Shopping, Preparing to Head to the Outer Domain Battlefield

Yan Ning returned to Golden Feather Venerable's palace and found his teacher standing in the courtyard before the hall, back turned to him, gazing up at the threads of law in the nascent universe.

"Back?"

Golden Feather Venerable asked without turning around, his voice carrying a hint of ease.

"Yes, teacher."

Yan Ning bowed respectfully, then spoke with a smile.

"It seems the City Lord took quite an interest in me."

"Hahaha!"

Golden Feather Venerable suddenly spun around, laughter booming, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"Do you have any idea, boy? Chaos City Lord hasn't summoned anyone below the King level for a private audience in thirty million years!"

Yan Ning was taken aback: "This..."

"What does that tell you?"

Golden Feather Venerable clapped Yan Ning firmly on the shoulder.

"It tells me that even Chaos City Lord has taken notice of your potential!"

His eyes gleamed sharply as he suddenly lowered his voice: "Did the City Lord mention... taking you as a disciple?"

Yan Ning quickly shook his head: "No, the City Lord only offered a few words of encouragement, telling me to cultivate well."

"Hmm..."

Golden Feather Venerable nodded thoughtfully.

"That makes sense. Given your situation, he probably needs more time to observe. But still."

He suddenly smiled mysteriously, waving his right hand. A suit of golden battle armor, its surface flowing with strange secret patterns, materialized out of thin air, hovering between them.

The armor exuded a suffocating pressure, making the surrounding air feel thick and viscous.

Yan Ning's pupils contracted sharply: "This is... a King Armor?!"

As a genius of the Yan God Clan, he recognized the equipment at a glance.

It was a King Armor, a rarity even among the Yan God Clan.

He never expected his teacher to possess one.

"Correct!"

Golden Feather Venerable watched his disciple's shocked expression with satisfaction.

"This is indeed a King Armor unique to your Yan God Clan! When the Yan God Clan rebelled and fled, humanity seized a few sets. This one, your teacher prepared especially for you."

Yan Ning's breathing grew rapid. In the original owner's memories, Yan God Clan battle armor was divided into four grades: Soldier Armor, General Armor, King Armor, and Emperor Armor.

A King Armor was an extremely precious treasure even within the entire Yan God Clan, capable of amplifying the user's power by an astonishing one hundred thousand times the peak power of a Sector Lord!

That was equivalent to an ordinary King limit!

"Teacher, thank you."

Yan Ning didn't hesitate and accepted it directly. This King Armor could only be used by the Yan God Clan or the Earthlings lineage.

Of course, if one had cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex, they could also use it.

But the current human race clearly had no Earthlings lineage yet. That meant he was the only one who could wield this King Armor.

Golden Feather Venerable waved his hand.

"Enough. This thing is useless to anyone except your Yan God Clan, and you are the only Yan God Clan member in the human race qualified to use it!"

Yan Ning took the King Armor. The moment his fingertips touched it, the armor dissolved into countless golden specks of light, covering his entire body like living things.

"Boom--"

A vast surge of power erupted from the armor, perfectly merging with his divine body.

Yan Ning could feel every cell in his body cheering and rejoicing, as if this armor had been born for him!

"How does it feel?"

Golden Feather Venerable asked with a smile.

Yan Ning clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within, his eyes blazing with sharp light: "Incredibly strong. Right now, I'm confident I can kill a King limit powerhouse!"

His current gene level was 4,800 times. His original divine body was roughly 48,000 times the peak power of a Sector Lord. Now it had multiplied a hundredfold.

That was 4.8 million times. Adding the King Armor's amplification of one hundred thousand times!

The total was 4.9 million times the peak power of a Sector Lord. Paired with the divine body amplification secret technique he cultivated, the Yan God Transformation, the first layer could amplify it twofold!

Once activated, he would reach 9.8 million times the peak power of a Sector Lord.

An ordinary King limit was merely one hundred thousand times. Unless they triggered divine body combustion, they would be no match for him.

Moreover, his current divine body was a full five kilometers tall!

Yes, exactly five thousand meters tall!

A divine body of such immense size also possesses far greater divine power reserves than an ordinary Immortal.

Even against a true Invincible King, he could still put up a fight!

"Good!"

Golden Feather Venerable nodded with satisfaction.

"In the coming days, you will cultivate quietly in Chaos City for a while, familiarize yourself with your current power, strive for another breakthrough, and then go out to handle your affairs. Understood?"

Yan Ning nodded.

"Disciple understands."

His most pressing concern right now was not actually familiarizing himself with his power.

What he cared about most was the check-in system.

Ever since entering Chaos City, he hadn't had a single moment of rest. Now that he had some free time, he needed to find a place to study it first.

Yan Ning arrived at the temporary residence assigned to him in Chaos City—an ancient stone hall.

The furnishings inside were simple, yet they contained dense cosmic energy, and the walls were covered with traces of law insights left by past residents.

"Finally, I can study the system in peace."

He sat cross-legged in the center of the cultivation room, focused his mind, and summoned the system interface.

code
[Host: Yan Ning]
[Gene Multiplier: 4800x]
[Current Check-in Type: Mission Check-in (Switchable)]
[Available Mission: Kill ten thousand Immortals (0/10000)]
[Reward: Unknown]

"Kill ten thousand Immortals?"

Yan Ning frowned slightly.

"This mission isn't easy, but for me at my current level, it's not too difficult either. It's still doable."

He continued examining the system.

After some research, he learned that the check-in system was divided into three types.

1. Mission Check-in: The host must complete a designated mission and can choose whether to accept it. 2. Location Check-in: Automatically triggered at specific locations. 3. Random Check-in: Appears completely at random.

"It looks like I need to complete this kill mission first."

Yan Ning pondered.

The other two missions were somewhat random; only this mission check-in was clear-cut.

"Still, with my current strength, hunting Immortals in the outer domain battlefield won't be hard."

Before setting out for the outer domain battlefield, he also needed to upgrade his equipment.

Yan Ning sank his consciousness into the virtual universe and accessed the purchasing interface of the Virtual Universe Company.

A dazzling array of weapon lists appeared before his eyes, momentarily overwhelming him.

"G-grade weapons... F-grade... E-grade..."

He quickly filtered the results, narrowing his search to G-grade weapons.

Although his current finances couldn't afford higher-grade weapons, G-grade was more than enough for use in the outer domain battlefield.

"Fire-type... Space-type... Preferably both."

His fingers slid through the void, and holographic projections of various weapons spun and displayed before him.

Finally, a crimson warblade with flame patterns coiling around its blade caught his attention.

Flame Shadow Warblade, five hundred thousand mixed-element units. Bought.

Besides the warblade, Yan Ning also purchased a detector.

With a detection radius of ten billion kilometers, it cost ten million mixed-element units.

It was an excellent detector, more than sufficient.

After sleeping for so many years, his savings weren't exactly abundant. After buying these items, he had only 160,000 mixed-element units left.

For someone like him, that was truly poor.

Still, money could be earned again. With his current strength, making money was no big deal.

With these purchases, he had effectively spent the entire wealth of an ordinary Marquis-level Immortal.
