“Gold… Golden Armor?” The attendant’s eyes widened in disbelief. No one knew how long this set of golden armor had been on display, yet it had never sold. Internally, Yu Baotang had already received suggestions to either remove it from display or reduce its price, but those suggestions had never been accepted. The golden armor remained, with its price fixed at 5 billion yuan yuan units for a long time.
“Please wait a moment, sir,” the attendant quickly said, then hurriedly called the person in charge of Yu Baotang’s first floor. It was a human woman with curly golden hair and a slender figure, her sleeves bearing three star marks.
A three-star expert!
The golden-haired woman smiled at Luo Feng and said, “Let’s talk inside.”
Luo Feng nodded and entered a hall behind the store, where only he and the golden-haired woman were present, sitting opposite each other.
“Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Queen Canxin, deputy head of Yu Baotang,” the golden-haired woman said.
Luo Feng merely nodded without speaking.
“It’s rare to encounter someone who wants to buy this golden armor,” the golden-haired woman said with a smile. “I should warn you though; historically, no one who bought this armor gained much benefit. Fifty billion yuan yuan units is no small sum…”
Luo Feng nodded.
He considered himself quite wealthy, but spending 50 billion yuan yuan units on an item of low value would be something he’d hesitate over. However, this was part of the armor set—Battle Armor and Silver Armor series. Even experts at the level of a Celestial Ruin would have to work hard to damage it, clearly indicating it was a higher-grade armor than the Silver Armor.
He had to buy it, even if it meant going bankrupt!
“I’ll take it,” Luo Feng said.
“This is the purchase agreement,” the golden-haired woman replied. “It will be supervised by the Virtual Universe system, and both parties will sign. After signing, you will transfer the money directly to Yu Baotang. If we fail to deliver the treasure to you, we will return the funds and offer tenfold compensation.”
Luo Feng and the golden-haired woman signed the agreement.
Luo Feng immediately transferred 50 billion yuan yuan units to Yu Baotang’s main account.
“I don’t want Yu Baotang to leak the news of my purchase of the golden armor,” Luo Feng frowned.
“Don’t worry,” the golden-haired woman said confidently. “We at Yu Baotang have confidentiality regulations. Of course, if you yourself leak the information, we cannot be held responsible.”
Luo Feng then stood up and left directly.
The golden-haired woman watched Luo Feng leave, and then she herself vanished from the hall.
…
In the Virtual Universe, within a separate plane of existence belonging to a Celestial Ruin expert.
The golden-haired woman appeared on an endless icy land. In the center of this icy land stood an ancient temple. Inside the temple, there was no one, while outside, sitting on the icy ground, was an old man.
“Master,” the golden-haired woman stood respectfully before the old man. He was the head of Yu Baotang, an existence at the level of a Celestial Ruin expert. Usually, only for truly massive transactions would he be summoned.
“What big business does Yu Baotang have?” The old man looked at the golden-haired woman. He was indeed the head of Yu Baotang, an existence at the level of a Celestial Ruin expert. Generally, only for truly massive transactions would he be summoned.
“The golden armor has been sold,” the golden-haired woman said.
“That useless, damaged golden armor?” The old man was puzzled.
“Yes,” the golden-haired woman replied respectfully.
“Who bought it?” The old man asked.
“He didn’t reveal his identity, only leaving a Virtual Universe number for us to contact him to receive the goods,” the golden-haired woman said. “It’s difficult to identify his identity through the Virtual Universe number.”
“I can’t do it either. Of course, it’s difficult,” the old man waved his hand. “You may leave now.”
“Yes.”
The golden-haired woman vanished into thin air.
Now, only the old man remained on this icy land. He slightly furrowed his brow: “A golden armor priced at merely 50 billion yuan yuan units with poor effects, why does the master attach so much importance to it? The master has ordered that the price of this golden armor be maintained at 50 billion yuan yuan units. If anyone buys it, the master must be informed immediately. Could there really be some mystery hidden in this golden armor?”
His master…
Was one of the true overlords of the peak race, ‘humanity,’ standing at the pinnacle, and also the true master of Yu Baotang.
…
In the Virtual Universe, at the highest point of Thunder Island, hidden within the chaotic streams of energy in a palace, a figure suddenly appeared outside the palace gates. He had a towering, mountain-like body, a long dragon tail, and a pair of eyes that seemed to contain the entire universe. Just standing at the palace gate, his invisible domineering aura made the virtual space tremble and distort.
“Chaos City Lord,” he stood directly at the palace gate and spoke, his voice directly transmitting into the palace, reverberating within.
“Dragon Walker, you’ve arrived at the gate. Why not come in?” A calm voice emerged from deep within the palace.
The two.
One was so domineering that the space trembled.
The other was as calm as the vast sea and starry sky.
“Without your permission, how dare I enter uninvited?” Dragon Walker’s voice was deep, laced with teasing amusement as he stepped into the palace.
The chaotic energy streams inside the palace automatically parted, revealing a path. Dragon Walker immediately saw the Chaos City Lord seated on the throne far away. Without hesitation, Dragon Walker walked directly to the first throne beside and below the Chaos City Lord and sat down: “I came for the Golden Armor of the Flame God Clan.”
“The Golden Armor of the Flame God Clan?” The Chaos City Lord’s eyes lit up. “Dragon Walker, have you found the method to create the golden armor?”
