BXBX NOVEL Chapter 564: Divine Armor
Ten days later, Tyrant and Fang Xingjian stood next to each other in the Sacred Land.
"Weaponry and armor have always been extremely important to Knight experts," Tyrant said. "The Knight experts of history, especially the Divine level experts who have left their names behind in history, tend to have their own armor and weapon as well. When a powerful person is equipped with powerful Divine Remains Equipment, they will undoubtedly enjoy great success in their endeavors.
"With this set of armor that the Fifth Prince has sent over, as well as the Divine Sword forged from that Divine level spinal bone, your battle prowess can be at least two times stronger than before.
"But..."
Tyrant sighed, saying, "Right now, you don’t have the Origin Essence Stone, Are you not going to strive to attain brain regeneration before completing the tenth level of mystical prints?"
Fang Xingjian said nonchalantly, "Brain regeneration will not be able to bring me a qualitative increase to my current battle prowess. I might as well try for it after gaining the tenth level of the mystical prints."
As Tyrant and Fang Xingjian were conversing, Fang Xingjian’s only disciple, Lilia, was currently amassing sword light on the training grounds before them. She slowly pushed the longsword in her hand, performing sword moves bit by bit while appearing to be as slow as a snail.
If an expert were to see this, they would be able to sense the waves of destructive powers on the tip of Lilia’s longsword.
Tyrant looked at Lilia, who was training seriously, and said, "You want to nurture this disciple? You’ve even imparted your Five God-Slaying Swords to her?"
Fang Xingjian nodded. It was true that the people under him were not powerful enough. A primary reason for this was that they had only recently cultivated to the fifth level of the mystical prints and had yet to have enough time to use up the talents they had gained.
However, considering how Lilia revered Fang Xingjian as if he were a god, it showed there was value in nurturing her.
Therefore, Fang Xingjian imparted the Five God-Slaying Swords to her. It was a pity that although she had help from the fifth level of the mystical prints, her talent in sword arts was still a far cry from Fang Xingjian’s. Therefore, amongst the five swords, Lilia was only able to better comprehend the All-Conquering sword. It was also the reason why she had focused on specially cultivating this particular sword technique.
As she moved the sword slowly, Lilia was slashing the physical particles in the air, bit by bit. It could be said that each step she advanced was more difficult than slashing 1,000 people.
Just then, Fang Qian came over with Wang Xiaoyan. During the past few days, she had been helping Wang Xiaoyan in forging that Four-Eyed Heavenly Winged Armor.
As a great genius from Earth, Fang Qian’s educational background was much higher than that of Fang Xingjian. She was extremely familiar with the various information of mathematics, biology, and chemistry. It was also why she had managed to be selected by Li Shuanghua and sent to work with the First Prince in learning the means of forging Divine Remains Equipments.
During the past few days, she had been having exchanges and working together with Wang Xiaoyan. Wang Xiaoyan was amazed by Fang Qian’s various knowledge which surpassed what was available in Miracle World. On the other hand, Fang Qian was constantly learning from Wang Xiaoyan the techniques of forging Divine Remains Equipment, a legacy which Wang Xiaoyan had inherited from the Mountainous Sea Dynasty.
Fang Qian said, "The Divine Armor is done."
"Oh?" Fang Xingjian looked toward Fang Qian’s head, slightly surprised. He then saw that a Four-Eyed Heavenly Winged Beast the size of a child’s palm had emerged from amidst her thick long hair. It was looking curiously toward the surroundings.
Wang Xiaoyan looked at this Divine Remains Equipment with great emotion. "This should be the best equipment that I have had forged in my life. With this experience, I’ll be even more confident in helping to forge the equipment using the Divine level spinal bone next."
Fang Xingjian looked at that small beast and said, slightly surprised, "You revived it?"
"It’s not considered to be revived. Its original will has been forcibly crushed to become a pure source of energy. This one that you’re looking at, if we’re to use an analogy, it’s more similar to being just a life form’s brain and intelligence," Fang Qian said. "On Earth, there had long been plans of using life forms to create armors, but there have been restrictions in the materials and the intelligence system. I can’t believe that the problems have been resolved here.
"This is like refining a living Divine level ferocious beast into an armor. It has a certain amount of intelligence and will continue to eat, evolve, and adapt to the environment, gaining more and more power."
Fang Qian then placed the small beast in Fang Xingjian’s hands. He asked, "How do I use i?" The small beast laid quietly on Fang Xingjian’s hand, seemingly totally unafraid of strangers. It just looked quietly at Fang Xingjian, not moving at all.
Lilia, who was at the side, also walked over. She looked at the small beast in Fang Xingjian’s hands, and her eyes sparkled. "It’s so cute."
Fang Qian said, "Put your finger into its mouth and let it take your blood. You’re a Demigod with three tiers of perfection. Your blood will not only have information regarding your physical body but also your powerful martial will. After it has taken your blood, it will remember you."
