Chapter 175 Selling the Title of King, Greatly Increasing Wealth
A powerful and invincible king was specifically targeted, and for the next tens of thousands of years, the demon kings in the outer battlefields suffered terribly.
Lin Yuan's physical attacks are sharp; when unleashed at full power, even a peak-level expert would be knocked into a deep sleep by a single blow.
Moreover, he would fire one shot and then move to another location. After killing one or two demon kings in one extraterrestrial battlefield, he would randomly move to another battlefield, giving the enemy no chance to surround him.
Most importantly, the Blazing Cloud God's inheritance ground collapsed in less than four years. Even if the demon race's intelligence department were to kill them, they would never have imagined that Lin Yuan would reach the final level in such a short time. Therefore, in their minds, he was still just a soul master with a material attack.
In this way, Lin Yuan brought the Sixteen-Character Mantra to its fullest potential, capturing more than 600 powerful demon kings in just 40,000 years, as well as several insectoid and mechanical races.
Of course, you're bound to run into trouble eventually. When he attacked a top-tier mechanical king, he didn't expect that the opponent was hiding a powerful material defense artifact. As a result, he failed to kill the opponent instantly, allowing him to transmit his information and thus exposing his identity.
Although Lin Yuan obtained a valuable treasure after killing his opponent with a soul attack, he could not continue to act recklessly, so he reduced the frequency of his attacks afterward.
After all, the demon race values a newly emerging genius differently from an old fellow that even a Venerable like himself couldn't handle.
……
The headquarters of Virtual Universe Company on the mainland, in the living room of Lin Yuan's mansion.
The Dark Moon King appeared silently. This top-tier expert from the intelligence department was dressed in deep purple armor, with cascading silver hair and deep, unfathomable eyes.
She looked at Lin Yuan with a familiar smile, and her cool voice rang out: "Chaos King, you said in your email that you gained a lot this time. I came with full sincerity, and I hope you will not disappoint me."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, said nothing more, and his mind stirred.
The space in the center of the living room distorted slightly, and a figure appeared out of thin air, crashing heavily onto the polished floor.
This was a humanoid creature with huge blue wings on its back. At this moment, her eyes were closed and her aura was extremely weak, but the pressure emanating from her, belonging to a peak-level King-level expert, was still impossible to ignore.
"Azure Wing King?" Dark Moon King looked surprised. She subconsciously stood up, quickly walked to the other party's side, and carefully scanned him with her divine sense.
After confirming that everything was correct, she looked up at Lin Yuan, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration: "Chaos King, what skill! This Azure Wing King is among the top five strongest kings in the Peacock Clan today, and he even escaped from a king-level expert before. I never expected that you would capture him alive."

The shock she felt was indescribable.
Capturing a peak-level King, especially the Azure Wing King known for his speed and unpredictability, is far more difficult than killing him. It requires not only overwhelming strength but also precise control.
Lin Yuan remained calm, as if he had only done something insignificant: "Just luck."
He clearly didn't want to reveal any more details.
Dark Moon King took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, sat back down, and regained the composure and professionalism of an intelligence elite.
She pondered for a moment, then tapped her fingertips lightly in the air, bringing up a virtual screen to access the internal database.
"Qingyi Wang, a Soul Master at the peak of the King level, has a bounty of 300 billion Chaos Units within the Hong Alliance, but this is only the bounty for killing her."
The Dark Moon King's voice grew even more serious: "As far as my intelligence department is concerned, a living, peak-level Soul Master is worth far more than the bounty."
She looked at Lin Yuan, her gaze intense: "Based on the department's internal evaluation system, combined with his strength level, Soul Master status, and potential value... I, on behalf of the intelligence department, offer Qingyi King a price of 540 billion Chaos Units!"
Upon hearing this number, even Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Seventy-four hundred billion, that's almost one-fifteenth the value of an ordinary treasure!
It should be noted that the total wealth of many top-tier experts who have reached the King level is only around one trillion Chaos Yuan units.
Dark Moon King seemed to notice Lin Yuan's surprise and took the initiative to explain: "The peak of the King-level is valuable in itself, and she is a Soul Master. After being enslaved, she can play a role far exceeding that of other martial artists of the same level."
