Upon entering this beautiful island, Luo Ao also met another powerful expert known as " Storm King," who was at the King Rank Limit. Afterward, he went directly to his residence.
His residence was already the most luxurious. The island itself covered an area of about 1.3 square kilometers. On the island was an old three-story building, surrounded by ancient carvings and several azure pools of various shapes.
"This is indeed a good place to rest. While we're at it, we should also make a trip to the Hongmeng Alliance and buy a set of ' Golden Armor '."
The Golden Armor is actually an upgraded version of the General Armor — the King Armor. However, even ordinary Universe Venerable cannot damage the King Armor, and fragments are probably very rare. It's unrealistic to collect a set from the Garbage Mountain; the only option is to buy a ready-made one from the Hongmeng Alliance's shop.
The so-called Hongmeng Alliance is an alliance formed primarily by Human Race, uniting a large number of Alien Race!
At the very least, only those with the power of King-level Immortal are qualified to become official members of the ' Hongmeng Alliance '. Even for positions like attendants and servants, various races are vying to send their World Lord and Immortal in...
Although normally one needs to be King Rank to become a formal member, Luo Ao's disguised identity has been recognized by many powerful individuals as being at the King Rank Limit combat strength, so he is naturally qualified to join.
In fact, he had already become a formal member of the Hongmeng Alliance long before he made a name for himself as the ' Asura King '. However, even the envoys who came to invite him were unaware of his true identity.
Therefore, even if someone knows that another powerful King Rank has emerged in the Hongmeng Alliance — the Asura King —no one would know that the Asura King is actually the number one genius in humankind— Luo Ao.
" Abu, teleport to the plane where the Hongmeng Alliance is located."
"Received, Master."
Swish!
His figure vanished into thin air in an instant, teleporting directly to another dimension.
The highest-level plane space in the entire Virtual Universe, and the plane space where the most powerful beings gather, is the Yi Hong Alliance Space.
In the boundless, vast starry sky, surrounded by stars, an ancient and majestic city floats suspended – this is Hongmeng City.
Luo Ao, on the other hand, appeared directly in his own room.
All official members in both the inner and outer city areas of Hongmeng City have the same rooms, with a standard area of 3200 square meters.
Compared to the thousands of square kilometers of the Primal Region manor, this is certainly small, but Hongmeng City is not a place for practicing attacks, but a platform for all the strong to communicate and gather.
Moreover, in Hongmeng City, even the Universe Venerable only maintain the physical qualities of Apprentice Level. Their physical bodies and Origin Force strength are the same; the only difference is their consciousness.
Therefore, as long as one restrains their aura, it becomes impossible to judge the opponent's strength or weakness from their appearance.
In fact, this is the norm in most places in the Virtual Universe.
To prevent fighting among themselves, all humans have identical physical attributes. Only in special settings such as the ' Killing Space ' and the ' Giant Axe Arena ' can people freely unleash their full potential.
"Let's go outside and take a look." Luo Ao transformed his body and appearance into that of the Asura King before stepping outside.
This is a quiet and very large residential area. Although the styles of the houses vary, their sizes are quite similar, with each house being two stories high.
Compared to the small number of Universe Venerable in the inner city, the number of King-level Immortal in the outer city is the largest, exceeding three million.
These more than three million King-level Immortal are distributed in various communities, each of which can accommodate ten thousand residents.
Walking on the streets of the neighborhood, Luo Ao looked up at the sky.
The sky was filled with stars, and each of the brightest stars represented a powerful figure within Hongmeng City.
Not far away, powerful beings from Alien Race would appear from time to time. Some of these beings were rock-based life forms, some were energy-based life forms, and some were even plant-based life forms...
There were all sorts of bizarre and wonderful races, even more than Luo Ao had encountered on the Yanji Continent.
"This Hongmeng Alliance is truly a gathering place for the strong; even the lowest-ranking residents possess the strength to King Rank," Luo Ao thought to himself, continuing forward.
In this city where countless powerful individuals gather, scenes that are rarely seen in ordinary times are commonplace here.
Large-scale spaceship transaction...
Trading plant life and Metal Lifeform...
Hiring the strong...
Special item appraisal service...
Major auction houses...
