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

Chapter 368 The Tribute from All Regions and a New Chapter in History

Inside the secret chamber, the terrifying aura emanating from the three-eyed elder caused the three deputy city lords to kneel on the ground, their breathing becoming extremely difficult.

"Lord Amber, we don't know exactly how Lord Frostwolf died. We only know that Lord Frostwolf suddenly sealed off the border and attacked the headquarters of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, Crimson Moon City, and was completely wiped out."

"Furthermore, we have also received information that it was not only Lord Frostwolf who was involved, but a legion commander was also involved, but he also died in Crimson Moon City."

The three deputy city lords hurriedly explained to the three-eyed elder, fearing that if they were a moment too slow, they would die on the spot.

Although Hu Jin is the city lord of Tianhe Domain City and one of the four guardians of Azure Star, he is the strongest among the four guardians. It is rumored that he is comparable to the top 30 legion commanders of Prison Dragon Star. He is just waiting to master the profound meaning to reach perfection before he can take up a post on a third-class breeding planet. Therefore, he has been cultivating diligently in Domain City.

Now that they have disturbed Amber's ascetic practice, and with the death of Frostwolf, one of the four wardens, everyone on Azure Star is to blame, especially the leading warden, who will likely be held accountable.

After all, the fact that the farmed goods were killed, and that the chief keeper was the one who died, is enough to show how negligent the keeper was.

"That damned Frostwolf! He caused this mess, and now that he's dead, we have to clean it up." After hearing this, Amber regained his composure and immediately ordered, "Send men to thoroughly investigate Crimson Moon City and Obsidian Martial Arts School. I need to know the exact cause of death of Frostwolf and that legion commander."

"Yes!" the three deputy city lords responded in unison.

I was not surprised at all by Amber's decision.

Now that a warden and a legion commander have died mysteriously in Crimson Moon City, taking action before investigating the matter thoroughly might lead to the same fate as Frostwolf. As for reporting it directly to Prison Dragon Star, that would ruin their future prospects.

Therefore, it is necessary to find out the situation of the Obsidian Martial Arts School. If the three supervisors can resolve it themselves, then they should do so directly, so that they will receive the least punishment.

After the three deputy city lords left the secret room, Hu Jin thought for a moment, then stood up, walked to the communication device next to him, and dialed a number.

"Hu Jin, I really didn't expect you to contact me first." A young woman of the demon race with red skin, long horns on her forehead, and a height of only two meters appeared on the screen and teased Hu Jin, "I thought you wouldn't contact me again until you reached the perfection of the profound arts and went to work on a third-class breeding planet. Have you found some good stuff to offer?"

“Huang Jiu, I need to capture a few Grandmasters for some matters. I would like to hire you. Once completed, I will give you five thousand tons of fourth-tier blood food at market price,” Hu Jin said directly.

While he could also kill a warden and a legion commander, especially since the other two wardens were not as young as Frostwolf and had been on Azure Star for a long time, their strength, though not as great as his, was still among the top forty legion commanders on Prison Dragon Star. However, they had exhausted their potential and this was the end of their lives.

With the three wardens working together, they could easily defeat not only the Obsidian Martial Arts School, but even if the Holy Temple dared to come out, they could fight back. That's why they were put in charge of guarding Azure Star.

However, just in case, he felt it was necessary to hire some Star Bandits to ensure everything went smoothly.

Huang Jiu was a star bandit he had known for many years. The two had done a lot of business, trading geniuses from breeding planets. After all, it wasn't just their empire that needed geniuses; other forces also needed geniuses as slaves. The stronger the slave, the more popular they were, and the higher the price they would fetch.

As long as the bandits are paid, they will do anything. However, they do not have that much imperial currency. Blood food is the hard currency in the universe. It can not only meet their own energy consumption, but also help accelerate cultivation. Many breeding planets also raise some monsters as blood food.

The higher the grade of blood food, the higher the price. Fourth-grade blood food is considered high-grade blood food in the universe, the mainstream food of the Celestial Realm, and is highly sought after by major forces in the universe.

"That's too little. I recently reached the Qi Condensation Creation Realm, and I'm now considered a half-step into Godhood. If you want me to take action, you'd need at least 30,000 tons of fourth-tier blood food." Huang Jiu shook her head and held up three fingers.

"Thirty thousand tons of fourth-tier blood food? Why don't you just rob it?" Hu Jin glared at Huang Jiu, his face filled with anger.

There are already few fourth-tier blood prey on fourth-class breeding planets. On Azure Star, due to the problem of alien invasion, the space for monsters to survive has been further compressed. Currently, only those monsters that are called kings by the people of the four domains are fourth-tier blood prey.

The four wardens had to spend ten years raising these kings and might not even kill one. Each king weighed only 20,000 to 30,000 tons. If they gave it to Huang Jiu, it would be equivalent to the four wardens working for free on Azure Star for ten years. After all, this was the only perk of being a wardens of a breeding star.