Furthermore, the Azure Wing King holds a special position within the Peacock Clan. Controlling her soul holds immeasurable strategic value for understanding certain core intelligence networks and internal factional struggles within the Demon Clan.
At this point, she blinked, "Besides, I think the deal you specifically called me here for must be more than just this. For the sake of future cooperation, I have to let you have a taste of the benefits first!"
Lin Yuan nodded, agreeing with the explanation. "Alright, the Azure Wing King is yours."
A satisfied smile appeared on the Dark Moon King's face as he waved his hand and put the sleeping Azure Wing King into a specially made world ring.
The deal was struck, but she didn't relax; instead, her eyes brightened even more: "Now, can we talk about other business?"
"Of course." Lin Yuan's smile deepened, and he said no more, his mind racing.
In an instant, figures appeared out of thin air in the center of the living room, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, densely packed together, quickly filling the large space.
These figures vary in shape, but most are similar in size to or slightly larger than humans, and can be displayed in the living room.
Without exception, they all exuded varying degrees of king-level aura, and all of them were asleep.
"There are also some enormous divine bodies in the world rings; you can take a look." Lin Yuan handed the other party a world ring.
Three hundred and sixty-seven people were granted the title of Prince (initial rank)!
One hundred and eighty-nine individuals were granted the title of King or higher!
Sixty-three people reached the pinnacle of their royal titles!
Nineteen people have been crowned kings – the limit!
A total of 638 people from different races were granted the title of Immortal King!
When the inventory was completed, even the Dark Moon King, a high-ranking official in the intelligence department and a man of great experience, was taken aback by the sheer volume of goods before him.
More than 600 people were granted the title of king!
This is almost equivalent to the entire King-level combat power that a powerful clan would deploy on a certain extraterritorial battlefield, and now Lin Yuan alone has captured him alive in just tens of thousands of years. What kind of terrifying strength does this require?
"This...this..." The Dark Moon King's voice trembled for the first time. She took several deep breaths before she could barely calm her turbulent emotions.
Her gaze toward Lin Yuan had shifted from one of respect to one of deep awe. She finally understood why the Shadow Monarch valued this Chaos King so highly.
"Chaos King...you...you really are..." Dark Moon King couldn't find the right words to describe the shock in his heart.
Lin Yuan remained calm, as if he had simply emptied his own warehouse: "Dark Moon King, quote a price according to the rules."
Darkmoon King composed himself and forced himself into a working state.
She knew this would be the largest single purchase by the intelligence services in nearly a hundred million years.
She brought up the virtual screen again, her fingers flying across it. Her powerful divine sense swept over each sleeping king on the ground like a scanner, quickly identifying their identities, strength levels, and characteristics.
The entire living room fell silent as time ticked by.
Finally, after about half an hour, the Dark Moon King stopped what he was doing, let out a long sigh, and looked at Lin Yuan with a complicated expression.
"Chaos King, the identities and strengths of all the Sleepers have been verified." Her voice returned to its cold tone. "Based on the intelligence department's assessment standards and the current situation on the extraterritorial battlefield, we are now presenting the final price list."
She looked at Lin Yuan and began to explain in detail: "First is the initial level of the King title, totaling 367 people. The intelligence department usually buys them back for around 30 billion Mixed Yuan units."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Darkmoon King changed the subject: "However, a considerable number of your prisoners are Soul Masters, a proportion far exceeding the average."
You are well aware of the value of the Soul Master; he plays a vital role in intelligence work and special missions.
Therefore, we will offer a significant premium on the base price for these Soul Master captives.
In summary, we can give an average valuation of 70 billion Mixed Yuan Units for this batch of newly conferred King-level titles.
"Seven hundred billion?" A glint of light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. This premium was quite considerable.
"Yes," the Dark Moon King affirmed, "the scarcity and strategic value of Soul Masters justify this price. Three hundred and sixty-seven initial-level Kings would cost a total of 256.9 billion Chaos Units."
"Okay." Lin Yuan was satisfied with the pricing.
"Next are the high-ranking kings, a total of one hundred and eighty-nine," King Dark Moon continued.