“No,” Dragon Walker shook his head. “That alien expert was impressive, capable of mass-producing these magical armors. Our human race has studied it for years but has never been able to replicate.”
“Then why are you here?” The Chaos City Lord was puzzled.
“Someone purchased a set of the Flame God Clan’s golden armor,” Dragon Walker said.
The Chaos City Lord looked at Dragon Walker. What did it mean to tell him that someone had bought it? He also knew… Dragon Walker had deliberately set the price at 50 billion yuan yuan units to force those immortal gods without confidence to give up on buying it. Those brave enough to purchase it should have some confidence in using the golden armor. Perhaps one of these immortal gods might have a unique encounter and uncover some secrets of using or manufacturing the golden armor.
But to specially come and tell him, could it be…
“The one who purchased the Flame God Clan’s golden armor is your disciple, Luo Feng,” Dragon Walker said.
“Oh…” Although the Chaos City Lord had a guess, once confirmed, many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he quickly confirmed some information.
“Your disciple is from Earth. Earth humans were also guided and nurtured by that alien expert,” Dragon Walker said. “The Flame God Clan was also guided and nurtured by that alien expert… It’s possible your disciple Luo Feng has a method to use the golden armor.”
“So what if he has a method? How many sets of golden armor do we have in the clan?” The Chaos City Lord shook his head. “Finding the method to mass-produce golden armor, and even researching the Flame God Clan’s more powerful ‘Emperor Armor’ that they keep secret, that’s the top priority. Otherwise, just a few sets of golden armor are of no use to us humans.”
The Chaos City Lord and Dragon Walker… these supreme overlords of the universe had extremely high standards.
The methods to produce golden armor, and even the Flame God Clan’s strongest Emperor Armor, were what they were after. Obviously… the Flame God Clan could use them in large numbers, so there must be a method for mass production. Unfortunately, despite killing many Flame God Clan members, even searching their souls and using numerous methods, they had never been able to discover this secret.
“Haha… I won’t interfere further with your disciple’s matter. You, as the teacher, can handle it personally,” Dragon Walker said in a deep voice. “If an important secret is discovered, one that could elevate the overall strength of our human race, that would be a great achievement.”
“Mm.” The Chaos City Lord nodded. “Leave it to me.”
“Has your true self returned?” Dragon Walker suddenly asked, his expression turning serious.
“Not yet,” the Chaos City Lord shook his head.
“Be careful,” Dragon Walker said in a low voice. “Don’t get killed.”
“If I get killed, I can just reform my true self using my clone. It would just take more energy and time,” the Chaos City Lord said.
“How much energy and treasures would your true self require to reform? How long would it take? That much energy and treasures would be a blow to our human race. And losing your true self’s combat power for such a long time would also have a significant impact. You are a crucial combat force for our human race,” Dragon Walker said with a smile. “Don’t go too crazy. Know when to stop when you’re ahead.”
The Chaos City Lord nodded.
“I’m leaving,” Dragon Walker stood up and vanished into thin air.
…
On the throne inside the palace, the Chaos City Lord sat there, while Dragon Walker had already left long ago.
“Although Luo Feng has created a pinnacle martial art, his comprehension of the laws is rather mediocre,” the Chaos City Lord frowned. “Even with the Shiwu Wings, his combat power remains limited, yet the battle prowess he displays is quite astonishing. Without relying on the Shiwu Wings, he already possesses the combat strength of a high-level titled king. We always assumed he must have had some extraordinary encounter, obtaining some supreme treasure. Now it appears… it must be the Flame God Clan’s armor, the general armor.”
(Note: “封王” is translated as “high-level封王” to maintain the original term, as it may refer to a specific rank or title in the context. If further clarification is needed, please provide additional context.)
“Alas!”
The Chaos City Lord sighed inwardly.
He felt disappointed.
Because the armor, general armor, and even more advanced armors were all mass-produced by the Flame God Clan. Although their effects might be miraculous, they were extremely effective at the immortal god stage. However, as one’s strength increases, the effectiveness of these armors diminishes. These armors are only meaningful to the clan if they can be mass-produced!
For an individual, it’s only temporarily powerful.
“I originally thought he had encountered some great fortune, perhaps a mysterious supreme treasure born from the universe, or something from before the Great Destruction Era…” The Chaos City Lord shook his head. A true supreme treasure should become more formidable as one’s strength increases. For example, the Shiwu Wings only have average power when used by an immortal god.
But in the hands of a Celestial Ruin expert, they become incredibly powerful.
And in the hands of a Cosmic Sovereign, they are still useful.
That’s what qualifies as a supreme treasure.
“This is just a hypothesis.”
“We’ll see if my disciple can truly use this golden armor,” the Chaos City Lord murmured softly. “Perhaps he doesn’t have the ability to use the golden armor, but has some other powerful techniques that give him such strength… If he can use it, it also shows that my disciple possesses a special method to use the Flame God Clan’s armor.”
The method the Flame God Clan used to wield armor had long been known to humans.
However…
It couldn’t be replicated. Except for the Flame God Clan, other race beings couldn’t use it. Like during a war on the battlefield outside the domain, countless immortal gods were reduced to ashes. Those wearing the soldier and general armors were directly blown apart, shattered into pieces mixed with countless other remnants. The humans who sorted through the debris didn’t discover the special nature of these broken armors, treating them merely as fragments of debris.
The golden armor, however, remained undamaged as a complete set, so it was naturally valued and treated as a treasure.
