their traps, those alien races won't be able to find him in the vast continent.
So Chen Yuan began to hunt to his heart's content on the Nine Domains Continent. He specifically chose to go to the giant cities where immortals were stationed, because the larger the city, the more powerful people there would be.
In just ten days, he annihilated four immortal-level behemoth cities, averaging one every two and a half days, and killed a total of seven immortal-level alien beings.
Obtained 0.83 billion units of primordial energy!
As for military achievements, he gained even more.
Because there aren't many requirements for military merits. As long as you kill the enemy, the military system will naturally calculate your military merits based on the strength and number of the enemy.
Of course, alien races below the cosmic level also have military merits, but whether they are planetary or celestial, they all only have 1 point.
After all, normally only those at the cosmic level are qualified to enter the extraterrestrial battlefield.
According to the military merit criteria provided by the military system, 10-100 points are required for the Cosmic level and 1000-10000 points for the Domain Lord level.
Starting from the Realm Lord level, the military merits fluctuate even more: Realm Lord level: 1000 to 10 million; Immortal level: starting from 1 million; As for the Marquis level Immortal that Chen Yuan killed, the military merits are in the tens of billions!
Therefore, Chen Yuan's military merits have now reached a total of 4.53 trillion, which is equivalent to the military merits of killing tens of thousands of ordinary immortal alien races.
With such a massive amount of military merit, he had long since met the quota set for him by the military system, and even the quota set for him by the company was easily met.
Chen Yuan is now a free man wandering the Nine Domains Continent, and he can leave at any time.
The military system had even activated the military merit exchange system for him in advance, where 10 military merits could be exchanged for 1 Hunyuan unit.
However, if converted into company internal points, due to the special privileges of his domain lord-level status, the exchange ratio between military merits and points reached 1 military merits: 1 point.
In other words, Chen Yuan gained 4.53 million points in less than half a month.
However, he was not in a hurry to exchange these military merits.
Because when he completed his military merit quota, the military system not only opened up a cash exchange channel for him, but also opened the military merit treasure vault!
This treasure vault belongs exclusively to the military system. To be honest, the quality of the treasures inside is slightly inferior to that of the Virtual Universe Company's treasure vault, but there are still many rare items that are scarce in the company's treasure vault.
For example, Chen Yuan found a material he desperately needed in the army's treasury: the Burning Heaven True Feather, one of the nine main materials for refining the original core, priced at 10 trillion military merits!
Therefore, even for the sake of this original core material, he still has to continue to accumulate military merits. Currently, he is still more than 6 trillion military merits short, which is equivalent to killing 6 ordinary immortals.
Of course, in reality, not that many are needed, since the real majority of points come from the hundreds of millions of ordinary alien warriors.
However, Chen Yuan did not continue hunting, but instead prepared to rejoin the guards.
After all, the half-month deadline was fast approaching, and he had little power left in the illusion of time. If he didn't go back soon, he would be discovered.
If Li Shan were to find out that he had disappeared for half a month without explanation, he would easily connect it to what happened in the Blackwing Holy City. After all, the bounty on the alien race's bounty list has always been at the top.
Such a big matter has even attracted the attention of the human race, with some hoping to protect him and others concerned about the valuable treasures he possesses.
In short, the identity of "Silver Armor Man" has caused a huge stir among both humans and other races, and Chen Yuan naturally does not want to expose this identity.
Not long after, Chen Yuan quietly returned to the guards. Due to the concealment of his mental power, even Li Shan, who was right next to him, did not notice that he had left.
The guards are still in Wanyu City. This is their third day in the city. The alien races in the city have been almost completely wiped out, and they have entered the final stage of looting.
Shortly after Chen Yuan returned to Li Shan's side, he suddenly said, "Now that we've finished clearing this city, my military merits are almost enough to meet the quota. Let's go back and rest for a while."
"Is Junior Uncle's military merit already enough?" Li Shan asked, somewhat surprised.
However, upon closer reflection, Chen Yuan once single-handedly killed three thousand domain lords and a peak realm lord; such a feat alone would earn him tens of millions of military merits.
In addition, half of the military merits earned by these guards from killing alien enemies would be shared with Chen Yuan, so reaching 1 million was normal.
"That's true. These past few days have indeed been rather boring, and it's even interfered with Junior Uncle's cultivation." Li Shan nodded in realization. "Now that the military merit quota has been met, let's finish up here and then return to the outer heavens."
"I heard that during this period, the Rongshan Universe Kingdom has built many war bases in the outer reaches of the Nine Domains Continent, which can be used for the soldiers to rest."
"Once Junior Uncle has rested, we'll continue hunting the alien races."
As for why Li Shan didn't mention leaving the Nine Domains Continent, it was naturally because he knew that Chen Yuan, besides having quota missions within the military system...
There are also performance quotas issued by the company, and these quotas are often higher.
Those who have completed their military missions can return to the war base to rest, but only if Chen Yuan completes his company missions can they leave the Nine Domains Continent.
Not long after, all the guards had finished cleaning up the battlefield. Then Li Shan announced that they would return to Tianwai for a period of rest and gave the entire guard a break.
Of course, it was Chen Yuan who suggested the holiday, with the aim of creating an opportunity to separate himself from the others.
The people who were granted a holiday were overjoyed. Although they could not leave the Nine Realms Continent, they could at least do their own things. For example, some people wanted to go out alone to hunt alien races to earn military merits, while others wanted to go into seclusion to cultivate.
After arriving at the war base, Chen Yuan pretended to return to the rest room for seclusion, but in reality, he left an illusion in the room.
Without requiring any action, his Time Phantom can maintain a low-energy standby mode, greatly extending its duration and allowing Chen Yuan to hunt in more distant places.
Inside the Shiyuan Hall, Chen Yuan unfolded the map in his hand. This was a spoil of war he had obtained from an immortal-level alien race, and it recorded the general situation of the entire Nine Domains Continent.
"We've been hunting in the Blackwing Tribe's territory for a while now, and the alien races are about to notice the 'Silver Armor Man's' movements. This won't do."
Chen Yuan glanced at the map and made a decision: "Let's go here. This is the territory of the Black Scale Tribe. I've heard they're the strongest tribe in the Nine Domains Continent."
"I hope there are enough strong individuals here so I can accumulate more source energy and points."
After making the decision, Shiyuan Palace changed direction and sped towards the territory of the Black Scale Tribe.
