Chapter 542 - Double Legendary
Lu Ran opened his storage and pulled out the Cosmic Being skill along with Encouraging Voice and Gluttony. Encouraging Voice didn't fit Lu Ran's style, but Gluttony was exceptionally useful.
Using the Gluttony skill to double the nutritional value of resources allowed him to get much more use out of the same amount of resources. Using it would make eating nine elemental gods as good as eating eighteen! However, despite its incredible potential, Lu Ran didn't learn it immediately for a very simple reason. The more amazing the skill, the higher the energy consumption.
While beastmasters could learn how to use their energy more efficiently, they couldn’t completely eliminate a skill’s energy expenditure. Lu Ran felt that even with his incredible physique, he could only effectively use the skill on Epic-grade resources.
Even with the Happy Beastmaster skill, using Gluttony on Legendary resources would still completely exhaust him. It was better to just go restock in an ascension realm or exploit #18 for free labor and duplicate it manually.
After some careful consideration, he decided to learn the Cosmic Being skill first as a solid foundation. He would kick things up a notch once he was level 8.
Whoosh!
Once he had the skill, Lu Ran rode Sudden Death King up into space, where he intended to let it fuse with the new trait he had prepared. At the same time, he would acquire a cosmic physique for himself.
For a while, Sudden Death King had been eating multiple pieces of the Nine-Colored Meteorite, but still wasn’t able to reach the Legendary rank. The final step was just too difficult.
Lu Ran couldn’t wait to enter his next ascension realm. He wanted to return to when spiritual energy on Blue Planet had just returned. He thought that he would be able to find the Nine-Colored Meteorite before it broke apart and feed Sudden Death King the entire thing.
The only problem was that there would be another version of him in that time period, in addition to a past version of Limitless City. He had never tried crossing the timeline like this before.
Dark Crow and Baby Cloud had similarly plateaued. Dark Crow had eaten too many of his own eyes, while Baby Cloud ate a bunch of Epic calamity cores and awakened the Sprite attribute. Both were also stuck at the Quasi-Legendary rank.
Lu Ran was actually anticipating that they would soon make it past this bottleneck. After giving Sudden Death King the Alien Star and its eighth trait, it had to reach Legendary. If it didn’t, then Lu Ran would instruct it to eat the moon.
