Chapter 1360 - 760: Divine Amber Core, Lishan Mountain Night Banquet!

Chapter 1360: Chapter 760: Divine Amber Core, Lishan Mountain Night Banquet!

He gently touched the layers of armor climbing up his chest, feeling utterly comfortable in commanding it.

His torso was enveloped in a matte black armor, which extended to his limbs.

On each shoulder sat a menacing beast’s head, gripping his upper and lower arms and encircling his fingers. At his knees were black dragon claw-like spikes, serving both to damage foes and to bolster defense.

The craftsmanship of the armor suggests not only was Grandmaster Yang skilled but also had a keen sense of beauty.

Meng Chuan was particularly fond of the new fierce design, adding a heaviness and oppression absent before.

Previously, he thought it made him look like a black hedgehog, covered in spikes...

Black scales surged upward from his neck, perfectly conforming to his face, covering even his eyes.

Meng Chuan opened his eyes, black scales pressed against his eyelids and filled his eye sockets, ensuring not a strip of skin was exposed when they closed again.

He moved his limbs, feeling no stiffness, and despite wearing armor weighing hundreds of tons, it felt light as a feather.

Gradually, a flow of information rose to his mind, akin to the spirit born of the fifth-grade fierceness reaching out to him.

A refreshing sensation first entered his mind, then connected with the inner and outer world. The joy in Meng Chuan’s heart far exceeded his initial expectations!

"Father-in-law, how generous!"

The beast scales, hundred-ton magic iron essence, and innate lightning used in the forging were all expenses borne by him.

These materials undoubtedly cost a lot, and without several thousand special battle merits, they couldn’t be procured.

Meng Chuan silently noted the kindness in his heart, promising to repay him someday.

Though one could argue, he wasn’t treating old Yang’s daughter poorly...

Coming back to his senses, Meng Chuan saw the armor fully formed.

From the black faceplate, two points of divine light shone through. As his gaze roamed, Meng Chuan was evidently very pleased with the fierceness after ascending to fifth-grade.

The previously protruding sharp black spikes now lay hidden within the seams, able to extend at will. The scales reflected the moonlight like blades, flickering with dark brilliance.

Activating [Strength Mode], he infused the vitality and blood power entirely.

Meng Chuan felt heated all over, as if there was a furnace glowing beneath the armor, jarring him awake to the doubled enhancement effect compared to before.

The originally deep red magma-patterned lines vanished, replaced by images akin to landscape paintings, dragon-tiger golden bells, and divine sword-flying sickles rising and falling with thick fog.

Ultimately, it coalesced into a beast’s head seal emblazoned across his chest, resembling both dragon and demon, resonating with his breath.

In his mind’s eye, Meng Chuan saw a massive shadow bristling with spikes crossing the void.

A whirlwind of black mist surrounded him, an aura of unparalleled threat.

Yet, Meng Chuan’s will stood as tall as the heavens, effortlessly suppressing all malicious violence.

Such fierce armor!

He feared no one below the esteemed level could handle it.

"The unique spirit of five-grade divine weapon armor..."

Drawing back his gaze, Meng Chuan looked at his chest.

He discovered that this beast head could "leap" out as one with him to launch an assault on enemies.

These enhancements in power due to the newly-made fierce armor, coupled with the costly materials Yang Zhaoxing had procured, had elevated the defensive ability significantly beyond its third-grade predecessor.

"The fierceness with lightning surpass aids in neutralizing foreign force, and the beast iron essence can block countless weapons!"

Yang Zhaoxing explained, the former guarding the spirit, the latter shielding the body.

This was a delightful surprise, as Meng Chuan hadn’t prioritized the armor’s defensive capabilities.

Feeling it briefly, he couldn’t help but nod inwardly.

Equipped for battle, the overall defensive enhancement effect was far stronger than his body at present.

Even should someone as powerful as Seviss attack without deploying "Dao techniques," he feared they couldn’t penetrate his iron tortoise shell!

No wonder competitions banned the use of fifth-grade divine weapon armor, even though the fierceness wasn’t adept in defense, just having some enhanced features made it practically an invincible glitch...

Shhh—

A soft hissing sound, and the black mist quickly dispersed.

Segment by segment, black scales fell away, commanded skillfully.

Meng Chuan’s eyes gleamed brightly as he looked down at the fierce armor now transformed into a belt, feeling rather reluctant to part from it.

He could clearly feel that even without donning it, the spirit of the fierceness was active, bestowing him an invisible "shield."

A full-force strike from a regular grandmaster might struggle to break it.

"What a treasure..."

Feeling every detail of the fierceness, a smile appeared on Meng Chuan’s face. In his heart, he quietly reaffirmed that his prior decision had indeed been correct.

Given the current circumstances, his post-tournament selection had been hugely rewarding, even blood-profitable.

Of course, the most crucial reason for such profit lay in the substantial backing from his father-in-law...

"With this, venturing into the starry sky offers greater assurance; now only the fierce armor awaits its fifth-grade ascension.

But it won’t be long, even if we lack azure demon for now, there’s still the offering from Wang Chongyi of five cubic meters of dragon downfall essence, able to be transformed into earth demon to forge the divine weapon with more than enough material."

Once the fierce armor ascends, ample earth demon still remains to forge the celestial true gang for later use, with no waste.

Meng Chuan silently planned, already having a rough blueprint for the future.

Approaching the limit-breaking stage, consolidating celestial true gang was of utmost importance, not only as a means of strengthening his combat abilities but as his safeguard against the turbulent currents of the void.

Saint Xun had previously talked about this.

Faced with the pervasive void turbulence within the cosmos, without a tier eight god’s physique, one could only rely on gang qi to withstand it.

...

Taking advantage of the good moonlit evening, Meng Chuan first practiced various martial arts.

The brain god pill and dragon power elixir obtained from Liao Huo were set aside for now, to be taken during future meditation.

His gaze wandered around the panel, with successive limit breaks achievable for the three perfection fist skills.

With the martial arts comprehension he required, Meng Chuan smiled contentedly.

The progress of absorbing Xingyi Boxing from across the realm, more than half the ordinary fist skills were already mastered.

Given his extraordinary martial arts talent now, the cultivation pace could only be described with the word "terrifying."
