“Senior brother, Ninth Prince Brolin has gone to the castle,” Chou Yu said in a low voice among the Hundred Tigers Tower faction.
“Hmph.”
The thin man stared into the distance with his silver eyes and snorted coldly. “Brolin has too great an advantage. First, he is the Ninth Prince, which means the forces controlled by the royal family within the Holy Land ‘Black Dragon Mountain’ support him. Second, his maternal grandfather has an extremely high status in the Holy Land ‘Black Dragon Mountain’, and he also has a group of supporters. As a result, among the 500,000 troops of Black Dragon Mountain, as many as 220,000 troops actually obey his command alone.”
This time, there were nearly two million troops.
The two Holy Lands, Black Dragon Mountain and Ice Sea Divine Nation, each had 500,000 troops.
The four major organisations each had 200,000 troops.
The sixteen great families each provided 10,000 troops.
However, Ninth Prince Brolin, because of his special background and status, was able to control 220,000 troops. These were 220,000 troops that could unite together. His advantage was indeed enormous.
“He divided his army of slightly more than 220,000 troops into seven large groups, with each group consisting of 30,000 soldiers.” The thin man said coldly. “With 30,000 troops plundering everywhere, who can stop them?”
……
The allied army was filled with discussions. Although many elites were dissatisfied in their hearts, in terms of status, they were merely the young generation elites of those organisations. Their positions were far inferior to those of Universe level experts. As a Ninth Prince, and with his mother’s side of the family being extremely powerful, Brolin’s status was naturally much higher.
If this were outside, rather than inside the assessment world.
With a single order from Brolin, killing a Universe level expert would have been extremely easy. However, this was the ‘World Within a World’, and Brolin could only follow the rules here.
Ancient castle.
When Brolin entered the castle with his bodyguards, Luo Feng had already followed the guidance of the castle’s intelligent life and entered one of the cold and secluded ancient rooms.
The ancient room was cold and quiet. A faint light illuminated the entire room, but the mottled marks on the walls told of its ancient history. The walls, made from blocks of dark greenish black stone bricks, faintly carried a strange aura.
“What do you want to exchange for, little fellow?” A deep voice echoed throughout the ancient room.
The ancient room was silent.
Luo Feng looked around, but there was no one present.
“Of course, I want to exchange for treasures,” Luo Feng replied.
“Do you have Thunder Stones? Recently, many people have deliberately come here, but they did not have Thunder Stones to exchange,” the deep voice continued.
“I do.”
Luo Feng waved his hand, and a pile of Thunder Stones, reaching the height of a person, immediately appeared before him.
“Very good.” After the deep voice finished speaking.
Faint footsteps came from the corridor outside. Then, a chubby old man with a white beard walked in. A faint halo of light surrounded his body. With just one glance, Luo Feng could tell that this white bearded old man was an intelligent life, just like Babata inside the ‘Meteorite Starship’ back then, forming an energy body.
“It is rare for someone to come here to exchange.” The white bearded old man smiled as he looked at Luo Feng.
“Greetings, old sir. May I ask what I should call you…” Luo Feng said politely.
Regardless, this white bearded old man before him was an intelligent life. He had followed World Master Kabu before and had lived alone for more than ten million years. Such an existence deserved respect. Moreover, according to Babata, this old man had been lonely for millions of years and might have developed some strange personality traits, so it was better not to provoke him.
“Little fellow, you may call me Lord Wu,” the white bearded old man said with a smile, the faint halo around his body flowing.
“Lord Wu?” Luo Feng was stunned.
What a strange name.
“Lord Wu, I want to exchange for treasures,” Luo Feng said.
“You are not going to accompany me and chat a little more? Why are you in such a hurry?” The white bearded old man looked slightly dissatisfied.
Luo Feng hurriedly said, “Lord Wu, then…”
“Since you are in such a hurry, then exchange.” The white bearded old man changed expression extremely quickly, becoming indifferent at once. “What do you want to exchange for?”
“A fifth rank Origin Force weapon, the ‘Ice Soul Blade’,” Luo Feng said. “And a fifth rank Spiritual Weapon, the ‘Void Suppression Cauldron’.”
“Oh?” The white bearded old man was very surprised.
“There is one more thing, a Life Fruit.” Luo Feng slightly bowed. “Lord Wu, that is all I need.”
“Only these three?” The halo around the white bearded old man’s body suddenly became much brighter. He looked at the black haired young man before him with great astonishment. “The fifth rank Origin Force weapon ‘Ice Soul Blade’ requires 130,000 Thunder Stones. The fifth rank Spiritual Weapon ‘Void Suppression Cauldron’ requires 180,000 Thunder Stones. A single Life Fruit requires 800,000 Thunder Stones. The area within 10,000 kilometres around this castle is within my detection range. Among these adventurer armies, you do not seem to have much status. How did you obtain so many Thunder Stones?”
Luo Feng smiled.
A 10,000 kilometre detection range?
Actually, Babata had already reminded him of this long ago. In terms of detection, although the white bearded old man’s detection range was large, a defensive system like Earth’s covered the entire Solar System.
However, although the range was large, the precision of detection was far inferior.
“Lord Wu, do you even need to ask about this?” Luo Feng asked in surprise.
“I was only asking for fun.” The white bearded old man blinked and said casually, “The three treasures, fine, no problem.”
Luo Feng’s heart became filled with anticipation.
In fact, exchanging for these three treasures was Babata’s suggestion. According to Babata, the entire treasure list had rather chaotic prices.
