Treasure Vault

After agreeing, Old Wang didn't say much more to the old silver coin, but instead set off back to his home in Black Cloud City.

"Grown ups!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he found that the Cyclops's men were all waiting for him, which touched him quite a bit.

"Yes, everyone go back and rest! Priest, come with me, I have some things I want to know!" Old Wang said.

"Yes!"

After the Cyclops dispersed, Old Wang and the priest found a rugged pavilion and sat down.

He knew nothing about this so-called Battle of Ten Thousand Domains, so of course he had to ask someone.

Old Wang cut to the chase and asked, "Have you heard of the Battle of Ten Thousand Domains?"

"The Battle of Ten Thousand Domains hasn't even begun yet?"

The City Lord doesn't want you to go, does he? He wants you to go and die!

Upon hearing this, the Cyclops stood up abruptly and said to Old Wang in a panic.

"Don't get excited, speak slowly!" Old Wang said.

"Alas~ Do you remember when I told you about how our clan's elders all died on the battlefield? This war is Battle of Ten Thousand Domains!"

"In fact, hundreds of years ago, being able to participate in the Battle of Ten Thousand Domains, which took place every ten years, was an honor for all warriors."

Therefore, although only five people are required to participate in each Battle of Ten Thousand Domains, many people actually go each time.

Even in Black Cloud City, only a few powerful races are Legendary who could participate in the Battle of Ten Thousand Domains.

"But starting from our ancestors, for some reason, not a single warrior who went to the Battle of Ten Thousand Domains has ever returned!" the Cyclops priest said coldly.

"Not a single one alive? How did they notify you to participate in the competition?" Old Wang asked.

Cyclops Priest: "..."

Is this the crux of the problem?

"They were notified via the Time Mirror, but that's not important. What's important is why they were killed."

At first, the people of Black Cloud City thought they had encountered a natural disaster or had been wiped out by some powerful creature.

But when the investigators returned, everyone learned that their Black Cloud City's backer, the Second Demon God, had somehow offended other Demon God.

They were wiped out by the combined forces of other Demon God's subordinates during the Battle of Ten Thousand Domains!

This was just the beginning of the nightmare; from then on, not a single one of their people returned alive.

"Therefore, the Battle of Ten Thousand Domains has now become Nightmare for every Legendary in Black Cloud City, because ten years is simply not enough for any race to become Legendary!" the Cyclops continued to explain.

"Hui Hui was destroyed by the regiment, why did he still send people there? Because what kind of disaster would it be to destroy the city?" Lao Wang asked doubtfully.

"Yes! Actually, the environment of the Black Cloud Domain wasn't originally this harsh, and the Endless Mountains were rich in resources."

However, on one occasion, Black Cloud Domain Blackwater Domain, a neighboring Star Domain, was punished by the Second Demon God for not sending anyone there.

I will never forget that day, that impact that came from the sky, that instantly evaporated the entire Blackwater Domain.

Then we were also affected; after the earth's ley lines were severed, we ended up like this..."

Old Wang was at a loss for words upon hearing this. He had seen the map of the entire Black Cloud Domain before, and its area was estimated to be as large as Earth Star itself.

The fact that such an area could be destroyed in a single blow by a "person" and even affect the surrounding area suggests that this "person's" strength is probably comparable to Ye Wuyou's.

He shouldn't be stronger than Ye Wuyou. Ye Wuyou's attack shattered his own Epic Core Heart, while this "person"'s attack seemed more like a casual strike.

"This is troublesome! No wonder Black Cloud City is so enthusiastic about the Legendary, giving out houses and land."

And that Black Cloud City Lord was clearly being overly enthusiastic; it turns out he was waiting here all along.

The Cyclops probably knew this too, but they certainly didn't expect to be among the next batch of participants!

After learning about this situation, Old Wang thought to himself that he couldn't handle such an enemy.

"Alright, I understand. By the way, take these two things and see if they are the Legend Heart Core you mentioned!" Old Wang handed the crystals left behind by Still Tiger and Shadow Mouse after their deaths to the Cyclops priest.

He once asked it how the Cyclops should break the Legendary.

It said that besides cultivating themselves, they only have one method used by all races: seizing the core of another's Legendary.

However, this method has a very serious drawback: if you use someone else's Legendary core to break through to Legendary, you will never be able to surpass the core's original owner in this lifetime.

