Divine Brilliance - Chapter 754
Chapter 754: Juntian Fist Armor
30 days had passed and when only 1,000 Mind Stones remained, Zong Shou stopped the time acceleration and kept the Book of Eon.
He didn’t have many Mind Stones left and the God Spirit Power accumulated was also mostly used up.
His comprehension of the Sword Path and Spiritual Cultivation had reached a bottleneck. There were no more benefits if he continued.
Unless there was a fortuitous encounter or if his realm increased. If not, it would be tough for him to improve anymore.
At this moment, his skin was covered in a thin layer of yellow glow that couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.
Beneath it, there were threads of Spiritual Patterns like the surface of those Beast Crystals.
When the God Power was totally digested, the strength of his physical body had increased. However, at around 70%, it was already at its limit.
Following this, the God Spirit Power was transformed into these patterns.
“They said that people are a type of ancient beast, it really makes sense!”
Only people with enough cultivation and who gathered Soul Power in their eyes could see these Spiritual Patterns.
They looked extremely beautiful and exquisite, whilst giving off a noble and majestic feel.
However, Zong Shou knew that it wasn’t only nice to look at.
Not long ago he tried. Once he used True Qi, it could cause his skin to become tougher and increase his blocking ability. His strength would also explosively increase, become close to twice as strong.
Zong Shou reached out and took a piece of armor which only had the arm portion.
This was the Juntian Fist Armor he snatched from Wuxuan.
He exchanged Wuxuan’s head, but he had kept the armor. Sky Demon Vast Habitat also didn’t ask him back for it.
However, this time it was corrupted by Demonic Energy so he didn’t use it. He just carried it by his side, when he was free he would use the Swallow and Purify Talismans to purify it. He also let Hanxi burn it using Saint Fire.
Along with the use of the Book of Eon, dozens of years had passed.
However, there were still threads of Demonic Energy within the armor that couldn’t be wiped out.
Who knows what methods the Sky Demon Vast Habitat used to turn a perfectly good armor into a Demonic Artifact, corrupting its source.
Without 40-50 years, he wouldn’t be able to convert it.
Zong Shou hesitated but he still stretched his hand and reached into the armor.
He instantly felt many inversed spikes stab into his flesh. However, his skin rejected it and blocked it out.
There was a violent intent that rose up in his mind.
The intent flowed and his eyes turned red.
All of a sudden, many violent and horrifying thoughts flashed in his mind. He felt hatred rise up in his chest for no reason.
He only wanted to kill. Kill! Kill! Kill! To destroy and wipe out everything in front of him.
His armor could become stronger. He just needed to swallow all the flesh and blood on Gantian Mountain and he would be invincible!
A moment later, he calmed back down.
“I really underestimated Wuxuan!”
To be able to suppress the Demonic Energy within and not be overwhelmed by it, his heart was really amazing.
Even if that fellow was obviously sick in the head…
In the next moment, his lip curled up.
“As expected, no evil can enter and no Demon can touch my body! Speaking of which, how can I be the Saint King? Where did this Saint King energy come from?”
He was filled with many questions. How could such a lazy person who didn’t touch any government matters become Saint King? That didn’t make sense. What was the reason?
He shook his head and pushed aside his thoughts as he looked forward once more.
Those invading Demonic thoughts were purified and cleared by the Saint King Energy in his body.
The remaining Energy went back into the Juntian Fist Armor to hide, nowhere to be seen.
Zong Shou’s thoughts also stretched to the core of the armor with no restriction.
But, at this moment he fully grasped the armor! The spikes instantly retracted.
The armor went from its original black to red! It was tightly stuck to his skin like it was a portion of his body. He didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
Zong Shou waved his fists and the entire room instantly twisted.
Right as it was about to collapse, the 20-foot wide room returned back to normal, there was no damage to it all.
A bright glow flashed in his eyes.
“Two times strength! True Qi, Soul Power and also this strength were all increased by two times! Wuxuan really wasn’t wasting his time!”
Unlike the Spiritual Artifacts he used before which would only buff a certain spell or increase some strength, this was an all-rounded increase!
It was like his strength had doubled.
To him, it was not just that…
Naturally, the strength of the country he borrowed couldn’t be doubled.
However, his current combat strength had increased by 20%!
If a pair of fist armor could do that, then what was the strength of the full Juntian Armor?
Zong Shou couldn’t help but be distracted as he thought about it. Then, he shook his head.
The distance between him and those few Overlords of the end of the Cloud Desolate Era couldn’t be calculated with logic.
With a thought, the armor merged into his skin and totally disappeared.