For example, the ‘complete inheritance crystal ball of space secret techniques’ was a priceless treasure. In terms of value, it could be said to be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times more valuable than a fifth rank Origin Force weapon, the ‘Skyfire Wheel’. However, its price was only 30 million Thunder Stones after combining the three passwords of the inheritance crystal ball.
It was merely 300 times the price.
Another example was the ‘Life Fruit’, which required 800,000 Thunder Stones. In the outside world, the true value of a Life Fruit was equivalent to a World Master’s life. It was more expensive than hundreds of Skyfire Wheels.
Therefore…
The value inside this place and the value outside were not the same. There were techniques involved when purchasing treasures.
The fifth rank Origin Force weapon ‘Ice Soul Blade’ was five or six times more expensive than the Skyfire Wheel outside, while the Void Suppression Cauldron was even ten times more expensive than the Skyfire Wheel. However, when exchanged here, the price difference was not that large.
Inside the silent ancient room.
The white bearded old man, surrounded by flowing light, stood there.
“The three treasures together cost a total of 1.11 million Thunder Stones,” the white bearded old man said.
“Lord Wu, please accept them.” Luo Feng handed over an ordinary space ring. After fighting his way here, Luo Feng had obtained quite a few space rings.
“Oh?”
The white bearded old man waved his hand, and the space ring flew into his palm. A smile appeared on his face. “Yes, there are exactly 1.11 million Thunder Stones.”
“This is the fifth rank Origin Force weapon, the ‘Ice Soul Blade’.” The white bearded old man waved his hand, and a strange weapon appeared. It was a double layered curved blade with a silver blue arc. In an instant, the temperature of the entire ancient room suddenly dropped. The water vapour in the surrounding space began to condense, and the blade itself was incredibly sharp.
The Ice Soul Blade floated before Luo Feng.
Luo Feng felt as if even his soul was about to be cut apart. He immediately reached out and stored it inside his space ring.
“This is the fifth rank Spiritual Weapon, the ‘Void Suppression Cauldron’.” The white bearded old man waved his hand again. A small cauldron, about 30 centimetres tall, appeared before Luo Feng. It was pure purple, as if it had been cast from purple copper. Countless extremely complicated secret patterns covered the cauldron, far more complex than the patterns on the Soaring Shuttle by countless times. They felt very similar to the golden secret patterns on the Golden Horned Beast’s body.
The strange secret patterns…
Caused the surrounding space to seem as if it had been isolated. Although the cauldron was only 30 centimetres tall, Luo Feng felt that the small cauldron before him was infinitely expanding, like a mountain so huge that he could not see the end of it, towering so high that its peak was beyond sight, making him hold his breath.
“Stop staring foolishly. The origin secret patterns carved onto fifth rank Origin Force weapons and fifth rank Spiritual Weapons are all close to the laws of the universe origin. Each one possesses tremendous power. However, only after becoming a World Master and possessing the power of the universe origin can they truly be activated.” Babata’s voice sounded in Luo Feng’s mind.
Luo Feng came back to his senses and immediately stored the ‘Void Suppression Cauldron’ into his space ring.
My god!
Just two fifth rank weapons alone had already made him feel completely unable to resist. The legend that once a World Master fought, they could change the heavens and earth, and destroy all life on an entire planet with a single move, was indeed true!
“Little fellow. Those two are only World Master weapons. What I am giving you now is comparable to a World Master’s second life. It contains incomparably pure and miraculous life force. It is a strange spiritual fruit condensed from the universe itself, the Life Fruit!” The white bearded old man’s expression became serious, and a strange semi transparent stone box appeared in his hand.
Inside the semi transparent stone box, a faint green shadow could be seen.
“The Life Fruit is a strange crystallisation of the vast universe, containing unimaginable life force. Even World Masters, who can destroy planets with a wave of their hands and possess endless power within their bodies, can completely recover no matter how much energy they consume or how severe their injuries are, with just one Life Fruit!” The white bearded old man exclaimed endlessly. “Amazing, this is the wonder of the universe!”
Luo Feng held his breath as he accepted the stone box. With a click, the stone box opened.
……
Inside the silent ancient room.
After the stone box opened, everything around it seemed to lose its brilliance. Only the green surface of the Life Fruit, covered with faint water droplets, shone the brightest.
Green light radiated in all directions.
A rich fragrance that made people intoxicated spread out. The entire ancient room was filled with vigorous life force. The core source of all this vitality was that green fruit, the Life Fruit! With just this single fruit, countless World Masters would be willing to exchange an entire galaxy for it!
Extremely rare!
Extremely expensive!
“Suck!” Luo Feng took a deep breath. The fragrance entered his body, and every cell in his body began cheering excitedly, as if they had tasted a heavenly treasure. The genetic material within his cells naturally began changing. The bones throughout his body produced crackling sounds, and his muscles also began transforming.
“Idiot, quickly close it. Once opened, the life force of the Life Fruit will continuously leak away!” Babata shouted angrily.
Luo Feng jolted and immediately regained his senses.
Click!
He quickly closed the stone box.
“Hu, it is too unbelievable.” Luo Feng looked at the stone box with widened eyes. “I only breathed in its scent once or twice, yet I feel like I have already evolved greatly.”
“Idiot, just by breathing in once or twice, you have already lost several hundred breaths of its essence,” Babata said angrily.
Luo Feng happily stored the stone box away.
“Thank you, Lord Wu.” Luo Feng bowed.
“Haha, continue working hard and obtain more Thunder Stones. I have plenty of treasures here for you to exchange for.” The white bearded old man looked at Luo Feng with a smile.
“I will.”
Luo Feng smiled, then turned and left.
He would definitely return! However, that would only happen after the evolution of the Moyun Vine.
