Leaving Black Cloud City
Old Wang didn't know the whole story or the messy details.
He is currently examining the six Epic Gem of the Black Cloud City Lord to see if he shares the same thoughts as him.
After confirming that they were all Epic items, his wish had been fulfilled. These were exactly what he needed, and even the other Epic Material he was missing were here.
Looking around the room, Old Wang knew his plan to teach the Black Cloud City Lord a lesson was on track.
This is truly heavenly, yet you choose not to walk! So you really love collecting treasures, huh? I'll give you a big surprise later.
However, there were still some things he needed to confirm, namely, whether this person was knowledgeable and understood those matters.
"These materials are fine, but they're a bit pricey. I still want them all, though. I need to sort through my spatial equipment to see if I have enough to cover the cost!"
As he spoke, Old Wang arrived at an open space and began taking things out of his Spatial Backpack.
At first, there were just piles of Normal materials, Black Cloud City Lord didn't pay much attention to. Although there was a considerable amount of these things, they weren't worth much money.
Then came piles of Legendary materials. Although the residents of Black Cloud City were somewhat surprised, they didn't take it too seriously.
Then came piles and piles of Epic treasures. Upon seeing this, the Black Cloud City Lord could no longer sit still. There were over a hundred Epic treasures on display, and he recognized only a portion of them.
These things are all real, because the Black Cloud City Lord can clearly sense the surging energy contained within them; there's no way they can be faked.
Old Wang's wealth exceeded his expectations, which also made him feel a little regretful.
It has already offended Old Wang badly; otherwise, if it had tried to curry favor with him, it might have been able to get one or two Epic treasures.
It originally thought that Old Wang had taken out all the treasures, but Old Wang took out a crystal that shone with seven-colored light.
"How is this possible... this radiance is..."
Mythic!!!"
The Black Cloud City Lord stood up and said in disbelief, "I've got this!" Old Wang smiled slightly upon hearing this, then pretended to be "very nervous" as he put the item away, thinking to himself, "It's safe!"
"Mythic? What Mythic?" Old Wang asked, feigning nervousness.
"Mr. Jin, can we talk?" After weighing his options, the Black Cloud City Lord asked with a fawning expression.
He was weighing the possibility of killing the person, but the opponent was strong, and he wasn't confident he could kill him silently.
If it causes any trouble, it will be impeached. Over the years, those people have already uncovered some Spider Silk.
If it is impeached, it will surely pass unanimously; it doesn't want to lose its position as City Lord.
Because if it loses this position, it won't be able to protect these treasures; people will die.
"Talk? Talk about what?" Old Wang asked.
"I only want that one item from before, and I'll give you all six gems!" Black Cloud City Lord.
"Since you've said that, it proves you know about this thing. Do you think I would do that?"
"This is Mythic! You're giving me six Elemental Gem? Do you think I'm stupid?" Old Wang said.
"I know this is Mythic Item, but yours is only useful to Legendary High-Tier. Who knows when you'll be able to use it?"
And don't forget, in this competition, if you lose your life, no magical artifact will be of any use.
The Demon God who can protect you don't need these things; only people like us would use them to gamble on a vague dream of becoming a god!
And if you don't change it, Black Cloud City might... You should think about it carefully!
The Black Cloud City Lord said, his words revealing a great deal of information and carrying a strong sense of threat.
"But six Elemental Gem are indeed a bit..." Old Wang said, feigning hesitation.
"This is just my asking price. You can negotiate. Isn't it normal to ask for an exorbitant price and then haggle over it?" the Black Cloud City Lord said, sounding like a very dedicated businessman.
"Then... I want 20 Epic items..."
"Deal! I'll take you to choose one right now!"
Old Wang: "..."
Damn it, even if the thing he had was fake, Old Wang still felt like he'd been cheated!
This is so realistic, it's amazing!
Being City Lord was beneath him; if he were a merchant, he would be incredibly wealthy by now.
However, Old Wang didn't say anything more. He chose to stop while he was ahead, since only he knew what this thing was.
He was also afraid that the cooked duck would fly away!
After selecting 20 Epic treasures he wanted, Old Wang somewhat "reluctantly" opted for a cash-on-delivery transaction.
