The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 292 The Town of Northern Gray Clothes
Wushan area.

Above a vast wasteland, a large flying transport vehicle made of C6-grade alloy sped along. Even several lord-level flying monsters, whose speed reached the speed of sound, were in hot pursuit but could not keep up with the speed of this large flying transport vehicle and were visibly being left further and further behind.

Inside the transport vehicle, a group of young men and women dressed in black with white skull markings on their shoulders watched the flying monster being thrown off course with great excitement.

"It truly lives up to its reputation as a large flying transport vehicle made of C6-grade alloy. Even a high-level lord's flying monster can't catch up with it. I wonder when I'll be able to have one myself." A young demon in his early twenties, with mid-stage Bone Forging Realm strength, couldn't help but gleam in his eyes as he looked at the flying transport vehicle.

"What are you thinking? This is a C6-class large flying transport vehicle. Only Seven Guardians like Lord Moxiao are qualified to use it. You newbies should think about how to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm before considering anything else." A lizardman in his early thirties with dark green skin glared at the restless newbies, instantly silencing them.

As this scene unfolded, Isaac, sitting in a corner of the carriage, watched quietly, his eyes filled with relief, realizing that his initial choice had indeed been the right one.

As one of the three most formidable entities in the Fog Mountain region, the Smiling Skull possesses a level of power that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Even though he had officially joined, all he knew was a portion of the Smiling Skull's strength.

He was currently traveling to Crimson Moon Town with the Smiling Skull's team. This time, they were accompanied not only by the three logistics squads, but also by a group of newly selected geniuses from the Smiling Skull.

These fifty talented newcomers each possessed strength at the mid-stage of the Bone Forging Realm or higher, and they were just one class selected by the Smiling Skull today.

As for the class teacher, he was a lizardman whose strength was even greater than that of the city lord of the City of Light. His strength had reached the middle stage of the Blood Condensation Realm, and he was a super genius trained by the Smiling Skull. Even the veteran city lords of the Fog Mountain region would probably not be his match, but in the Smiling Skull, he was just a class teacher.

The leader of this team is none other than Mo Xiao, one of the Seven Guardians within the Smiling Skull organization, a super expert who is only one step away from the legendary Celestial Realm.

Looking at the team, Isaac couldn't help but smile.

Because he truly did not expect that the auction held by the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy would prompt the Smiling Skull to send such a high-ranking figure. This was hardly a bidding for the guard robot; it would have been more than enough to wipe out Crimson Moon Town.

If Smiling Skull destroys Crimson Moon Town this time, he will have the opportunity to uncover the secrets of Crimson Moon Mountain. At that time, he can continuously improve his strength and status under Smiling Skull, which is far more promising than his original plan to become a city lord.

After the large flying transport vehicle crossed the wasteland, it soon arrived at a dense forest. In just over ten minutes, Isaac saw the familiar scenery.

Chiyue Mountain!
This is the place he had secretly cultivated for many years.

"This is... Crimson Moon Mountain?" Isaac stared at Crimson Moon Mountain outside the window, hardly believing his eyes.

The Crimson Moon Mountain at this time had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to when he left the City of Light.

Previously, Crimson Moon Mountain was just a barren peak, but now it has not only had most of its body hollowed out, but it is also completely encased in steel, with a huge pit in its center. Elevators connect the interior of the mountain to the summit, and flying vehicles constantly shuttle between the helipads and high-rise buildings built on the mountain, making it seem like the city center of the City of Light.

At the summit, there stands a massive spire hundreds of meters high, around which tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of people have gathered. They are either waiting to enter the spire or meditating, resembling a group of devout believers praying to a deity, a sight that is indescribably awe-inspiring.

As the Smiling Skull's large flying transport vehicle slowly came to a stop on the building in the mountains, another large flying transport vehicle made of C6-grade alloy also caught the attention of the Smiling Skull group as they stepped off.

The large flying transport vehicle was marked with a symbol of a mechanical arm, and the people who stepped out of the vehicle were a race extremely rare in the Fog Mountain region.

Among these people, some were snake people, with human bodies and snake tails, and four arms; others were shadow people, whose entire bodies were wrapped in bandages and shrouded in black smoke except for their eyes. These two races were rarely seen in the Misty Mountain region, but the majority of them were those who got off the transport vehicle.

Occasionally, there are members of the Forest Clan and the Three-Eyed Clan, and even a few humans.

Among these hundreds of people, the weakest were all at the high level of the Bone Forging Realm, and the leader was a snake-man man at the Blood Condensation Realm. The sheer power he exuded as he stepped off the vehicle caused all the Bone Forging Realm cultivators around him to tremble with fear.

"I really didn't expect that Black Steel Heavy Industry would send you, the legion commander, in person. It seems you attach great importance to those guard robots this time." The middle-aged demon leader, Mo Xiao, greeted the middle-aged snake-man leader who was walking down.