In other words, having used the core of the Still Tiger, one can only Legendary third tier in this lifetime.

However, even with these side effects, the Legend Heart Core is said to be extremely rare and hard to come by.

First of all, Legendary experts are not so easy to kill. The only ones who can kill Legendary are also Legendary. If you are not a Legendary, you may not even be able to break through their domain.

Secondly, according to common Legendary, when someone is fighting desperately, they will burn their Core Heart, so that if you kill them, you will leave nothing behind.

Only someone like Old Wang, who can kill instantly, can leave behind Core Heart.

Generally, large clans rarely use this item; they can understand why they would use Legendary, even if it limits their future development.

But these great races definitely do not include the Cyclops of today; they are already at their wits' end and don't care about such things anymore.

Even if those two Legendary were to die 10 years from now, they would still have to use this Core Heart, otherwise their death would be the moment Old Wang left Black Cloud City.

With these two Legendary, they had hope. As long as they hid in the Endless Mountains after Old Wang left, no one could do anything to them.

So the priest tremblingly accepted the Core Heart, then knelt down and kowtowed to Old Wang.

Old Wang didn't dodge; he deserved it. He was truly worried sick about the Cyclops.

"Alright! Get up!"

"Yes!"

The next day

Old Wang, at the invitation of the Black Cloud City Black Cloud City Lord to select treasures.

He saw the other four Legendary who had gone with him. These Legendary all had a faint aura and shared a common characteristic: they were all first-tier Legendary.

These must all be Legendary of breakthroughs Core Heart. Old Wang turned to look at the Black Cloud City Lord, who immediately shifted his gaze.

Judging from these Legendary, Still Tiger and Shadow Mouse are clearly not contestants; this guy tricked them!

However, these things didn't matter to Old Wang anyway, since he was going to leave Black Cloud City anyway, and this opportunity was perfect.

Black Cloud City is too small; it has nothing that could help with returning to the Universe. Old Wang needs to look for opportunities in a wider territory.

However, this doesn't mean he can be tricked for nothing. If he doesn't make it pay a price, it would be a disservice to his Position as the Alliance Chair.

Old Wang, pondering these things, entered the treasure vault with several Legendary.

Those few clearly had their own goals, and as soon as they entered the treasure vault, they went straight for their target items.

Old Wang, on the other hand, seemed unhurried. Since they hadn't set a time limit, why rush?

"This treasure vault isn't all that great! There aren't even many Legendary items, let alone Epic ones!" Old Wang exclaimed loudly, looking at the items around him.

He was speaking to outsiders, so he used the Abyssal Language.

The Black Cloud City Lord's expression remained unchanged upon hearing his words. If it were hundreds of years ago, he might have changed his expression, but now he knew that what the other party said was true.

Especially since the other party comes from the Elemental Domain, one of the strongest domains, it's perfectly normal for them to look down on their things.

Besides, the things here aren't his; he didn't see any good stuff.

"This is so boring!" Old Wang said, seeing that it didn't react at all.

Then Old Wang began to look through the treasure vault. Judging from the treasure vault of Black Cloud City had indeed fallen into decline.

However, as he looked around, something caught his eye: a statue over three meters tall, which looked like a figurine in front of the Lord of the Elements.

This item is only a Perfect item, but what attracted Old Wang was not its grade but its subject matter.

The statue depicts a figure, and perhaps due to its great age, the figure's sharp edges have been worn away, but the crown worn on its head is still clearly visible.

Old Wang knows this thing all too well; isn't this his Elemental Crown?

Old Wang didn't hesitate when he saw this. Was there even a need to choose? Of course, he'd pick it directly.

When Old Wang took the statue in his hands, everyone was surprised, because they didn't expect Old Wang to choose something that seemed completely useless.

"I've made my choice, so I'll head back now. Call me when it's time to leave!" Old Wang said before walking towards his residence, completely ignoring whether they had any other plans.

The Black Cloud City Lord and the others didn't stop him. As long as he didn't run away, he was already a dead man. Why should they bother with a dead man?

"Now that you've all made your selections, go back. Please don't wander around for a while, lest someone misunderstand!"

After the Black Cloud City Lord finished speaking, he left, and the four Legendary lowered their heads even further.