Then he left the City Lord's treasury with the items, leaving behind the Black Cloud City Lord, who stared in fascination at the treasure in his hand.
After Old Wang left the City Lord's Manor with his belongings, his pace quickened considerably.
The reason for this might be the excitement surrounding the upcoming release of Mythic Equipment, or perhaps there are other reasons as well...
A few days later
Led by two established lower-ranking Legendary, the Cyclops Clan retreated into the Endless Mountains.
Although the City Lord assured Old Wang that they would not persecute the Cyclops Clan after he left.
But its words are practically worthless; Old Wang and the Cyclops certainly wouldn't believe them.
The Cyclops' departure prompted the City Lord to station a large number of men outside Old Wang's residence and to seal off the area.
This was already an open secret. This behavior continued until a spaceship about the size of Galaxy-Class Starship suddenly appeared in the sky above Black Cloud City. It only stopped after Old Wang and the four newly Legendary boarded the ship.
This is a real "spaceship" because it is shaped like a flying ship, and it is a very old wooden sailing ship.
However, judging from the dense Magic Array on the ship's hull, it is clearly a magical ship, not a technological one, so its appearance is meaningless.
With so many Magic Array, even if you tattooed them onto a pig, it could fly into the sky and become a boat.
"And they're all Legendary Tier 1. How many years has it been since your Second Demon God's forces achieved any good results? What good results can you expect from sending only Legendary Tier 1 troops?"
As the group boarded the ship, the person in charge of receiving them spoke.
Its words were meant to Taunt the Black Cloud City Lord, but it was unaware of the Black Cloud City Lord's happiness, so the Black Cloud City Lord didn't care at all.
This made it feel bored, so it turned its attention to the contestants.
Then they discovered Old Wang, this "Gold Element," and that he was a mutated individual, which really surprised them.
"You even send people like this out? Impressive! No wonder you were once among the top ten regions. You still have such strength after one blow after another!" it exclaimed "sincerely".
But the Black Cloud City Lord remained silent; the more you pay attention to this kind of person, the more excited he becomes.
After sending the group onto the ship, it left immediately, and the ship didn't linger, taking off soon after.
The ship Old Wang boarded was called the Cross-Domain Flying Boat. It was very fast, even faster than the Alliance's Starship.
It would take hundreds of years to travel from the Black Cloud Domain to the Elemental Domain using the Black Cloud City's Flying Boat, but only half a year using this Demon Temple's Cross-Domain Flying Boat, because it uses curved flight.
Three days after Old Wang and his group left Black Cloud City, the Black Cloud City Lord was studying the "Mythic Item" he had obtained from Old Wang.
It had made up its mind to draw energy from it, wanting to see if this thing could directly help it advance to the Ethereal Epic Rank.
Logically, it should be more reliable to use it at the Legendary Ninth Rank, but it simply couldn't wait.
However, it had barely begun to extract the energy from it when it immediately sensed something was wrong. It tried to drop the thing and escape using Space Leap, but it was too late.
A surge of Rampaging Elemental Energy erupted from the cube-shaped gem in its hand, instantly leveling the entire City Lord's Manor to the ground.
Standing at the very center of the explosion, he unleashed his full defensive power, but it proved insufficient against the Rampage elemental forces.
After the Elemental Power destroyed the City Lord's Manor, it was unable to spread further because it triggered the City Lord's Manor's special defensive array.
Instead, it strangely began to erupt upwards, a seven-colored beam of light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire Black Cloud City with elemental light.
The entire city trembled as they watched the Elemental Beam, which resembled divine punishment.
The elemental beam stopped growing taller only after hitting the center of the black cloud above Black Cloud City, and countless Black Cloud Bat were vaporized by the beam.
After the sound of shattering glass echoed through the city, the old Legendary of Black Cloud City felt a chill run down their spines.
After the rays dissipated, the scene they least wanted to see happened: the barrier above Black Cloud City that imprisoned the giant Bat Matriarch shattered.
After the mother broke free of the seal, she immediately disappeared into the sky. Even when several Legendary attacked together, they couldn't capture her.
"A disaster is about to destroy the city! Everyone, prepare to move!"