As the demon spoke, Isaac looked at the middle-aged snake-man with some surprise.

Black Steel Heavy Industry!

This force does not belong to the Fog Mountain region, but to the Desolate Ridge region next to the Fog Mountain region. It is a first-class force in the Four Domains, and its power is no less than that of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. Unlike Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, which is good at making potions, Black Steel Heavy Industry is good at mechanical manufacturing, especially flying cars and sky behemoths. More than 70% of the sky behemoths in the Four Domains come from Black Steel Heavy Industry.

As for Blacksteel Heavy Industries, it has five legions that specialize in venturing deep into monster lairs to search for precious metal veins, and the legion commanders are all big figures in the four regions.

“Mechanical devices have always been a key research topic for Black Steel, so of course I had to come and take a look.” Iron Twilight, who was over six meters tall, glanced at Demon Ape and said with some surprise, “It’s quite unexpected that you, one of the Seven Guardians, have come. I’ve heard that the relationship between you Smiling Skull and Obsidian Martial Arts School doesn’t seem to be good. In fact, Obsidian Martial Arts School is even known as the Northern Gray Robe in the Dead Mountain Range. You’re not here to take the opportunity to destroy Crimson Moon Town, the Northern Gray Robe, are you?”

"It's just the destruction of Crimson Moon Town, not enough to warrant my intervention." Demon Ape shook his head and said very bluntly, "But treasures belong to the capable, and we Smiling Skeletons won't let any of these guarding robots go."

"You Smiling Skeletons are still the same as ever, just grabbing whatever you want. Aren't you afraid that one day when Misty Mountain City becomes popular, you'll spare no expense to penetrate deep into the Mountain of the Dead and wipe you out?" Tie Mu looked at the murderous Demon Ape and then glanced at the other forces that had come from the surrounding area with some pity.

The Smiling Skull faction, while touted as a top-tier force in the Fog Mountain region, is essentially just a group of unruly mountain bandits.

If it weren't for the strict city management in the Fog Mountain region, the Smiling Skull would have already robbed all the major cities in the Fog Mountain area.

Now that various forces have come to bid for the guard robot, the Smiling Skull may not be able to snatch it from the top forces in the four domains, but those ordinary forces that have come will probably all suffer.

It's fair to say that Smiling Skull has turned the auction hosted by Obsidian Martial Arts Academy into a prime location for gathering ATMs, while ordinary forces are probably unaware of this.

Moreover, even if they don't take action against the Obsidian Martial Arts School, doing this will still embarrass them, making it impossible for them to continue holding auctions or establish their status.

"We're just robbing in the wild. Misty Mountain City won't do something so thankless and exhausting for such a small matter," Demon Ape chuckled.

Other forces may not know that the Smiling Skull has always maintained a good balance in the Fog Mountain region, never touching the very foundation of Fog Mountain City. This is also why Fog Mountain City allowed him, a Blood Condensation Realm expert, to enter the Fog Mountain region this time.

"You Smiling Skeletons have come up with a good plan this time," Tie Mu glanced at Mo Xiao and smiled. "However, it's unlikely you'll get your way this time. I have some information that Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, in conjunction with several powerful forces in the Mist Mountain region, is planning a major operation. It's uncertain whether this auction can even proceed as scheduled." "Indeed, it's a problem," Mo Xiao said dismissively, laughing. "But it's just a slight change in our objective. If Earth Star Pharmaceuticals makes a move, we'll just rob those guard robots directly. After all, those guard robots were our original target, and wasn't that what you were planning to do anyway?"

Tie Mu did not respond after hearing this, but just smiled, because it was not only Black Steel who thought so, but also the other major forces that came here probably thought so too.

If these extraterritorial forces, especially those at the Blood Condensation Realm, were to directly attack towns in the Mist Mountain region, the Mist Mountain Domain City would certainly not let it go. However, if they were to take advantage of the chaos to loot, the Mist Mountain Domain City could not say much, at most it would just punish the troublemaking forces.

Immediately afterward, Tie Mu led his team to the auction in Chiyue Town, without saying anything more to Mo Xiao.

"Is Earthstar Pharmaceuticals going to make a big splash in Red Moon Town?" Isaac's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Earth Star Pharmaceuticals attacked Obsidian Martial Arts School, and a powerful force took advantage of the chaos to plunder. Now, it was impossible for Obsidian Martial Arts School's Crimson Moon Town not to be destroyed.

After all, with so many forces making trouble, even Azurewing City, which is known as one of the two strongest cities in the Fog Mountain region, probably couldn't handle it, let alone Obsidian Martial Arts School.

Meanwhile, everyone in the Smiling Skull group, especially the newly selected geniuses, was extremely excited.