"The price of 30,000 tons of fourth-tier blood food was only offered because of our past relationship. If it were anyone else, I would never have agreed to it without at least 50,000 tons of fourth-tier blood food." Huang Jiu wasn't angry; she just calmly looked at Hu Jin. "So, do you want to do this deal or not?"

Seeing that Huang Jiu was not going to back down, Hu Jin sighed and said, "Give me some time to think about it, okay?"

Although Huang Jiu is a star bandit who roams among various forces in the universe, she is truly powerful. As a mutated species among the demon race, she had previously mastered a profound technique to the point of perfection, making her strength comparable to the top ten legion commanders on Prison Dragon Star. Now, she has even reached the half-step into the realm of godhood, and her strength is probably unmatched by many on the entire Prison Dragon Star.

Thirty thousand tons of fourth-order blood food, although the price is high, is indeed worth it.

"Alright, but I'll be staying in this star system for a while. You guys have been fighting fiercely with the Holy Temple lately, and several experts at the Fusion God Realm have been dispatched. You'd better think this through quickly." Huang Jiu didn't press for details and simply hung up the communication.

"I hope that Obsidian Martial Arts School isn't as strong as I think." After hearing this, Amber couldn't help but continue cultivating the profound techniques.

……

On the third day after Obsidian Martial Arts Academy replaced Fog Mountain City, the major forces of the four regions, who had already received the news, dispatched personnel to Crimson Moon City. In addition to confirming the intelligence, they wanted to see what kind of situation the new ruler of the Fog Mountain region, Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, was.

At dawn, just as the sun was rising, a large number of sky ships and flying transport vehicles appeared outside Crimson Moon City, wanting to dock. However, due to the sheer number of sky ships and flying transport vehicles, they formed a long queue in mid-air, stretching for dozens of kilometers.

On the deck of a giant skyship bearing the mark of Tianhe Domain City, hundreds of members of Tianhe Domain City gathered. Among them were men, women, and children, all looking at Crimson Moon City with curiosity in their eyes.

"Senior Sister Lingye, is that warship, which is more than ten kilometers long, the ultimate trump card of the Misty Mountain Domain City that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy supposedly seized?" A human woman in her early twenties, at the Bone Forging Realm, gazed at the space warship, which was more than ten kilometers long, with amazement in her beautiful eyes.

The Tianhe Domain City members who were present for the first time were awestruck by the magnificent scale of the spaceship.

The largest spaceship currently recognized by the four domains is a sky behemoth over a thousand meters long, but compared to a space warship, it is not even as good as a baby.

Such a large warship can be described as a sky fortress. It would be no problem to install city-level heavy ion cannons on it. A single shot from a city-level heavy ion cannon can unleash the power of the high-level Blood Coagulation Realm, which is equivalent to fighting against a calamity-level monster in the sky.

It can be said that within the Four Domains, except for the depths of the Mountain of the Dead, one can fly freely anywhere else, something that the major powers of the Four Domains never dared to dream of before.

However, the people of Tianhe City did not know that the Zerg's spaceship was made of D-grade alloy, which was above C-grade. With the blood energy barrier generated by the blood energy inputted by the Blood Coagulation Realm, it could even block the attacks of a high-level Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm. Without the blood energy barrier, it could easily block the attacks of a Blood Coagulation Realm warrior.

Furthermore, the attacks of the spaceships were all controlled by warriors at the Blood Condensation Realm, and each shot possessed the power of a high-level Celestial Realm cultivator. These were not weapons designed to counter Blood Condensation Realm cultivators, but rather weapons capable of dealing with ordinary Celestial Realm Grandmasters, and were a guarantee specifically used by the Zerg for space travel. However, just as the people of Tianhe Domain City were filled with astonishment, the giant skyship of Tianhe Domain City was finally guided into the spaceport of Crimson Moon City.

As the people of Tianhe City stepped off the giant sky ship, they were quickly awestruck by the sights within Crimson Moon City.

On the streets of Crimson Moon City, it was one thing for experts at the Blood Condensation Realm to gather from various forces across the four regions, but what was with all the Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples dressed in silver-gray clothing at the Blood Condensation Realm?

It can be said that among every dozen or so gray-robed disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts School, there is roughly one expert at the Blood Condensation Realm. After walking only two or three streets, you can see more than a dozen gray-robed disciples at the Blood Condensation Realm.

Besides these gray-robed disciples at the Blood Condensation Realm, there were also other Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples at the Blood Condensation Realm on the streets. Their numbers even exceeded those of the gray-robed disciples, and each of them had a very strong presence. It felt like they were among the top geniuses in the Domain City, if not peerless geniuses.

“Ling Ye, Yi Feng, the situation at the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is completely different from what you described.” An elderly man with half-white hair and whose strength had reached the limit of the middle stage of the Celestial Realm couldn’t help but look at Ling Ye and Yi Feng beside him.

Seeing the old man's puzzled look, Ling Ye and Yi Feng were at a loss for words.