Hearing that, Fang Xingjian placed his finger into the small beast’s mouth and then relaxed the toughness of his body. As the heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetic forces continued to weaken, his finger reached about the same level of toughness as that of an ordinary Conferred Knight.
The small beast bit his finger, creating a small wound, and started taking in Fang Xingjian’s fresh blood. It then licked Fang Xingjian’s wound, and strong medicinal powers took effect, quickly healing Fang Xingjian’s wound.
As if sensing Fang Xingjian was baffled, Wang Xiaoyan explained, "This is the Mountainous Sea Dynasty’s secret arts—the Medicinal Armor Art. We spent over two million gold and used over 500 types of medicinal herbs to break its body system completely. This allowed the blood in its body to turn into medicine while it continued to ceaselessly absorb ether particles.
"With this, as long as you have the armor on, its medicinal prowess will continue to seep into your blood. Not only will it be able to heal your injuries at any moment, it can also continue to replenish your physical body. It can even have a subtle influence in strengthening your physical body."
"This money was well spent." Fang Xingjian smiled. "How do I put it on?"
Fang Qian said, "It should have already accepted the information of your physical body as well as your martial will. Try using Heaven’s Perception directly to transmit information onto it."
"Equip my body."
At the next moment, the small beast’s body underwent an astonishing change. It expanded at a rapid speed, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a set of golden armor, wrapping up Fang Xingjian’s body entirely.
The moment it wrapped around Fang Xingjian, countless flesh spikes pierced onto Fang Xingjian’s body directly. At this moment, Fang Xingjian was still wearing the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor, yet the spikes had pierced through it instantly. Then, like a monster at mealtime, the spikes immediately ate up the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor.
The entire golden armor vibrated, absorbing the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor into its body through the spikes. The Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor’s consciousness let out agonizing cries like it wanted to struggle. However, it was completely destroyed amidst a wave of golden light.
The Divine Armor then continued to pierce through Fang Xingjian’s physical body. The toughness of a level 32 material was not something which Fang Xingjian’s current body could be a match for.
Back then, when Fang Xingjian was attacking the Fifth Prince, he could not do anything to this set of armor. He could only use the sword of Infiltrating Void to pass through this layer of defense and to strike the Fifth Prince’s body directly.
As many spikes pierced into Fang Xingjian’s body, strong medicinal powers surged in, incessantly exchanging with the blood in his body. It could be said that the impurities in his body were being cleansed constantly, and Fang Xingjian’s physical body continued to strengthen and heal.
The even more amazing thing was that a gush of golden will connected together with that of Fang Xingjian, filling up every inch of space around him.
In that instant, Fang Xingjian was already completely wrapped up by this streamlined golden armor.
Although Fang Xingjian had yet to reach the Divine level, now that he had this set of level 32 armor, he was now able to use the materialized will in the Divine Armor or even borrow the will from the Divine Armor and turn it into his flesh and blood.
It was just that the Divine Armor’s willpower was not as strong as that of the Divine level World Annihilation Heavenly Lord.
However, it could be said that after putting on this Divine Armor and then putting its will to use, Fang Xingjian gained some ability to be able to materialize his will, as well as to convert it into flesh and blood.
His defense had even reached level 32. Additionally, even if his opponent was able to pass through space to attack, with Fang Xingjian’s recovery abilities in combination with the Divine Armor’s medicinal abilities, he would be able to recover instantly.
Furthermore, with Fang Xingjian’s sword skills, he still had the confidence to be able to put up a good fight against the World Annihilation Heavenly Lord even if he did not choose to activate the Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent. Although he might not be able to win, he was not afraid of the World Annihilation Heavenly Lord at all.
Thinking of this, Fang Xingjian let out a long whistle and could not wait to want to try out the prowess of the Divine Armor. He suddenly punched out toward Tyrant, who was next to him. Tyrant’s eyes flashed, and he did not hesitate in fending off Fang Xingjian’s fist with his palm. However, his countenance changed immediately, and he activated the Gates of the Netherworld to absorb Fang Xingjian’s power. After doing so, he retreated a few steps back while covered in cold sweat. His entire arm had turned completely numb from the trembles.
Initially, despite being at three tiers of perfection and having over 10,000 specialty seeds, Fang Xingjian’s physical strength could not gain an advantage over Tyrant, who had engulfed two Divine level magic prints Warriors.
However, right now, with the addition of the power from the Divine Armor’s will, he could crush Tyrant with just his physical body alone.
Additionally, Fang Xingjian’s deathly sword intent, together with the Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent in his consciousness and the Divine Armor’s will, now made the power of his will far surpass that of all the other Conferred Knights.
Fang Xingjian was truly invincible amongst those below the Divine level.
Tyrant’s countenance turned grim as he said, "What a good Divine level armor. What name are you planning to give it?"
