Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 747 Obtaining the Legendary Codex, the North Wind King Arrives!
"These two legendary pieces of equipment should be the weapons that King Asura just used in battle. Their power has been verified and they are quite powerful."

"But... which one should I choose?"

Cao Xing was caught in a dilemma.

A moment later, he couldn't help but complain, "Damn it... can't I choose both?"

I want both of them!

After all, the weapon he's currently wielding is still a level 70 [Astrology Staff].

Moreover, this is an epic-quality staff.

If I could get this legendary scepter, the improvement would be huge!
As for the codex... although he does have a [Demon Codex], it is used in [Great Demon Form].

Therefore, either of these two pieces of equipment would greatly enhance his abilities.

After hesitating for a while, Cao Xing made a decision in his heart.

"I'll choose the Starfall Codex. It seems more suitable for me than that mechanical scepter."

"After all, I don't have the ability to operate machinery."

"Furthermore, I have another way to obtain the legendary staff, which is to collect [Moon Goddess Orb Fragments]."

"Currently, I have collected 5 pieces. I only need 7 more pieces to go to the Orchid Kingdom and obtain the complete Moon Goddess Staff."

"When the time comes, with the Starfall Codex in my left hand and the Moon Goddess Staff in my right, that sight... will definitely be awesome!"

Cao Xing happily fantasized, and then made his choice directly.

【Successful selection! 】

[Obtained: Starfall Codex (Legendary)]

...

I gazed at the ancient-covered legal code in my backpack, its pages gleaming with starlight.

Cao Xing felt a surge of satisfaction and couldn't wait to take it out and check its attributes.

However, he had another reward to choose from before that.

That's the blueprint for the legendary golem!
Cao Xing pondered, "The names of these golems seem quite familiar; they're the ones that caught me off guard in the fifth round."

Cao Xing has a vivid memory of those three demonic elephants.

Under the suppression of the triple domain, he was almost taken down in one fell swoop.

"However, only when all three magic elephants are gathered together, and the three domains are combined, will the effect be at its strongest."

"If I could only choose one, it would be a really tough decision..."

Cao Xing was once again caught in a dilemma.

After some thought, he decided, "Let's choose [Suppressor]. This guy's gravity field is pretty freakish; it'll be good as a group support."

"In addition, it also has strong combat capabilities, meaning it can both fight and provide support."

【Successful selection! 】

[Reward: Golem-Suppressor IG03 Blueprint]

...

At this point, all the rewards for the final trial have been claimed.

The harvest was quite astonishing!

Before Cao Xing could even check, a blue beam of light descended from the sky, completely enveloping him.

A spatial fluctuation appeared.

[The challenge has ended. The challenger will now be teleported out of the trial space...]

"Om-"

With a flash of light, Cao Xing disappeared from the spot.

...

...

In the plaza outside.

As time went on, the number of people gathering here increased.

Especially when the beam of light burst forth from the tower in the center of the Lost Royal City, it attracted the attention of many mercenaries.

In just half an hour, the number of people in the square had approached two thousand!
Moreover, the mercenaries here are not ordinary adventurers.

They came from many kingdoms in the northern part of the entire western continent.

Besides the recent Ice Crystal Kingdom and Orchid Kingdom, etc.

There are also countries that are farther away, such as the Silver Lion Kingdom and the Nightlight Kingdom.

Those who can enter the inner city of the ruins are at least at the fifth rank, making them the elite among elites.

Or rather, they are essentially the eyes and ears of various powerful forces.

What happens in this ruin will soon be relayed to various countries through the mercenaries' intelligence network.

On this day, many high-ranking officials of the kingdoms, as well as those in power, heard about a sensational event!

A lord from another world named Cao Xing fought his way through five rounds of trials in the ancient arena and crushed the record of the 'Undying Demon Body'.

It is said that he is even challenging the legendary final trial!
The leaders of those forces were shocked and immediately sent people to investigate Cao Xing's identity.

After all, the mere fact that the record for the 'Undying Demon Body' was broken was enough to warrant their attention.

You won't know until you check, and what you find out will shock you!
Only then did they realize that this person was actually the otherworldly lord who led the legends of the four kingdoms to a head-on defeat of the Blood Legion during the Blood Rebellion!

Although the specific details of that battle were not fully disclosed, they were able to deduce them from some clues.

This lord from another world made outstanding contributions during the Blood War.

Before this, Cao Xing's name was only known among the billions of survivors.

Now, his name is known to the kings of various kingdoms and the rulers of those great powers.

He was famous in almost half of the continent!
Even the Gray Mist King, War King Kunard, and others who were recovering from their injuries in the previous battle in the palace had heard about this.

As participants in the bloody war, they were arguably the ones who best understood just how terrifying Cao Xing's territory's strength was.

Gray Phantom Mist, the legendary dwarf from the Gray Mist Kingdom, grinned: "Heh heh... As expected of that chosen lord, he actually broke Armor's record!"

"That Undying Demon Body guy, I've disliked him for a long time!"