They were sent here by the Domain City to make amends and learn about the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. So before they came, they had already told their teacher, the Third Elder of Tianhe Domain City, about the entire situation of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

But they really didn't expect that, although the city hadn't changed much in the short time they had been away from Crimson Moon City, what were these young disciples in the Blood Condensation Realm on the city streets?

It's as if the Blood Condensation Realm is like cabbage, everywhere you look, one crop after another. Even the density of Blood Condensation Realm cultivators in the Domain City isn't this terrifying.

"Third Elder, don't blame those two. The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has always been ambitious and must have been hiding a lot of strength before. Now that they have defeated the Misty Mountain Domain City, they no longer hide their strength, which is a good thing for us." Rexar, who had successfully advanced to the Celestial Realm, said with a smile.

“Yes, let’s go take a look at their cultivation tower.” The Third Elder nodded in agreement.

Among the four major domain cities, Fog Mountain Domain City can be considered the weakest. However, Obsidian Martial Arts Academy eventually replaced Fog Mountain Domain City, and its strength is naturally incomparable to that of Fog Mountain Domain City. It is normal for it to have more experts at the Blood Condensation Realm.

As the Third Elder and the others arrived at the intermediate cultivation tower beneath Crimson Moon City, intending to assess the general level of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, wave after wave of terrifying blood energy surged towards them, nearly causing the Third Elder and Rexxar, both Celestial Realm Grandmasters, to kneel on the ground.

"How can this be!"

Rexxar stared blankly at the five-story intermediate cultivation tower, completely dumbfounded.

One...two...three...

He sensed the blood and qi strength that only a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm possessed in over a hundred people within the Intermediate Cultivation Tower, and the blood and qi strength of most of these people was above his.

At this moment, not only was Rexxar stunned, but all the experts from various forces who had come here also had the same expression.

The strength of one's Qi and Blood cannot be faked; at most, it can be hidden.

There are currently over a hundred Grandmasters at the Celestial Realm. Not to mention that one domain city can't produce them openly, even two domain cities might not be able to.

"Excuse me, let us pass. We have a new disciple who needs to go through."

Just as Rexxar and the others were stunned, a clear voice echoed in their ears, causing them to turn their heads to look. They saw a beautiful woman with three pairs of golden wings leading a group of people.

This beautiful woman with three pairs of golden wings is known to almost everyone among the students of the four major cities.

Xie Feina, a peerless genius from Wushan Domain City, is also a peerless genius of the same generation as Yinghu from Tianhe Domain City.

At this time, although Xie Feina was only at the middle stage of the Blood Condensation Realm, the richness of her blood and qi was comparable to that of a half-step Celestial Being. No one would disagree that she was an unparalleled genius.

The sight of the hundreds of young men and women around thirty years old standing behind Shefina made Shadow Tiger and Rexar, who had come with them, question their very existence.

These young men and women, around thirty years old, were mostly human, with some being demons and half-scaled races, and they all had one thing in common.

That means all of these people are Grandmasters at the initial stage of the Celestial Realm!
"Senior Sister Xie Feina, who are these people?" Ling Ye couldn't help but ask Xie Feina, wondering if there was something seriously wrong with his blood and qi perception.

Celestial Realm Grandmaster!
This is the goal that all the geniuses in the four major cities, and even the four regions, pursue throughout their lives. Just being able to become a grandmaster before the age of fifty is enough to make one famous throughout the four regions and be recorded in the history of the city.

Just like Rexxar this time, he broke through to the Celestial Realm before he was fifty years old, which caused a sensation in the entire Tianhe Domain City. Shadow Tiger, who had only recently broken through, was directly outshone.

But what kind of hellish joke is it that there are hundreds of young men and women around thirty years old who are all at the Celestial Realm?
"These people are all newly accepted formal disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, so I brought them here to visit the Training Tower." Shefina explained calmly, looking at Ling Ye, whom she had met a few times in Crimson Moon City.

"Are these the newly accepted formal disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?" Ling Ye looked at the grandmasters who weren't much older than him and couldn't help but twitch his eye slightly.

A Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm came to the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy as a formal disciple. She suspected that either these people were crazy, or there was something wrong with her mind.

When did the official disciples of Obsidian Martial Arts Academy become so prestigious?

"I'm not going to chat with you anymore, junior. After I finish introducing them, I still have to receive another group." Xie Feina looked at the stunned Ling Ye and didn't say anything more. She understood the shock of the scene very well. If she hadn't gotten used to it these past two days, her situation wouldn't have been any better than Ling Ye's.

"Third Elder, how should we report this now?" Rexxar looked at the hundreds of Celestial Realm youths who had left, somewhat dazed, and couldn't help but ask the Third Elder, who was leading the group, in a low voice.

"This..." The Third Elder didn't know what to say for a moment.

Inside the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall on the other side.

As Lin Qi sat cross-legged inside, a system notification suddenly sounded in his ear.

System: Congratulations, host. You have met the requirements for promotion to Level 4 Manager. Would you like to proceed with the promotion?