New types of gambling businesses...
Countless services and activities are available, offering virtually everything imaginable.
Groups of powerful individuals from various races chatted and laughed as they walked through Hongmeng City. Although they came from different ethnic groups, the atmosphere was quite peaceful, which was refreshing.
It's important to understand that even among King Rank experts in the Outer Domain Battlefield, those from different races rarely coexist harmoniously, and it's also rare to see so many King Rank experts.
In Hongmeng City... King Rank experts are everywhere!
Hi, are you new here?
"I've never seen you before. Did you just join the Hongmeng Alliance?"
"Come on, let's have a drink together!"
As Luo Ao walked by, a group of powerful figures greeted him warmly, and Luo Ao returned their greetings in kind.
"There are quite a lot of shops here, all kinds of things." Along the way, Luo Ao also saw many thriving shops, such as Puya Palace, which operates a casino, and Divine Boat Pavilion, which specializes in selling high-end spaceships.
However, even a powerful Invincible King expert like True Yan King cannot open a shop in this outer city area. Only those powerful beings among the Universe Venerable have the opportunity to open shops in this outer city.
Moreover, as long as the shop is open, it will need to continuously pay various taxes and fees to the Hongmeng Alliance.
Of course, the customers of these numerous shops located in Hongmeng City are all people with enormous wealth, and the profits they can obtain are equally astonishing.
"Hmm, I remember ' Golden Armor ' was sold here." Luo Ao stopped next to the Puya Palace, a grand palace with just as much foot traffic as Puya Palace — Universe Treasure Hall.
Universe Treasure Hall is considered the best and largest of all the shops in Hongmeng City. It has two floors, each with a floor area roughly the same as Puya Palace.
Luo Ao entered Universe Treasure Hall and saw a dense array of treasures displayed on the shelves, stretching to the horizon.
Next to each treasure is a blueprint containing a wealth of information, including videos, texts, and illustrations, detailing the treasure's origins, unique features, and selling price.
Luo Ao walked along, browsing the exhibits.
The number of treasures on the first floor of the Universe Treasure Hall alone is in the hundreds of millions.
As for the price, it ranges from millions of Hunyuan Unit to hundreds of billions of Hunyuan Unit.
"Master, there are some precious treasures here that I've never seen even in the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company!" Abu's voice echoed in Luo Ao's mind.
Universe Treasure Hall truly lives up to its reputation as the largest and best shop in Hongmeng City. The sheer number and rarity of its treasures are astounding, with some items not even found in the ' Virtual Universe Company's Treasury,' while others that are present in the Treasury are not available in the Universe Treasure Hall.
"Hmm, these few items are quite interesting." Luo Ao hadn't originally planned to buy anything else, but looking at these countless treasures, he couldn't resist the urge to make a purchase.
"No rush, let's go buy the King Armor first." Luo Ao patiently made his way to the armor section and soon found the King Armor.
"Found it." Luo Ao smiled slightly. In front of him hung a strange golden battle armor that was about eight meters tall.
Although this was created in Virtual Universe, the moment Luo Ao saw this strange golden battle armor, he saw the shadows of ' Soldier Armor ' and ' General Armor '.
Although he was in Virtual Universe and couldn't sense things directly, his intuition told him he had found the right place.
Luo Ao Aolian then looked at the blueprints beside him, which contained detailed pictures, text descriptions, and prices.
"Hmm?" Upon seeing this, a hint of joy appeared on his face. "It seems to be something from the Yan God Race..."
This drawing contains a detailed description.
This Golden Armor was captured during a large-scale inter-clan war in the ancient era of the Outer Domain Battlefield. Its original owner was a powerful and unparalleled King-level expert of the Yan God Race King Rank Limit, who had killed dozens of King Rank opponents... Later, he was killed by Universe Venerable in a large-scale war!
The powerful Yan God Race King Rank was annihilated by the Universe Venerable. He was reduced to ashes and died. However, the Golden Armor he wore was completely undamaged, which surprised everyone and made them think it was a powerful and mysterious treasure.
Its material is so fine that even Universe Venerable would have to attack it seriously before a tiny crack would appear.