"Relying on their own strength, they are arrogant and have rejected our alliance requests several times."

“Even during the bloody chaos, he ignored our pleas for help.”

"Now you know what it means to have a world beyond your own, right?"

"Hey! Lord Cao Xing did a great job! You really crushed Kai's arrogance!"

He seemed very happy, and even the old king beside him appeared kind and benevolent.

After a pause, Gray seemed to realize something.

He paced back and forth in the palace, his short legs moving as he thought to himself.

"Lord Cao Xing was able to break the 'Armor' record. What level has his strength reached now?"

"Could it be..."

Upon realizing this, Gray's pupils widened instantly!
...

...

On the other side, War King Kunard and another chief warrior, 'Groot Bull', were talking in hushed tones.

"Have you heard... Lord Cao Xing broke the fastest record in the Ancient Arena?" War King Kunard said calmly.

General Grute nodded respectfully and said, "I have heard, Your Majesty."

He paused for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "However... given Lord Cao Xing's strength, it shouldn't be surprising that he could do this, right?"

"After all, he is..."

But War King Kunard shook his head and said, "No, it's not that simple."

"We've all been to that ancient arena, and we know how dangerous and difficult it is."

"It's very difficult for anyone who isn't a legendary-level expert to pass the fifth round."

"While Lord Cao Xing's strength during the Bloodshed was astonishing, it was still far from reaching the legendary level..."

"Now, he can crush the record of the 'Undying Demon Body'... What does this mean?"

Groot frowned and slowly uttered two words: "Legend."

War King Kunard nodded, a look of emotion appearing in his eyes: "I didn't expect that less than two months have passed since we last parted, and he has already broken through to the Legendary level..."

"The speed at which this otherworldly lord grows is truly unbelievable."

"At this rate, it won't be long before he doesn't even respect demigods anymore..."

General Groot was immediately taken aback!
They don't even put demigods in their eyes; you can imagine what that means!

In an era when gods did not exist, demigods were already the pinnacle of power in the entire Western Continent!
In other words, he will soon be invincible across the entire western continent!
General Groot said with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, you mean..."

King Kunard was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I heard that this one is preparing to start building a city."

"Let's go there ourselves once his giant city is completed..."

Upon hearing this, Groot's expression shifted slightly.

He didn't ask what he was going to do, but respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

...

Besides these two kingdoms.

Queen Yulan and King Bingjing were also very surprised when they learned of this news.

But they soon reacted.

At the same time, they also deduced Cao Xing's current strength in their minds. After some thought, the two kings immediately summoned some trusted confidants from within the palace for a discussion meeting.

The meeting focused on Cao Xing.

...

...

Nearly two thousand people stood in the plaza next to the arena, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the gladiatorial combatants.

Even Kai Lan, who was bound hand and foot, craned his neck in the crowd, gazing at the ancient building.

Everyone was waiting for Cao Xing to appear, wondering whether he could pass the final trial.
However... almost half an hour has passed since Cao Xing passed the fifth round, and there is still no sign of him coming out.

The crowd began to grow restless.

One of the mercenaries whispered among themselves, "Lord Cao Xing has been inside for so long, even if it's a more difficult trial, it should be over by now."

"And he hasn't come out yet. Do you think... he might have failed the challenge?"

Upon hearing this guess, the people in the room were slightly startled, and then they began to whisper among themselves.

Many people also believe that Cao Xing may have failed in his challenge.

After all, no powerful individual had ever undergone the so-called final trial before.

No one knew what was going on inside.

But it goes without saying that this final trial must be very difficult.

Seeing this, Kai Lan, who was bound hand and foot, let out a cold laugh: "Heh... this arrogant guy has definitely failed the challenge!"

"Even my father wasn't confident he could pass this trial, so how could he possibly succeed?"

"I reckon this guy is seriously injured and too ashamed to show his face, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, a death dagger gleaming with an eerie light was pressed against his neck.

Sarah said coldly, "Say another word, and I'll send you to hell to meet the real Grim Reaper..."

This unexpected scene once again attracted everyone's attention.

Nearly two thousand eyes were fixed on the field.

Seeing this once arrogant North Wind Prince now reduced to a prisoner, even threatened with death, is truly heartbreaking.

This has never happened in hundreds of years.

Many mercenaries quickly pressed the communication devices on their ears to relay what was happening here.

Feeling the cold blade against his neck, Kai Lan opened his mouth.

He could sense from the dark elf assassin's eyes that the other party truly intended to kill him.

The shadow of death coiled around his heart like a venomous snake, sending a chill down Kai Lan's spine!
But... he was being watched by so many people, including his target: the Rose Goddess - Talia.

After seeing Talia's indifferent expression.

A strong sense of humiliation welled up inside me, even overpowering my fear of death!
Kai Lan suddenly opened his eyes and roared angrily, "You bastards, if you have the guts, kill me now!"

"If I die, my father will surely lead the entire North Wind Alliance to avenge me!"

