Chapter 423: Once He Completes the Third Transition, None of Us Will Be His Match
Leaving the range of the Demon Emperor’s palace, the Demon Kings gradually relaxed.
They dared not disobey the orders given by the Demon Emperor.
Moreover, the tasks had already been assigned.
Since the Succubus King often dealt with humans, the task of killing the Earth Knight and Lin Moyu fell to her.
The Demon Emperor clearly did not know that she had already had several encounters with Lin Moyu, and each time she had suffered losses.
If she could kill him, she would have done so long ago.
But she dared not say this, nor did she dare refuse.
"Succubus King, please wait."
As she was pondering how to deal with Lin Moyu, she heard the voice of the Black Sky Demon King behind her.
The Black Sky Demon King had also been assigned the task of finding the Earth Knight and killing Lin Moyu.
Now, they could be considered comrades-in-arms.
The Succubus King asked, "What is it, Black Sky Demon King?"
The Succubus King was very polite to the Black Sky Demon King. His level was not lower than hers, and his combat power was famously strong, likely stronger than hers.
She naturally respected the strong.
The Black Sky Demon King said, "I want to ask you about Lin Moyu."
"To be honest, when the Flame Demon King issued a bounty on Lin Moyu in the Ancient Battlefield, my son happened to be there and took the bounty to hunt Lin Moyu, but was killed instead."
"That incident happened not long ago. I can’t understand how Lin Moyu could reach the level of a god-level expert in such a short time."
In his view, only god-level experts among humans could kill a Demon King.
The difference between god-level and non-god-level was like the difference between a Demon King and non-Demon King.
It was not just a difference of one level, but a qualitative leap.
The Succubus King suddenly laughed, "Lin Moyu is not a god-level expert."
The Black Sky Demon King was shocked, "Not a god-level expert? Then how could he kill the Flame Demon King?"
The Succubus King said, "It’s a long story about Lin Moyu. Let’s talk as we walk."
"Alright."
Along the way, the Succubus King recounted Lin Moyu’s story.
She also wanted to kill Lin Moyu, and with the Black Sky Demon King’s help, the chances of success might be higher.
After hearing the story, the Black Sky Demon King said solemnly, "In that case, it’s no wonder my son died at Lin Moyu’s hands."
Even though he was not yet level 50, he could kill a Demon King. Lin Moyu’s combat power was beyond common sense.
The Succubus King said, "Even though the Flame Demon King was foolish enough to enter the dungeon and have his power suppressed, he was still a Demon King."
"Lin Moyu’s combat power has grown stronger since the Ancient Battlefield, and he has fought the Dragon Tribe several times. The Dragon Tribe couldn’t do anything to him."
"They even kidnapped his friends to ambush him, but failed and lost a Dragon King in the process."
"This guy not only has great luck but is also very difficult to deal with. I feel that if he reaches god-level, none of us will be his match."
The Black Sky Demon King had a different view, "We don’t need to wait for him to reach god-level. I feel that once he completes the third transition, he will be able to rival us."
"So, we must kill him now."
"Otherwise, once he completes the third transition, only the Demon Emperor himself will be able to kill him."
The Succubus King agreed with the Black Sky Demon King, "I also want to kill him, but he is in the human world, and we can’t reach him."
The Black Sky Demon King said, "Let’s keep an eye on him and see if he leaves the human world. I’ll think of a way."
"That’s the only plan for now."
After discussing for a while, they parted ways.
Killing Lin Moyu was difficult, but it had to be done.
In the Black Sky Demon King’s eyes, killing Lin Moyu was more important and more difficult than killing the Earth Knight.
The Demon Worship Society had been mostly eradicated, but some small fry remained.
They should be enough to keep an eye on one person.
Lin Moyu continued to clear dungeons for two days and finally reached level 50.
After reaching level 50, the experience required for leveling up increased dramatically again.
Even a level 45 dungeon like the [Beast God Plateau] could no longer meet the experience requirements.
Each dungeon run only increased his experience by 1%.
It would take 100 runs to level up once.
Who could endure that?
