Soon, going around the Dark Domain Outpost, they began stocking up on some supplies.
Although Maximus had already prepared for the journey, ensuring they had everything they might ever need, the outpost still had unique products that piqued their interest.
Especially the Chaos Grade Items.
A large number of them could be found in the outpost.
Wanting to study these Chaos Grade Items, Maximus needed a large sample of them.
Sweeping up every type of Chaos Grade Item, regardless of tier, they also discovered that the outpost was selling Tier 12 Ultimate Materials.
"As expected of the front line of the Aeon Plane, even such treasures are for sale."
Although Ultimate Materials were not as powerful as Ultimate Treasures, they were more malleable.
Whether used in arrays, paths of law, or other devices, they were like a universal enhancement stone.
Looking at the Absolute Powerhouse selling the ultimate treasure, Maximus asked for the price.
"1.25 billion Crystallized Causality," Korvash, the Absolute of Carnage, said nonchalantly, not thinking Maximus could afford it.
A Crystallized Causality contains a million strands of causality.
Besides the Overlords, his regular customers, he didn't think anyone else could afford such a price.
"I'll take it," Maximus said without thinking.
After a long accumulation, Maximus had saved a few quintillion strands of causality or a few trillion crystallized causality.
"T-take it?" Korvash paused, taking a closer look at Maximus.
Seeing Maximus possess an Ocean-level path at the Tier 10 realm, he immediately thought of the ongoing Dimensional Competition.
Maximus should be one of the top competitors among them.
With such potential, being able to afford a tier-12 ultimate material was not too surprising.
"What a talent. Here." Korvash tossed the ultimate material to him.
Paying the 1.25 billion Crystallized Causality, Maximus asked if he had other ultimate materials for sale.
"I don't. You should look around the outpost; there should be others selling them."
"Is Tier 12 Ultimate Material so common? Where did you get them?" Maximus hurriedly asked as he saw Korvash leaving.
"Those dark beasts…" Korvash said briefly and left, not caring much about Maximus.
Although Maximus was a talent, in his eyes, it was just that.
"Dark beasts…" Falling into thought, Maximus quickly understood that these ultimate treasures were from the dark beasts.
Because the place was filled with thick, chaotic miasma, the Ocean of Knowledge couldn't exert much of its power.
Besides some bits and pieces of scattered information, he didn't know much about the Dark Void Domain.
Looking at the piece of ultimate material in his hands, which appeared to be part of some beast, it further confirmed Maximus's deduction.
"It seems a dark beast is filled with treasures!"
Knowing one could refine ultimate materials from a dark beast, Maximus couldn't help but be excited.
Earning billions of Crystallized Causality from a kill, it was no wonder that, even if it was dangerous, Absolute Powerhouses flocked here.
A billion Crystallized Causality is worth a quadrillion strands of causality.
Although it's only worth hundreds of years of what the Ether Refiner could produce, it was already a massive amount, even for an Overlord.
Moreover, this was only a side benefit.
Maximus had heard that killing a dark beast would be directly rewarded by the Aeon Plane.
Purified and processed from pure chaotic energy, it was much more powerful than the causality of power.
Chaotic Energy is only volatile energy for creatures, but for a plane, it is its building block.
Whether it's the Aeon Plane or the various dimensions, all of it is made from Chaotic Energy.
It can even be said that if they could suppress the dark disaster, it would be a blessing.
For each dark beast they killed, the Aeon Plane could gain a chaotic essence that it could use to advance.
Dividing it with the dark beast slayer, it was like taking a panacea.
It is said that it could even help an Overlord break through to the Tier 13 realm.
Unfortunately, such rumors were baseless.
If it could help an Overlord advance, why couldn't it help the Abyss Will to reach the Tier 12 realm?
However, the processed chaotic essence should still be a great help to his family.
After the Elimination Round and countless killings, their path of law had already reached 70-90% progress.
A little more, and they could break through the ocean of law.
Unlike him, they didn't have to worry about a bottleneck.
The path they were following was already forged by him; they only needed enough energy and precipitation to follow.
As for the shortcoming, it was the lack of a source of path—a path without roots.
Fortunately, Maximus had already thought of a solution to address this problem.
Once his path advanced to the Absolute of Law, he should be able to condense a source independent to the Source of Knowledge.
With thoughts flashing through his mind, Maximus continued to shop with his wives.
Buying Ultimate Materials, he couldn't be more energetic.
Vigorously exploring the outpost—from every shop, stall, nook, and cranny—looking for those Absolutes, they managed to buy three more Ultimate Materials.
"Three more Ultimate Materials!"
It seemed that the spawn rate of ultimate treasures from the dark beasts was higher than he expected.
"Why aren't there any dark beast bodies for sale?" Erica suddenly asked in pity.
Initially, hearing that a dark beast produced Ultimate Materials, she thought about how delicious it would be if cooked.
Unfortunately, after looking at all the shops and stalls, she couldn't even find a piece of the dark beast's body.
"What are you thinking? A dark beast's body is full of chaotic energy,"
"Then how could Ultimate Materials be extracted from them?"
"They should be purified by the Absolute of Law," Lilith analyzed.
If a River and Ocean of Law could purify origin energy to condense strands of causality, then an Absolute of Law should be able to purify the volatile materials and make them usable.
"Don't worry. After we get on the battlefield, I'll let you have a dark beast body," Maximus said confidently.
With his ability, he should be able to purify a dark beast.
"Then it's a promise…"
Continuing to look around the outpost, a scarlet eyes caught a glimpse of Maximus.
"Maximus~ I finally found you, my husband…"