"And this will inevitably ignite a war that will engulf several kingdoms!"

"No matter how strong you are, you can't possibly stand against the power of the entire North Wind Alliance!"

"At that time, even your lowly lord will be buried with me!"

Sarah wasn't the only one who heard this.

Isabel, Bronn, Malenina, and the others standing nearby all turned cold!
Assam drew his longsword with a clang, "Anyone who insults the lord deserves death!"

In an instant, he raised the Lake Maiden's Sword high, and a terrifying sword aura began to accumulate!
Elisa, Renis, and the others nearby also drew their bows to their fullest extent!
They would not hesitate to act and kill the North Wind Prince if he made the first move.

Sensing the killing intent of the crowd, Kai Lan, who had just been shouting, suddenly felt a little guilty.

Although he acted hysterically, as if he was ready to fight to the death.

However, he knew better than anyone the value of his life.

After all, as a genius that the Northern Wind Kingdom has only seen once every few centuries, if he were to die here, he would truly have nothing left.

As long as I am alive, there are endless possibilities in the future, and I may even get a glimpse of that more mysterious realm.

But in front of so many people, he couldn't show weakness, so he continued to stare at everyone with a ferocious expression.

The situation in the entire square instantly became tense.

Upon seeing this, the mercenaries retreated, fearing they would be drawn into the conflict.

After all, if Prince North Wind were to die here, especially in front of so many people, what would happen?

That would truly be a major event that would shock half of the Western Continent!
And the North Wind King, that immortal demonic body, will surely instigate a large-scale war.

At that time, the harm caused will be no less than that of bloodshed.

Many people on the field might also perish along with it.

At this thought, a look of fear appeared on the faces of the mercenaries.

At this moment when tensions were running high and the atmosphere was at its most oppressive.

The entire ruins suddenly trembled slightly.

"Boom..."

The next moment, a vast aura descended like a tsunami!
This aura far exceeded the limits of the legendary level, and even faintly touched the realm of demigods, instantly enveloping the entire ruins.

Everyone felt a heavy pressure coming down on them!

At the same time, everyone heard a strong and energetic call.

"Kai Lan, where are you!"

The sound was like a thunderclap, carrying the force of a gale, and quickly swept across the entire ruins.

Even the lords who were exploring the outskirts heard the call.

They all stopped what they were doing, looking puzzled.

Upon hearing this figure in the square, Kai Lan's fear vanished, replaced by ecstatic joy!

"This aura... belongs to my father!"

"Great! My father has arrived! Hahahaha!"

At that moment, he laughed loudly, as if he had been saved.

At the same time, the demonic sword in Kai Lan's spatial backpack flew out automatically and soared into the sky, unleashing a monstrous aura!

Meanwhile, in the outer city, the figure rushing along sensed the response from the demonic sword.

It immediately locked onto its target and began speeding towards the inner city!
Everyone in the square felt a suffocating pressure rapidly approaching.

It felt like a natural disaster was about to strike, sending chills and fears through people's hearts.

At that moment, Sarah and the others, who were preparing to unleash a fatal blow, stopped what they were doing.

They weren't actually afraid of this so-called North Wind King.

After all, these people combined could even kill a demigod.

And this King of the North Wind hasn't even reached the demigod realm yet!

Right now, they are simply considering how to handle this unexpected situation.

The situation became even more complicated with the arrival of the North Wind King.

Before the lord appeared, they didn't know what to do.

We can't really kill King Northwind and his son together, can we?

At that time, it won't just be this ruin that will tremble; half of the Western Continent will be shaken!
At this moment, Kai Lan, seeing everyone's reaction, thought they were scared.

He immediately smugly shouted, "Heh... are you scared now?"

"Let me tell you, it's too late!"

"When my father arrives, you will all receive the most severe punishment!"

"Even if you are legends, you will pay a heavy price."

On the field, everyone ignored the North Wind Prince and waited quietly for the North Wind King to arrive.

The aura drew closer, and the oppressive feeling grew stronger.

In the blink of an eye, a cold wind carrying ice crystals swept across the entire battlefield.

The falling ice crystals struck everyone's armor, making a crisp 'clinking' sound that made everyone instinctively close their eyes.

As the howling wind dissipated, it transformed into a middle-aged man wearing dark blue armor and a snow wolf pelt.

Although he looked somewhat weathered, his features still resembled those of Kai Lan.

His deep brown eyes held an air of boundless majesty.

Like an emperor surveying the world, he swept his gaze over Sarah and the others.

Clearly, this person is the North Wind King.

That legendary figure with the title of "Immortal Demon Body"—Armor!

When Kai's gaze fell on Kai Lan, who was bound by holy light chains and twisted into a pretzel shape, his brows furrowed slightly.

An invisible pressure suddenly erupted, as if a king were enraged!
A strong wind also swept through the area!

The mercenaries were blown about by the strong wind, and a sense of fear welled up in their hearts!
Just when they thought a major battle was about to break out.

However, the North Wind King did not act immediately.

Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Release Lan'er."