The main issue was that Lin Moyu’s leveling speed was too fast. Others might spend several years or even a decade to go from level 40 to 50.
But Lin Moyu had completed this feat in less than a year.
In others’ eyes, Lin Moyu’s leveling speed was a miracle.
But to Lin Moyu, his leveling speed was not fast enough.
With Lin Mohan as a benchmark, Lin Moyu felt the pressure.
Lin Moyu left the dungeon and headed to the trading house.
The trading house had been slightly damaged in the recent battle but was now mostly repaired.
It had been a while since Lin Moyu visited the trading house, and his storage space was filled with a large number of gold and platinum-grade equipment and weapons.
Lin Moyu decided to sell them all at the trading house.
Previously, he had kept some platinum-grade equipment with good attributes for himself or Ning Yiyi.
But now, he had seen too many good items, including boss accessories, legendary weapons, and even mythical weapons.
Unconsciously, his standards had risen, and he no longer valued those items.
Now, only legendary or boss-grade accessories were considered good in his eyes.
At the very least, they had to be top-tier platinum-grade equipment with excellent attributes and skills.
Although he had obtained many pieces of equipment, only a few could be considered top-tier.
One of them, the Turtle Shield, had already been given to Shi Xing’an.
The remaining items included equipment obtained from the Ancient Earth Dragon God and the Soul Devourer Dagger from the Soul Devourer Worm King.
[Soul Devourer Dagger (Assassin Exclusive): Platinum-grade weapon, all attributes +2500, Assassin skills increased by 80%.]
[Skill: Soul Devourer (Passive): Each attack deals soul damage to the target, ignoring defense, physical immunity, and elemental immunity.]
He had no use for this item and originally intended to give it to Ning Yiyi.
But Ning Yiyi had said something similar to what she said about the boss accessories, so Lin Moyu put it away.
The Soul Devourer Ring also had good attributes, but with the boss accessories, it seemed inferior, so Lin Moyu decided to sell it.
In the end, he kept only the Soul Devourer Dagger, the Earth Dragon God’s Sword, the Earth Dragon God’s Shield, and the Earth Dragon God’s Robe.
All other platinum and gold-grade weapons were sold at the trading house for a large amount of gold.
When Lin Moyu sold the equipment, the trading house’s magic crystal system experienced a brief lag.
The person in charge of the trading house was stunned by the sudden influx of so many weapons.
The amount was so large that he didn’t dare make a decision.
But when he saw the seller’s name, he trembled. The seller was Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu’s fame was so great that he couldn’t be ignored.
He immediately contacted his superior, who then contacted their superior.
Within seconds, he received a response from the highest level.
"All items sold by General Lin will be bought back at a 20% premium."
"All items purchased by General Lin will be sold at a 20% discount."
Without hesitation, he proceeded with the transactions.
Lin Moyu noticed that after a brief lag, the trading house returned to normal.
A large amount of gold entered his account, ready for use.
"Hmm, there’s more gold."
Lin Moyu noticed that he had more gold than expected. He had about 1 billion gold before, and selling all the equipment should have brought in about 8 billion gold.
But now, he had 9 billion gold, making his total wealth 10 billion.
He also noticed that the prices in the trading house had become cheaper.
The prices for others hadn’t changed, but he had a discount.
He quickly realized that the trading house was giving him a special offer.
It was clear that the trading house was run by the royal family.
This was the royal family’s way of showing goodwill.
"Although they haven’t come to apologize in person, this gesture is quite good."
Lin Moyu smiled and began purchasing items.
This time, he came to buy intermediate skill scrolls.
The trading house priced them at 10 million gold each, and with the discount, they were 8 million gold each.
As for the glowing intermediate skill scrolls, they weren’t available for sale.
Although they were priced at about ten times the cost of regular intermediate skill scrolls, they were rare and hard to find.
There was no way around it; the supply was too limited.
Lin Moyu still had four glowing intermediate skill scrolls and couldn’t use them recklessly.
At least not at level 50, so he had to rely on quantity to make up for it.
With his experience from awakening skills at level 30, Lin Moyu didn’t hesitate and made a big purchase.
500 intermediate skill scrolls.