Zong Shou also walked out of the room, only to see Xuanyuan Yiren, Ruoshui and Shi Ruolan, as well as Renbo and the few Gantian officials waiting quietly. Most of them had worried looks on their faces.
Zong Shou smiled at them and then gave Yiren and Ruoshui a reassuring glance. He flew up into the air toward the Southwest.
There was no use saying anything now. Only by passing the tribulation and entering Spirit Realm could he make these people truly relax.
Yiren and Ruoshui knew his trump cards and thus, they didn’t worry much.
However, when Zong Shou stepped into the air, Xuanyuan Yiren couldn’t help but say, “The lightning tribulation is dangerous! You are skilled and are also the Ruler of a country. It wouldn’t be the usual tribulation. Be careful!”
After saying this, she shot three Red Pills in the air, “These are the Tribulation Passing Pills I refined, they’ll help you out!”
Zong Shou reached out and kept them into his sleeves. He thought back to the information about the pill and knew the ability of this item.
It was actually a Grade-9 Spiritual Pill. Its use was just for tribulations and it was said that it could reduce the strength of them.
Who knows where she got the recipe from, she actually succeeded in refining it.
Although Zong Shou didn’t plan on using it, he was happy. He carefully kept it into his Heaven and Earth Bag.
He felt warm in his heart. His wife truly loved and adored him the most.
He traveled south toward the platform and left Gantian Mountain.
Zong Shou traveled in the air and spread out his Spiritual Sense, covering 200 miles of land.
“Wow, what a mess!”
When his Spiritual Sense covered the area, he could sense 50 Spirit Realm Experts.
There were some curious about him, some with nefarious intentions, but most of them didn’t notice.
Zong Shou squinted, he was originally not worried about them. However, moments later, he looked to the south with a sharp gaze.
Only to see a Spirit Realm Cultivator standing on the road in the east…
He was wearing a black shirt and his face was white. There were dozens of broken Cloud Crossing Carriages around him and hundreds of corpses.
Blood was flowing, forming a blood sacrifice formation. The Cultivator’s eyes turned red. His body was covered in a layer of blood mist.
“Yuanshi Demon Sect? Blood River Sacrifice! You dare to obtain my people’s blood in Gantian Mountain, you really are bold!”
Zong Shou’s eyes turned sharp. He didn’t use a sword, instead directly punching from 120 miles away.
The 100 miles of space stacked due to the giant strength. The space pillars were also smashed.
Soul Realm Peak Sword Intent was hidden and smashed down.
The person in the distance was focussing on obtaining the blood mist and wasn’t alert. By the time he noticed the strike, it was too late to dodge it. His face turned ashen white and his eyes were filled with fear.
However, at this moment, the space behind him was also broken open.
A giant palm also struck over. A majestic voice echoed from afar.
“Does Ruler need to be so angry? He is my Yuanshi Demon Sect’s outer region disciple and doesn’t know your rules. Actually, what is the point for some worthless lives…”
Before he finished, the fist and palm clashed. The 1,000-foot palm was unable to block and was flung away.
Under the power of the fist, the Demon Path Cultivator was smashed to pieces!
In an instant, all the Cultivators within 100 miles sent their Spiritual Sense over.
Even the lower Cultivators could sense the intense Spiritual Energy fluctuation.
The voice was filled with both shock and rage.
“Gantian Monster King, Blood Sword Monster Lord! You really have no regard for my Yuanshi Demon Sect! You are about to face your tribulation, I really want to see how you are going to survive. In 3 days, I will massacre your Gantian Mountain City…”
Zong Shou couldn’t be bothered saying anything. Would they show mercy if he left the guy alive?
He had locked this person down and used his words filled with Demonic rhythm to try to increase his fear of the tribulation.
His aura was continuously changing as it alternated between real and fake, constantly shining as it emanated.
With a thought, the Nameless Sword flew out from his sleeves. He grabbed it and then powerfully slashed forward into the space in front of him.
The space in front of him was like a giant canvas being cut open from the middle. Energy surged 10,000 feet, the chill from the sword reaching 1,000 miles!
A sharp cry broke out 100 feet away. There was just one sound before everything became silent again.
Zong Shou’s Sword Light retracted and the head of an old man was brought back to his side.
It was a 70-year-old man with a Demon Bat mark on his forehead.
His brow rose up. So, this was Old Man Demon Bat. This fellow was a little boss in the God Emperor game 10,000 years ago.
Who knew that he would kill him with one strike today.
At this moment, all the Spirit Realm Experts within 100 miles were all terrified.