They were all a little curious before, as to why the higher-ups had sent so many of these newcomers. If the goal was simply to broaden the horizons of these geniuses, there would be no need to send so many. Just a few of the most talented ones would suffice, since most of the new geniuses were destined to be cannon fodder.

Now it seems that bringing them here was actually a trial by the Smiling Skull, giving these talented newcomers a chance to spar with geniuses and experts from various forces. Such opportunities are rare within the Smiling Skull.

"Alright, let's go too." Seeing that the smiling skeleton newcomers were getting a little excited, Mo Xiao interrupted their private discussions and led the group directly to the auction in Crimson Moon Town.

Just as the newlyweds had guessed.

The idea of ​​"Northern Gray Robe and Southern Skeleton" is a joke in the eyes of the Smiling Skeleton; the two sides are simply not on the same level.

This auction has been regarded by the higher-ups as a testing ground for newcomers. Moreover, it's not just Smiling Skull who thinks so; many top-tier forces, and even some major forces within the Misty Mountain region, probably think the same way, which is why they have all sent many geniuses here.

In the eyes of the major powers, this auction held by the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is just a game. They think they can improve their status in the Fog Mountain region? That's just a pipe dream.

After the Smiling Skull group left, the people from Star Tower City who had just stepped off the flying transport vehicle on the building, as well as the members of the Holy Blood Mercenary Group, all heard the words of the two powerful figures and were deeply shocked.

"Commander, you didn't know all along, did you?" Vice Commander Huanglang couldn't help but ask Commander Zhuogu, who had just gotten off the vehicle.

The deputy leaders were suddenly summoned by the leader to attend the auction, which puzzled him somewhat.

Such a grand event is indeed a great opportunity to broaden one's horizons, but there's no need to bring all the deputy leaders. After all, they're here to attend the auction, not to cause trouble. If there are too many people, the venue probably won't be able to accommodate everyone.

At this moment, not only was Huanglang in awe, but even Alek, the deputy city lord of Star Tower City, looked at City Lord Hulei in shock, as if asking if Hulei thought the same way.

"Jade must be carved to become a gem." Hu Lei did not respond, but stroked his beard and said calmly, "Moreover, this is also an opportunity for you. The geniuses of those powerful forces have a lot of good things in their hands. If you can seize them, it will be of great help to your future."

After hearing this, Alec took a deep breath to calm his restless heart. He never expected that coming to the auction would bring such a good thing.

As geniuses nurtured in the city, they are far inferior to those nurtured by powerful forces in terms of resources. If they could obtain the resources of geniuses from those powerful forces, it would indeed be of great help to them in their attempt to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm, just like when they bought resources from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals to advance to the Blood Condensation Realm. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to break through to become experts in the Blood Condensation Realm.

Those resources are things that people living in the city would never even dare to dream of, but now they have the opportunity to obtain them, which is indeed a very rare and great opportunity.

"Bei Huiyi probably never imagined things would turn out this way," Zhuogu said with a sigh, looking at the bustling and prosperous Chiyue Town. "What was supposed to be a grand event has turned into a game between various forces."

The geniuses of powerful forces need to be honed and killed to grow better, while the masters of smaller forces need resources. Both sides get what they need, and the entire Crimson Moon Town becomes a playground for the major forces, while the Obsidian Martial Arts School remains completely unaware.

However, just as Zhuogu and the others were preparing to head to the auction venue, a surge of blood energy suddenly shot into the sky from the top of the mountain in Chiyue Town. The terrifying power even caused everyone on the mountain to be pressed to the ground, and even experts in the Bone Forging Realm were unable to move for a moment.

"Such terrifying blood and qi! What's going on?"

"Such turbulent blood and energy! Someone has broken through, and has even broken through to the Blood Condensation Realm!"

"Breaking through to the Blood Condensation Realm? Has anyone at the very top of the Cultivation Tower broken through to the Blood Condensation Realm?"

"Only people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy can use the top floor of the Cultivation Tower. Could it be that someone from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has broken through to the Blood Condensation Realm?"

The crowd went from initial fear to disbelief, staring intently at the cultivation tower as if they had seen a ghost.

Blood Coagulation Realm!
This realm is one that most martial artists in the region would never dare to dream of in their entire lives, even many deputy city lord-level experts.

But now, someone has successfully broken through right in front of them, and in fact, it happened in a training room built by the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, a powerful organization. It's simply unbelievable.

"Breaking through to the Blood Condensation Realm? How is that possible!"

"Such terrifying blood and energy, who on earth has broken through?"

"Could it be the owner of the museum, Lin Qi?"

At this moment, Zhuogu, Hulei, and even Huanglang and Alek on the mountainside building all stared intently at the Tower of Cultivation, completely unable to believe that it was real.

Blood Coagulation Realm!
Someone from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has actually broken through to the Blood Condensation Realm!