"The recycling price of a regular high-level king is approximately 150 billion."
Similarly, considering the significant proportion of Soul Masters among them, we give an average valuation of 230 billion Mixed Yuan Units per unit, totaling 43.47 trillion Mixed Yuan Units.
Lin Yuan nodded again; the price was in line with his expectations.
"Then comes the peak of the King-level, sixty-three in total." The Dark Moon King's expression became even more serious. "The peak of the King-level is extremely valuable, with a base buyback price of around 500 billion."
Although the proportion of Soul Masters has decreased significantly, some individuals hold special status within their respective groups and possess extremely high intelligence value.
Therefore, our average valuation is 670 billion mixed units, totaling 42.21 trillion mixed units.
"Six hundred and seventy billion..." Lin Yuan quickly calculated in his mind. This was slightly lower than he had expected, but considering that most of them were martial artists, the price was reasonable.
"Finally, there are the nineteen Kings at the limit." The Dark Moon King's voice was solemn: "Each King at the limit is a strategic resource. The core secrets they possess and their importance to their respective races far exceed those of other levels. Their basic buyback price is at least 1.5 trillion Chaos Units."
Lin Yuan listened quietly, knowing that the important part was coming.
Lin Yuan listened quietly, knowing that the important part was coming.
"However," the Dark Moon King emphasized, "when the intelligence agencies acquire these items, they value not only their combat capabilities, but also the secrets in their minds!"
Whether it's the core inherited information of the demon race, the cutting-edge technological blueprints of the mechanical race, or the mother nest network nodes of the insect race, their value is immeasurable in monetary terms.
Therefore, for the ultimate capture of a king, we will add an extremely high intelligence premium to the base price.
After comprehensive evaluation, we set the average valuation of these nineteen individuals who have reached the pinnacle of power at 2.38 trillion Chaos Units per unit.
"Two trillion three hundred and eighty billion..."
Lin Yuan was shocked. This price far exceeded the total wealth of an ordinary King-level expert, but considering the strategic advantages that the intelligence department might gain from obtaining these secrets, the premium seemed reasonable.
The Dark Moon King looked at Lin Yuan and said, "If there are no problems, then complete the transaction at these prices. The total estimated value of all the sleeping King-level experts is 1,565,900 billion Chaos Units."
She paused, then added, "According to the internal exchange rules of the clan, 1 Treasure Point can be exchanged for approximately 10 trillion Chaos Units."
Therefore, the total price of this transaction is approximately 15.659 Treasure Points. Chaos King, are you satisfied with this offer?
Although he had expected it, Lin Yuan's heart still tightened when the Dark Moon King uttered the number.
Fifteen treasure points!
This is already an incredibly impressive fortune. You have to understand that he had only accumulated more than sixty treasure points after fighting on the battlefields beyond the realm for nearly a million years.
However, once his strength reached the level of being invincible as a king, his gains from just 40,000 years of wanton slaughter were equivalent to a quarter of what he had gained before, not to mention that Lin Yuan also acquired other spoils of war during the process.
Lin Yuan nodded slightly: "The intelligence department's quotes are always fair. I accept this price."
Upon hearing this, the Dark Moon King breathed a sigh of relief.
This deal was so large that its successful completion was of great significance to both her and the intelligence community.
She immediately reported this to the Shadow Monarch, and subsequently a huge sum of money was transferred from the intelligence department's public account to Lin Yuan's private account.
……
Watching the once powerful alien races being taken away like merchandise, Lin Yuan felt no emotion.
The laws of survival in the universe are inherently cruel; if he hadn't been stronger today, the outcome might have been reversed.
"Congratulations, Chaos King." After completing the handover, Dark Moon King looked at Lin Yuan. "This wealth is enough to make many newly promoted Universe Venerables take notice."
"It's all just luck," Lin Yuan said with a faint smile.
"This isn't luck." The Dark Moon King shook his head. "Without sufficient strength, even if they were all severely wounded and lying in front of you, you still couldn't capture them."
Having said that, the Dark Moon King did not linger any longer. He took the world ring containing the power of over six hundred King-level experts and slowly disappeared from the living room.