Furthermore, experiments have revealed that even if it cannot be refined, simply wearing this Golden Armor will reduce Soul Attack by over 90% once they pass through it! Physical attacks will also have their impact reduced by over 90% when they strike the Golden Armor!
It can weaken even soul and physical attacks... This Golden Armor is a treasure, priceless!
However, the Golden Armor also has an obvious flaw: it cannot change its size!
It cannot be integrated into the body! And there is a gap in the face.
The inability to change size is fatal. Altering one's own divine body size to adapt to the armor's size would greatly affect one's strength. It's possible that one who could have faced an equally matched enemy would be suppressed after wearing this armor.
As for the gap in the face, that's even more fatal. Unless you can equip yourself with an equally magical mask, the gap in the face is a fatal 'Achilles' heel'.
In fact, this ' Golden Armor ' has already ruined many owners, but its price has never changed—5 billion Hunyuan Unit per set.
With such an exorbitant price, almost no one could afford it except for those King-level Immortal. However, everyone knew the flaws of this item, so naturally no one was fooled anymore.
Therefore, this originally extremely valuable Golden Armor gradually became unwanted.
Today, it is finally going to have a new owner.
"Someone come here!" Luo Ao immediately summoned a waiter.
"What would you like to buy, sir?" A waiter in a white robe immediately approached.
"This Golden Armor is quite unique; I intend to buy it," Luo Ao said directly.
"You want to buy this Golden Armor?" The white-robed waiter stared wide-eyed in disbelief. This golden Golden Armor had been on display for who knows how long but had never sold. Some people within the Universe Treasure Hall had long suggested that the Golden Armor be removed or the price lowered, but the suggestions had never been successful. The Golden Armor had remained there, and the price had been fixed at 5 billion Hunyuan Unit for a long time.
I never expected to actually run into such a sucker today.
"Please wait a moment, guest," the white-robed waiter said, while calling over the manager of the first floor of the Universe Treasure Hall, a slender human woman with golden curly hair and three star marks on her sleeve.
This is a three-star powerhouse, meaning the other party is a King Rank Limit. Of course, Luo Ao is also a three-star member now.
The blonde woman smiled at Luo Ao and said, "Let's talk inside."
Luo Ao nodded and entered a hall at the back of the shop. Only Luo Ao and the blonde woman were in the hall, sitting opposite each other.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Can Xin King, and I am the deputy head of the Universe Treasure Hall," the blonde woman said.
Luo Ao simply nodded without saying a word.
"It's rare to find someone interested in buying this Golden Armor," the blonde woman chuckled. "But I advise you, none of those who have ever purchased this Golden Armor in history have gained much benefit. 5 billion Hunyuan Unit is no small sum..."
Luo Ao nodded.
He is quite wealthy now, but his liquid assets are only a few hundred billion Hunyuan. 5 billion is indeed not cheap. However, none of the shortcomings of this King Armor exist in his Flame God Race Clone.
Unable to integrate into the body? Unable to change size?
His Yan God Race Clone could naturally be integrated into his body, and once integrated, it could naturally change at will. At the same time, the mask part could automatically extend out without any gaps.
Wearing this set of King Armor is far safer than wearing a set of Heavy Treasure Armor. Especially since he is currently only a World Lord, the basic power enhanced by the King Armor is also crucial, allowing him to significantly bridge the biggest gap between himself and Immortal Expert.
"I'm sure I'll buy it," Luo Ao said again.
"Alright, here is the purchase agreement," the blonde woman said. "It will be supervised by the Virtual Universe System. Both parties will sign it. After signing, you, the customer, will directly transfer the funds to my Universe Treasure Hall. If my Universe Treasure Hall fails to deliver the treasure to you, the funds will be returned, and we are willing to compensate you tenfold."
Luo Ao and the blonde woman signed the agreement.
Luo Ao also directly transferred 5 billion Hunyuan Unit to the ' Universe Treasure Hall ' master account.
After the transaction was completed, Luo Ao went elsewhere to deal with his spoils.
He killed many powerful King Rank, so his true wealth was naturally more than a few hundred billion Hunyuan Unit. However, most of his wealth consisted of physical items such as weapons, equipment, and spaceships, which he needed to sell to generate cash flow.
