"Do you understand?" Chaos City Lord asked, staring into the eyes of Qin Cang.

Qin Cang knew that this was the City Lord's final question and instruction.

"This disciple understands. Once I go, I will make the alien races tremble with fear. Once I become an Immortal, or even a Venerable, I will certainly slay several of the alien races' top Universe Overlords. This is my promise," Qin Cang said firmly.

As a transmigrator, even without having read the original work, the experiences of his past life alone made one thing clear to Qin Cang: "Those who are not of my kin will surely have different hearts."

In the wars between races, there is no such thing as right or wrong, only the helpless choices made for the sake of survival and heritage. A reincarnation era lasts for ten trillion epochs; expansion, conquest, and slaughter are the eternal themes. In such a universe, a "saint" is the first to die.

Currently, Qin Cang's enemies are the alien races, but in his very first training, the first life Qin Cang killed with his own hands was a human.

To cultivate Qin Cang's killing intent, Marquis Yanxing had truly found a whole planet of outlaws, exotic beasts, and the like, placing Qin Cang in the center and not considering the task complete until he had fought his way through the entire encirclement.

Of course, it could also be said that in reality, Marquis Yanxing simply could not find any enemies of the same level who could put pressure on Qin Cang, which is why he thought of the group-fighting method.

"Good, that statement is enough. Go to the Outer-Region Battlefield and make the alien races tremble; that is what a human genius should do. Remember your words. I will give you one more promise: if you can kill a top Universe Overlord of an alien race within one hundred thousand epochs, I will personally apply for a reward for you." Chaos City Lord was very satisfied with Qin Cang's answer and looked forward to his promise, though he added a time limit.

One hundred thousand epochs, which is one billion years, is not a long time for a Universe Venerable, let alone a Universe Master. It is rare enough to become a Universe Overlord within this timeframe; if Qin Cang could truly kill a top Universe Overlord in such a short time, no one would dare to say anything even if he applied for a reward for him.

It can only be said that the human race, and indeed the universe, has not yet experienced the shock brought by Luo Feng, and does not understand how terrifying a true genius can be.

"Qin Cang, after you successfully gestated the Sky Canopy Python clone, I applied for two treasures on behalf of the race for you. Of course, depending on your different plans, only one could be bestowed upon you. Now, as you are about to leave, I think it is time to give you this treasure. This treasure is extremely suitable for you to fight in the Outer-Region Battlefield."

With a wave of Chaos City Lord's hand, a suit of armor appeared out of thin air in front of Qin Cang.

The armor consisted of three parts: the cuirass, the wings, and the dual claws. The cuirass was dark gold, covered with dark red patterns spreading from the chest to the entire body. The wings seemed to be burning with an eternal, inextinguishable crimson divine fire, quietly covering the back of the armor. The final dual claws also emitted a rich aura of the Law of Fire, and their sharpness was such that even the current Qin Cang could annihilate the divine body of an Immortal god with a single strike.

"This treasure is called the Huangyan Battle Armor. It is a top-tier Heavy Treasure set consisting of three parts: the Huangyan Armor, the Huangyan Divine Wings, and the Huangyan Claw. The combination of the three greatly increases their power and is extremely suitable for you right now.

With this treasure, you can balance attack, escape, and defense. If this Huangyan Battle Armor were to appear in a Universe Secret Region, it would not be strange at all if several Universe Venerables died for it. Therefore, you must never reveal the value of this treasure, otherwise, there will definitely be powerhouses who will ignore the rules and attack you.

Of course, no one has seen this treasure yet, so you don't have to worry about its value being leaked the moment you take it out. It can still be used freely at this stage. Later, I will give you a manual so you will know the uses of this item. Of course, how to develop its greater value is up to you," Chaos City Lord introduced.

A top-tier Heavy Treasure set!

Qin Cang could hardly believe it. The City Lord was truly worthy of being a fifth-order Universe Master and the number two figure of the human race at this stage; he bestowed a top-tier Heavy Treasure set right off the bat!

It could be said that although the resources Qin Cang had consumed previously were numerous, they were far from comparable to the value of this Huangyan Battle Armor; they didn't even amount to a fraction of it.

Of course, the value of the Sky Canopy Python blood and the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead was not included, as these things could not be measured by money; it purely depended on the operator's level of usage. If Qin Cang successfully became a top Universe Overlord or even a Universe Master, the value of those two items would far exceed that of the Huangyan Battle Armor.

But at the current stage, the value of the Huangyan Battle Armor was clearly the highest.

After receiving the Huangyan Battle Armor, Qin Cang returned to his residence in Chaos City.

Following the methods taught in the manual, Qin Cang successfully imprinted his spiritual mark on the Huangyan Battle Armor. In other words, this top-tier Heavy Treasure belonged to Qin Cang from then on.

The Huangyan Armor and the Huangyan Divine Wings both had two forms, meaning that even taken individually, these two items were at the level of top-tier Heavy Treasures.

The first form of the Huangyan Armor could be activated at the World Lord level and could be mastered by Qin Cang with his current strength.

After activating this form, not only could it reduce physical damage received to one percent, but most importantly, it could reduce soul attacks to one-tenth!

Reducing soul attacks—Qin Cang estimated that this was the reason the race chose to bestow this treasure upon him. After all, his biggest weakness at this stage was soul defense, and with this Huangyan Armor protecting him, combined with his peak Marquis-level willpower, almost no one could instantly enslave him during the Immortal stage.

As for those who could achieve instant enslavement, perhaps only the most top-tier soul masters at the limit of King-level in the entire Outer-Region Battlefield could do so, and he only needed to avoid the activity range of these King-level limits beforehand.

Without the General Armor for protection, Qin Cang would not be foolish enough to learn from Luo Feng and go off to compete with those King-level limits while only at the World Lord level. That might be possible for Luo Feng, but for any other World Lord, it was almost suicide, unless they were some kind of extremely heaven-defying special life form.

Of course, what surprised Qin Cang was whether the defense limit of this Huangyan Battle Armor was too low?

The first form could only resist attacks below the Venerable level at most. If an attack reached the Venerable level, it would exceed the defense limit, and the reduction effect on the attack would be greatly diminished.

For a dignified top-tier Heavy Treasure, even in its first form, it shouldn't be unable to defend against a Venerable's attack.

However, Qin Cang soon realized the preciousness of this armor.

The most important function of the Huangyan Battle Armor was not defense, but disguise!

That's right, wearing the Huangyan Battle Armor allowed one to simulate the aura of an Immortal. To powerhouses below the level of a high-level Venerable, they would absolutely not be able to see that the user was merely a World Lord; they would only see him as an Immortal.

"Looking at it this way, this Huangyan Battle Armor is tailor-made for my Sky Canopy Python clone. In the future, if I disguise the Sky Canopy Python clone as an Immortal, whenever a strong enemy appears and I use the Sky Canopy Python clone to fight, they will almost certainly mistake it for my servant," Qin Cang laughed.

The ability to have clones is already extremely rare, especially for a race like the humans, where the ability to have clones is rare among the rare. Furthermore, the Sky Canopy Python had only appeared in the universe once in endless ages. Most of the powerhouses still alive today who recognize the identity of this python are old antiques at the level of Venerables or even Universe Masters, and they would not appear in the Outer-Region Battlefield.

Moreover, a human with the ability to have clones, and a heaven-defying special life form clone—with so many factors combined, who would ever suspect that this was one person?
